text: Having cell phones in school is opening a whole new set of problems for teachers and student and should just be kept off during the day and used at home or while that student is out doing what his or her does. School is for learning, not for checking your e-mail or notifications on a social networking site.Technology is everywhere these days. In our pockets, on our tables and counters, everywhere we turn. You're using technology right now, as you read this. One of the most important types of technology we have is our cell phones. Everyone from 10-year-olds to 100-year-olds have them. To some people, it's just to connect with friends, to others, it's what their whole career depends on it. Either way, cell phones are a key element in today's society.
