Personal Space Most people attribute the changes in society of the last 10–15 years to the Internet. In doing so, they fail to give enough credit to cell phones and other portable communication devices. Such technological devices have "fractured" society, not by driving wedges between people, but by allowing people to drive wedges between themselves.
Before cell phones and other portable communication devices, people could not communicate at a distance as freely as they do today. Friends who chose to go to different colleges would communicate through letters and infrequent phone calls. Upon arriving at college, they found that they could not rely on old friends to be there all the time, and because of this, they attempted to make new friends. Today, these same people do not have to seek out new friends because they can communicate instantly with old friends across great distances through phone calls and text messages. As a result, they meet fewer new people and spend less time outside of the world in which they feel comfortable.
The fractures that we see in today's society are a direct result of this kind of change. Technology gives people the option of not exploring the worlds that exist outside of their daily lives, interests, and closest friends. Far too many people choose that option.

You have taken notes from this passage. Which note would be most relevant to a report about communication before the age of cell phones?

Will anyone be able to check for grammatical errors and give an opinion on the essay itself? write about the following topic: some people believe that allowing children to make their own cholces on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. discuss both these views and give your own opinion. —— nowadays, in this busy and fast developing world teaching children from an early age to cope with their own decisions (such as food, clothes etc.) and then take the coincidences after that is something that a lot of people believe that it is important for them. on the other hand other people think that it might end up in a society of humans who put their wishes before anyone else's. but which one of these views will predominate? firstly, the people who allow their children to make their own decisions are the people who everyone should look up to. it is important to let your children learn from the mistakes their make. the parents can not be with them all the time every day and for that reason, teaching them to deal with their decisons or even problems will them in the future. of course, there are always disadvantages such as some people may really forget about that their children will need them at a certain point in life and may loose connection whit them. but that is why it should have that moderately path, where kids will make their own decisions but will feel comfortable to always ask for a advice tueur parents. on the other hand, there are and the second type of parents which think that too much individualism is not good. it really depends on the parents how they will teach their children to carry on with the independence they have. a lot of them might forget that they are still kids and will need and advices from time to time and because of that the parents turn their kids in individuals who only think about their own wishes due to the fact that they are let on their own and have to cope with everyone and everything by themselves. in conclusion, i think that the best decision someone can make is to look up to the first type of parents. that way they will be able to train their children to become independent people who will respect the wishes of others and they will be able to cope with their decisions in the future when they need it.
