text: Cell phones have become part of everyday life for kids in modern times. They are convenient and allow one to quickly send and receive news. As stated they can alert you to harm but also can alert you to when something is happening or should happen. I myself find great use for my cell phone, I use it to know when to take my pills which occasionally lands on school time. Other kids might use them so know when to do other thing like call home to make sure someone does something like say staying in bed if they are sick.
