bachelor’s degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make about

$62,000. And studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make $89,000 or more a year.

Cell phones are an integral part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep

students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day, if

you forgot your lunch, you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students have

the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.

Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that

don’t go to school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher

self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow

students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some cases,

can act as documentation of misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence and

deter bad behavior.

Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may

need to be reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And

just imagine if classes could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even be

streamed and seen from home instantly?
