Mobile phones have changed the way teenagers interact.

Before smartphones typically you’d call or text someone to know what they’re doing, who they’re with or where they are, now via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram you don’t even
have to ask.

Computers are of lesser importance to the Millenials as before because they can as easily surf the web on their
phones.

“One in four young people say they are “cell-mostly” Internet users
a percentage that increases to about half when the phone is a smartphone.”

never truly alone.

They are always messaging, viewing people’s photos and thoughts. So that when they are alone, without their phone,
they are not equipped to deal with it and often feel depressed

Mobiles have led millenials to rarely truly be focused on one thing, their attention is split between multiple things at
nearly all times.

Phones and the advancement of its functions has also led to relationship strain and hardships. Paranoia is also often caused if you
are not getting a response but see them tweet.

Though the millenials are the future, and mobile phones will help increase productivity and are extremely significant to the economy, it
is important to note the downfalls of millenial mobile addiction and take steps to moderate mobile use.
