From the Paper
"During the twentieth century there was a significant shift in the way that the majority of Americans-and indeed people around the developed world-made their livings. The industrial revolution brought with it a departure from agrarian-based economies where individuals worked for their own food and made their own consumables to a manufacturing based economy where increasing numbers of individuals began working for companies. This shift in the labor force gave rise to specialists from skilled technicians to professional managers who formed large organizations..."

Abstract
This is a speech about how cell phones are dangerous when driving. The paper relates that possible deaths and injuries from such a scenario makes a parent shake, yet many situations like this happen every day because people choose to use their cell phones without any thought of the possible risks to others. The paper argues that laws should be passed to stop people from using cell phones when driving.

From the Paper
"According to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, "Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year" (Britt). Imagine a car heading toward a school bus while the driver is talking on the cell phone without seeing the red light or the school bus. The possible deaths and injuries from such a scenario makes a parent shake, yet many situations like this happen every day because people choose to use their cell phones without any thought of the possible risks to others. Laws should be passed to stop people from using cell phones when driving."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of developing policy for the use of cell phones in school settings. The author's viewpoint is toward stopping cell phone use in the instructional setting yet not unduly restricting student access to communication.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the challenge of creating a learning environment in secondary schools where there is widespread and improvident use of cellular phones on the part of students at inappropriate times despite regulations against such usage. The plan of the research will be to set forth an explanation of the conditions in which the challenge has arisen and then to discuss a general strategy that administrative school authorities could use to implement the need to suppress phone use as per prevailing school policy.

Abstract
This paper discusses why cell phones are so dangerous by looking at a variety of accidents and injuries caused by cell phones. The author argues for the necessity of national legislation banning hand held cell phones while driving. Includes an a persuasive discussion of the way that advanced technology and communication has affected society.

From the Paper
"Radios, pets, other people in your cars. What do these things have in common? They are all distractions to a person that is driving a car. However there is one other distraction that is worse than any of these combined. This distraction can make you 4 times as likely to crash. It can be just as harmful as drunk driving (Frankfield 1). What is this distraction? It is a simple device that millions upon millions of people in our country own and use daily. It is a device that can ironically save our lives in times of danger. It is a cellular phone. It is for this reason that legislation must be passed nationally banning the use of hand held cell phones while driving."

Abstract
This paper examines how cell phones and personal digital assistants PDAs have skyrocketed and are now quite common and viewed as a "must have" by numerous individuals. It shows how as technology has advanced, the size and features of cell phones and PDAs has also advanced, to the point where cell phones and PDAs have many functions that were once the exclusive domain of facsimiles and personal computers. It provides a brief history of the development of both gadgets and outlines their main functions and discusses current advancements as well as what the future holds for them.

From the Paper
"In 1994, the FCC declared it was allocating spectrum specifically for PCS technologies at the 1,900 MHz band. These new digital wireless standards are currently still being used in PCS. With these technological advances, the marketing of cell phones shifted from high volume business users who were largely unconcerned with cost to the general public who was cost conscious and lobbied for a higher quality of service and more features. In 2001, Ericsson launched its color-screened T69 in Europe; by 2002, Sprint PCS, Motorola, Nextel, and other major cell phone manufacturers released their own versions of color-screen cell phones among much fanfare. "

"Social interaction is the basis of a civil society. Polite social interaction demands controls on individual behavior as a means of interacting in a rational good-mannered and gentlemanly or gentlewomanly way.
