Institution:

In this life, all come from a simplicity. Then, technology changes the simplicity into something which is
very useful in all aspects of human life. This world, as if it cannot get off 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 just a tool of communication but has become a lifestyle for most of people.

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 are 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 achievements 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.
