手機是我們生活不可或缺的一部分。這個小玩意兒的便利使得它成為世界上增長最快的技術產品，它從一個80年代的奢侈品，成為21世紀的常用品。但是我們變得依賴手機，甚至覺得，沒有手機我們就活不下去。我們完全沉迷在短信、電話、與那些離我們很遠的人的交流中，卻忽視了就在我們眼前的人。許多青少年和年輕人疏遠了那些愛他們的人，因為他們忙于創(chuàng)建和維護網絡上的友誼。

Cell phones are an integral part of our life today. The convenience of this little gadget is what makes it the world’s fastest growing technological device, going from a luxury in the 1980s to a must-have in the 21st century. But we have become dependent on them to the point that we feel that we cannot live without them. We get so addicted to texting, calling and communicating with those who are far away that we neglect the ones who are right in front of us. Many teens and young adults grow distant from those who love them because they are consumed with creating and maintaining cyber friendships.
