I believe that everyone should have a cellphone. It is good for entertainment on rainy days and when you have a long time waiting for something. Also it is used for communication, like when you get a flat tyre on your bike. Lastly people think when you have a phone you are not social, but texting and using social media is actually being social. Here are my reasons why kids should have a cell-phone
A phone is an excellent tool for entertainment. If you are on a road trip and you have nothing to do, you can pull out your phone and play games for a quick 10 minutes, it’s better than boredom. sport games are harmless and can be used to educate your kids. Netflix and YouTube can actually educate your kids, like a book review.
Phones can be used for communication. First-aid training cooperative has stated that in the UK, 16500 people get injured every year from recreational mountain biking, 100 people die every year. The stats look like this; 2500 serious, 14000 minor. How would you like it if you couldn’t contact your parents when you crashed your mountain bike? If you have a flat tyre and you have to repair it and don’t know what to do, it is easy to download a manual to change a flat. If you didn’t have a phone you couldn’t ride your bike out because you will damage the rim.
Would you believe that 4.8 billion people have phones, 2.7 billion people have social media! If you don’t see friends often you can use texts to ask them how they are doing. Adults say people on phones aren’t social... That isn’t the case. Texting your friends is being social. Social media is safe, apps like Snapchat have report buttons so if something inappropriate happens you can report it. Most people think that you can be bullied on social media and that is the case IF you are being irresponsible with your phone.
I strongly believe that all kids over the age of 12 should have a phone because they are good for entertainment and educating your kids. Secondly they are the only help tool to get you help if you have a crash on your bike in the woods. Lastly they can be used to be social, using texts and Snapchat is social, isn’t it?
Great argument for, Will - well put. What about procrastination, harmful social media, distraction (including drivers) and addiction?
