Mobile phones are a significant form of communication, which is why people have been debating how they can affect relationships positively and negatively.
Computer Science for Fun 2005(?) says that before the industrial revolution, friends and families would live together, having close relationships. However, due to the spread of society, relationships became more distant, it then states that mobile phones can bring people closer together again: “because of our mobiles we can constantly chat or text with them just as people used to.”
Despite bringing people closer together, mobile phones can in fact have a damaging effect on relationships. Höflich .R J n.d. states that
“…something small seems to be having a relatively large effect on relationships.”
Goldacre. B 2006 believes that the use of digital imaging capabilities on the phone limits the verbal communication between partners, reducing their interaction.
Goldacre. B 2006 draws attention to services that make it easy for someone to illegally track whoever they hold the mobile phone number of: “…delete two text messages that arrive immediately, warning them they are being tracked. You can stalk them for a couple of days, find out if they really are where they say they are, work out who they are with…”
Not a bad literature review - you do not have to provide the initial as well as the surname with your reference.
