A recent survey of 2,000 college students asked about their attitudes towards phone calls and text-messaging (also known as Short Message Service) and found the students’ main goal was to pass along information in as little time, with as little small talk, as possible. "What they like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people," says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D. C. , who conducted the survey. "What they like least is that other people can reach them. " How far do you agree with Professor Baron?

Mobile Phones Make Students Unsociable Recently, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D. C. conducted a survey about college students’ attitudes towards phone calls and text messaging and finally he concluded that what the students like most about their phones is that they can reach other people and what they like least is that other people can reach them. This result is seemingly contradictory, but in fact, it faithfully portrays the dilemma faced by students, who both aspire to and are fearful of communication. In my opinion, it is nothing but telephones that are largely responsible for making students unsociable by depriving them of their adaptive capacity and social acceptability. Originally speaking, adaptability of young people to new surroundings is one of their good qualities, but nowadays they would rather resort to old friends by phone calls and text messages than actively integrate into new circumstances. It seems quite fortunate for freshmen to have telephone contact with their old friends when they feel unaccustomed to the unfamiliar surroundings. Yet, the truth is that telephones provide a shelter for them to shy away from the new environment as well as take away their opportunities to make new friends. Thus, with their adaptive capacity being unable to be fostered, many of the college students would probably fail to adapt to the new working conditions once they step into society. What’s more, text messaging makes the students unable to communicate well with others in the real world. As is known to all, the Short Message Service culture features ungrammatical structures and non-standard language, which totally differs from oral expressions, thus rendering the phone freak unable to communicate fluently in real daily life. On the other hand, since students develop a habit of non-face-to-face communication by telephone, they are prone to have social phobia because of their poor oral expressions and blushing faces when they are in a real social context. Consequently, it is no wonder that many students turn to their telephones with an attempt to conceal their unnaturalness when they are at a dinner table or at a party. In spite of the adverse impact caused by the mobile phone, it is equally unwise to set a limit for the students on phone use. Anyway, it is a proven fact that mobile phones play an important role in our life. Therefore, in order to remove such embarrassing situation among the college students, school authorities should offer an appropriate guide about phone use and create a more positive and harmonious ambience for them, which is also beneficial for their future development.
