Public Display of Disaffecton

1) What are three main points in this article? Support each point with a properly integrated quote

In "public display of disaffection' by Anne Kingston many reasons are explained to us why cell phones are a negative thing. three that stand out to me are "its and addiction". we are getting more and more focused on our phones that we dont realize we are "losing our one-on-one people skills and ability to engage in uninterupted, focused conversation."  also people are losing emotion while with eachother. While on dates 1/3 of zoosk users spoke out about leaving the date because of their date was on his or her phone the whole time. "[it has] turned formerly nice, sensative, and creative types into assholes." lastly, people need to know their boundries when around other people in public places. poeple while talking on their phones tend to not fucus and get themselves into trouble whether it may be in a vehicle, in a restaurant. its destracting and "people are fed up."

2) I personally do not agree with the article written by Anne Kingston because we are coming to a point where soon enough everything in our lives will involve technology and will become our new lifestyle. we need to keep using technology and adapt to the future. without technology we wouldnt be where we are today. 

3) Places where i think cell phones should be acceptable are classrooms, work, and in the open. cell phones now are getting more and more technologically sound and are very useful in times where you dont have a computer or office space. i dont think cell phones are acceptable in funerals, movie theatres, and dinner with family. its rude and annoying. i dont think they should put bans on cellphones because everyone would still try and go against it. people need to think if they wanted it done to them or not and have respect.
