This project is about the impact of the cell phone and Internet on human life. The project will describe how cell phones and Internet has changed the way that humans have reacted among one another since these electronic devices were invented. The project will show that each of these devices can be used equally the same, and how they have made communication easier. The Internet was created during the 19th century, and is being constantly upgraded everyday. The creation of the Internet made communication easier for citizens during that time period because instead of them waiting 2-3 weeks they could just send an email and the person that they are sending it to would get their message instantly. The cell phone was created in 1947, and it is also being upgraded everyday. The cell phone has impacted human life because it has helped citizens get in contact with the person of their choice much easier than on the Internet.

The Internet and the cell phone have impacted our lives in an outstanding way, but also in a hurtful way. The Internet was created during the 19th century, and is being constantly upgraded everyday. The creation of the Internet made communication easier for citizens during that time period because instead of them waiting 2-3 weeks they could just send an email and the person that they are sending it to would get their message instantly. The cell phone was created in 1947, and it is also being upgraded everyday. The cell phone has impacted human life because it has helped citizens get in contact with the person of their choice much easier than on the Internet.

The positive impact that the Internet has made on our live is that it made communication easier, shopping easier, and education. It has made communication easier because during the 19th century the citizens had to send letters through the mail, which could have taken 2 to 3 weeks at the most before the receiver of the letter gets it, and before the reader gets the letter what you may have wanted them to know would have been over and done with. Now that the Internet has been created citizens do not have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for their relative or friend to get the information that they wanted them to know. The positive impact that the cell phone has had on our lives is that it made communication easier for farmers, relatives, and friends. Farmers were able to call the company or people that they were sending their crops to; to get the update on did they receive the crops that they were harvesting. Cell phone made talking to someone easier because if the person you wanted to communicate with had a cell phone, you would have been able to contact him or her immediately and hear his or her voice to make sure that was him or her that you were talking to, as opposed to an e-mail which anyone can read if they have your e-mail address and password.

The negative ways that the Internet has had on human life is cyber bullying, identity theft, and pedophiles could interact with children easier. Cyber bullying has cause children to kill them selves because of what their friends put on a social network or on the Internet about them. Many teenage children have killed them selves because they thought that they could trust their peers with their secrets and they expose them on social networks through the Internet. Identity theft became easier because citizens begun to create counterfeit websites, where you had to enter your credit card numbers and other things off that nature. While your waiting for you package to be delivered, the creator of the website that you ordered you item from has stolen your identity and making your credit worse and using you identity for things that they feel would make a bad name for you. Pedophiles were able to talk to children over the Internet, and have the children thinking that they are talking to a 15 year old or any other teenager and the child is actually talking to a 51 year old or any other elderly person. Young aged children are the ones that the pedophiles like to interact with because they feel that the children are too young and naïve. They reason they think that is because the pedophile doesn’t have a profile picture, and they tell the children sweet things that gets them hooked, and they would do anything that the pedophile tells them to do. The children would get so hooked into the pedophiles game until the pedophile gets them to meet them some where and pedophile gets what he wants and kills the child. The cell phone has impact our live in a negative way because teenagers have gotten to the stage where they think that they are grown, and they can do what they want. Teenage boys and girls feel that in order to keep a boyfriend or girlfriend they have to exploit their bodies. Teenage boys and girls have sent these pictures to their significant other thinking that they could trust them enough not to send these pictures of their nude bodies to everyone. Teenagers have stayed home from school to avoid humiliation from their peers because they trusted their significant other not to send their picture all over school. The cell phone has also been a distraction while driving because citizens do not have the patience to wait until they come to a complete stop to answer their text messages or to call someone back.
