This article is perfect for my argument because it states how much the sales have increased for phones despite the downfall economy. It has a perfect quote about how the cell phone has become an apenndage for a man, perfect for my argument that we are too dependent on smart phones. Also, the part about how it is a social norm to answer emails in an hour or less or your are considered ignoring the person which is just ridiculous and proves that people worship these phones too much.

This article is essential for my safety argument. It has statistics that show that smartphones are the cause of 15-25% of all car accidents. This proves my point that phones are a hazardous distraction and cause unesecarry risks.

This article is perfect for my argument of making social messes out of people because it is full of statistics based on how much people use the smartphones. It states that 87% of smartphone owners check emails at least once a day and 25% use it more than computer. Seemingly harmless, yes, but the fact that people are checking emails and on it more than a computer, meaning they are connected on the technology level but in relity they are ignoring whats around them.
