Society today

As I sat down to dinner this past week, eating out with my family that had come to watch my soccer game, it made me think about all the time that people spend on their phones. Every table around us, people had out their phones and were constantly on them instead of engaging in conversation with the ones who are with them. As I sat there talking with my cousins, it made me appreciate the fact that nobody at our table was on their phone. We all sat there engaging in conversation, sharing stories and laughs all while enjoying each others company. 

Smart phones are seen everywhere you go now and are the primary reason society is changing today. Instead of calling friends, we text them. Instead of watching the news, we are able to easily look it up. The same goes for when students need to do research, we have easy access to computers and phones to easily look up information we need to get instead of going to the library and finding books to help us. As we look back over the past few years, the changes are pretty obvious. When you go out in public its common to see groups together, but all on their phones. You see even the youngest of children carrying around iPhones, kids getting phones as young as possibly 6th grade which was uncommon in previous years. In the end society today is becoming one to be known with technology and all the new creations making a serious change in society today.
