text: Another reason is that cell phones keep us up to date. We hear about news happening all around the world on our cell phones. We can make sure there have not been any shootings or earth quakes that have injured our loved ones during the time we are at school. We can check the weather on the phones so we know if we need a jacket when we walk outside or if our afternoon activities have been canceled do to rain. Having a cell phone is like having a news paper.
