Cell Phones Turning Teens Into Chimpanzees

Слайд 2

«М obile phones making a monkey out of Japanese ». [Mainichi. Daily News] Well, this is certainly news. Looks like a professor at the Kyoto University Primate Research Institute has accused Japanese teenagers of acting like monkeys— all because of their overuse of mobile phones. Basically, younger folk are mocking the behavior of chimpanzees by losing the ability to discern between public and private space.

" They make places like Shibuya their territory and rarely head even to places like (nearby entertainment and shopping districts) Shinjuku or Harajuku. They get tired going to new places or meeting new people. If they get hungry while they're strolling around, they simply get food by going into a convenience store, buying something and sitting down outside on the curb to eat it. If not that, then they just h ang around for hours in fast food joints." Masataka says these behaviors closely resembles the behavior of chimps which tend to travel in groups, walking around for a long time without going to any specific place, then eating and disposing of their wastes in the same place before bedding down on piles of grass whenever and wherever the inclination takes them.

"The interconnectedness you get from the cell phone is a very positive thing, and I think that's one of the most important things, the bringing together of people. The downside of that is that you sometimes want to be alone," said Lemelson Center Director Merton C. Flemings. The telephone survey of 1,023 adults and 500 teenagers was conducted by Princeton, New Jersey-based Taylor Nelson Sofres Intersearch and was released .

Ninety-five percent of the adults surveyed felt that inventions had improved the quality of their lives.

Dillon said he had a love-hate relationship with television . He ditched his television years ago. Now, he, Bleau, and Bleau's daughter have a TV in their Latham, New York, home, but it is used only for watching movies. "It's not hooked into any kind of broadcast or anything like that, primarily because it's so invasive, and can take over your life," he said. "But it's a double-edged sword. I miss the History Channel."

Jaime Wasserman, 26, of Boston, walked through Quincy Market with her cell phone pressed to her ear. "I love technology. There's really nothing that irritates me. I love it all. Computers, television," she said. "An alarm clock? You need an alarm clock. People who hate it are probably lazy people who just don't feel like getting up in the morning."

It is almost impossible for me to live without my phones. At home I have got a cordless telephone, I think it saves time when you have a receiver just at hand. But my mum was against buying a cordless phone because if there is some problem with electricity it would not work and you will be totally lost. She also thinks that it is a luxury to have a mobile, it is too expensive, and it is more trouble than it is worth. Besides she says that mobiles are dangerous for health. The rays may cause headaches and even more dangerous diseases. I don ’ t believe her. For me my telephones are really invaluable.
