But there is also some side effects that David Sacks mentions. Some of them are depression, mood swings, exhaustion, heart rate and blood pressure irregularities, and psychosis. Another consequence that David Sacks thinks is very important but is often overlooked is the risk of addiction. This is a big problem because the American college students have no problem with using the drugs: “One in 10 teens has used Adderall or Ritalin without a doctor's prescription” (p. 1, l. 26) and “studies show 1 in 4 college studnts have misused ADHD medication” (p. 1, ll. 27-28).

...Text Messaging: The Effects on Our Society A Report By: Blake Hogan, Emily Gilbert, Megan Leckington, and Chris Morris 1 Abstract: In today’s day and age, most everyone in our society has and uses a cell phone. Most of those who use cell phones also use the SMS text messaging that these phones feature. This study takes a look at some of the effects and potential problems arising from the use of this text messaging. A survey of students and instructors at Lane Community College found that 70% of those surveyed believed that texting had harmful effects on students writing skills. However, studies that were analyzed found that texting is actually beneficial. While 54% of teenagers text others on a daily basis only 33% of teenagers talk to others face-to-face, yet it is too early in research to draw a conclusion on whether texting is harmful to their social skills. Most people know that text messaging while driving is very dangerous, yet the studies analyzed as well as the surveys conducted show that some people are still willing to take that risk.
