Are bad because they distract people when they are driving

Because they keep people from having real face to face discussions, and especially when people are with other people, they don’t pay attention to what the person is saying.

Waste money People use them in class, cause

disruptions They are thought to cause brain cancer

because of the radiation they emit Even little kids have them

I like cell phones, and think they are cool!

Titles Not too many graphics Be CONSISTANT! (design, background,

color)
