Pros:
In airplanes and hospitals, cell phones can interfere with the functioning of delicate instruments, a serious consideration. Many states have banned cell use while driving, citing a relationship between phones and traffic accidents.
Pros: Peace and Quiet:
Many people go to places such as libraries specifically to focus and do work. Others attend church or religious services for time to worship and reflect. People who use their "cell yell" in such a setting distract others.
Pro: Inconveniencing Others:
Often cell phone users will multitask, attempting to carry on a conversation while using an ATM, driving or completing a store transaction. Their divided attention becomes an obstruction to the cashier and an inconvenience to those behind them, who must wait longer.
Cons:
Cell phones have greatly influenced society. Safety, for certain, is one benefit that they provide. If you are in an accident, you can call for help. If you are lost, if your car breaks down, wherever you go you have access to another person unless you are out of range of service. They have also been beneficial to business and industry. Because they do not charge for domestic long distance calls, communication with people across the country has been made more affordable. Business can be conducted anywhere a cell tower can reach, and today's smart phones can also help you navigate with GOS, can allow you to look up information on the Internet, and can even let you check e-mails and do work on your phone.
Con: Emergencies
Genuine emergencies do occur, and some calls truly cannot wait. People who have sick or elderly family members, parents expecting an important call from their child, and those in the midst of a crisis believe it's acceptable to leave their phones on in public.
