FYS Digital Story Annotated Bibliography
-In my initial proposal for my digital story I said that the
topic I would like to present on was internet data safety with a combination of
cell phone addiction. I have decided to just base my project solely on cell
phone addiction. It is a prevalent problem in today’s society. Whether you are
waiting for an appointment, or just taking the bus somewhere everyone is glued
to their phones and doing nothing but checking their social media outlets or
playing a game on an application. Small talk with other people is very rare if
not totally extinct because of the dawn of the smartphone in society. I feel
like it would be very easy to produce a digital story based off of this because
I think that that the creative process behind it would be better because cell
phone addiction is just something that is very common in the everyday life of
the average American. The theme behind my story is going to be a person going
through their average day and the people around him are always ignoring their
surroundings because they are so attached to their phones. The idea behind it
is going to be how society is different than it was before the age of the smart
phone and how it is going downhill because of it. Even though social media is a
good thing face to face interaction in my opinion is much better. People these
days are lacking in basic people skills because they are always looking at a
screen and thinking they have something better to do than talking with other
people.
-The way I present this will once again be through the
possibility of creating a comic on the different online mediums we have been
introduced in class. I also want to put them into a prezi and make a
presentation about my topic. I could utilize the comic by embedding it into the
prezi so during the presentation I could access the comic and show it to other
people.
-I plan on using all of these sources to display new
information about cell phone addiction that not that many people may know, but
might find interesting. By incorporating these into the story, I hope to make
it more informative to the viewer.
Bibliographies
1.
Wallace, Kelly. "How to Cut Your Kids' Cell
Phone Addiction." CNN. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 17 Nov. 2013.
-The
reason behind me choosing this article is that it clearly outlines the problem
I described above in the introduction. Kids are always on their phones and not
making time for their families at events. It describes ways that people can cut
off their kids cell phone usage at family events and around the family overall.
It is a good start for getting them off their phones and interacting with
people. The only downfall for this is that it only applies to kids who live
with their parents.

-This article
from men’s health outlines how one can tell they are addicted to their cell

the symptoms and see if anyone has any of these

-This article is more relevant to people in college/ adults
about cell phone addiction. It gives some ways to break the cell phones hold on
us and discusses the problems of always staring at a screen. It would ad the
value of really identifying what’s going on with the cell phone problem and
possible solutions for older people and not just children.

-This article
discusses how there actually are rehab centers for smartphone/ mobile device
addiction. There is actually a scientific term for cell phone addiction, which
is nomophobia. Which is the anxiety caused by being away from these devices.
This article is helpful because it brings in an extreme solution to cell phone
addiction that does exist and is a viable option for people who have a real
problem with their devices.
