[TOPIC] Smartphones are a very large part of everyday life, you could even say that my generation, Gen I, cant even live without them. While these phones are a staple of everyday life I still would not go as far to say that they have destroyed our generation. [RESTRICTION] JEAN M. Twenge and her article that was posted into the Alantic seems to cover the more extremes as we talked about it as a class and none of us had experienced the same things. [EVIDENCE] In her article Twenge talks a lot about how kids are no longer doing the same stuff as previous generations like drinking and smoking. This seemed to be a pretty big piece of evidence and it is almost a counter example of how cellphones have not ruined our generation. [ANALYSIS] Using this example it seems to discredit the article because she says it almost like teens not drinking and smoking so much is a bad thing. [CONCLUSION] Overall I think that this evidence needs to just be reexamined so it fits with the more current trends.
