Area Code 215

Area Code 215 Olivia SchmidtWe hide them under desks to text during school. They rest in our back pockets and purses. The buzz and beep of them excites us. We might throw them in the midst of an angry conversation. The characters on their buttons fade with usage. They hang off our walls or sit on our counters. They often distract us. They can be used to do so much for us. We use them as calculators and cameras. They can consume our salaries. They are expensive. We can’t seem to live without them. While living in America, you see phones everywhere. In cities, like Philadelphia, you might see them more than an average rural setting. People use them to schedule meetings, talk to loved ones, and much, much more. Cellular devices and new phone plans give people the ability to communicate with others that are far away. It’s our number one way of communica-tion. Whether you’re texting or talking, you’ve got your phone on you. Young or old, you’ve come in touch with this piece of technology. They are in almost every setting we enter. It’s impossible to avoid them. Phones have be-come a part of everyday life. They spoil us and we always want the coolest models. Phones consume our time. They’re irreplaceable.
