Cell Phone Use Project

1. ​The purpose of this project was to compare my phone use to my peers and reflect on my phone use as well as my peers and how multitasking cell phone addiction affect peoples lives.

2. What I have learned from the data is that some individuals phones take up quite a big portion of their lives. Such as texting while doing homework the most common answer shows that you are putting your phone before your school work and this can lead to some lower scores or hinder performance. Also from the information I learned that social media is one of the top used programs on a phone as from the data I found that 20 people out of the 83 used Instagram most of the time one of the top social media sites in the world.

3. I want to keep my addiction to my cell phone at a minimum and the article Addicted to Your Mobile Phone? Five Ways to Beat Your Addiction really helped me plan my day so it would not rely on my phones as much as I did before. I want to create a schedule to start off so each day I can reduce my cell phone usage to lower levels. Some tips I found from the website are as list:
   

• Don’t use your phone directly in the morning or while you are going to sleep breaking you out of your habit and fear of notification.
  
• Trying different things such as reading, drawing, or making hobbies.
  
• Talk to a friend or family member in real life distracting you from those notification and constant anxiety.

We collected data in the chart by all the ninth grade classes filling out a form with their information to be put in a single chart as shown by the chart linked below.
