of information, and this world really needs the presence of technology to process the
information. Technology also makes our life without distance, all felt close by the presence of
technology.

Originally technology is only to help a man in fulfilling their needs, but as the
development of it, there was a transfer of technology functions. Cell phone was used only for
a means to communicate and only used by certain people who are usually businessperson.
But, as the development of era, the cell phone is getting complete with many interesting
features and used by all the circles especially among teenagers. Now, the cell phone is not

Now, the world of cell phones is the world of communication to share, and entertain,
such as picture, games, music, and video. The price offered of a cell phone is quite affordable
and cell phone is also equipped with features like the internet, games, music, video, camera
that support technological development. Only by a cell phone, we can get a lot of information
through the features of cell phone which is called internet. The internet is the most updated
source of information. Now, the use of cell phone is dominated by internet features especially
social networking media, like facebook. Facebook has already been friend of in this life.
Among teenagers, cell phones is used as a multi function tool of communication. Because of
that, they may use it in positive and negative way. It depends on the individual itself.
However, nowadays, teenagers are very prone to negative impacts. It is as result from their
attitude which tend to try new things and their age which is liable of influence from outside
or inside their environment.
 In the past, children went to school bringing books, but now instead they bring cell
phone as if the cell phone is obligatory goods they have to bring, whether they really need it
or just take it as a style of their lives to keep confident. If we look at a lot of people from
various communities, they will not miss the popping up technology in this world. Various
circles do not only have one cell phone but more than one cell phone which actually spends
more money.

We also often see on the road, many drivers misuse the cell phone. They are driving
and at the same time, they are calling, sending text messages or accessing internet. Whereas,
this can cause traffic accidents because they do not focus on the road but they focus on their
cell phone. In addition, there is also the misuse of the cell phone at the time of the process of
teaching and learning at schools that while the teacher is explaining the lesson in front of the
class, the students are playing the cell phone. It has a very negative impact on the students’
achievement. Their achievement can be dropped. Even, at the examination, there are some
students who misuse the cell phone to exchange answers through text messages with their
friends.

We are as the young generation should be able to control the flow of globalization.
We must also be smart in controlling our emotions in the use of cell phone and other
technology. We have to be wise in using the technology, especially cell phone. We should
develop it, not only misuse it.
