Annotated Bibliography
Growing up in my teenage years, I have always had the iPhone for a cellular phone. I
always thought it was an amazing and simple phone. It had many benefits, with all of its new
applications and new software compared to other devices. After I used my iPhone for many
years, I started to notice my eyesight was slowly decreasing. I also started to notice new habits
that I started doing as soon as I was using the iPhone constantly. In my paper I talk about how
even though there are many benefits, American teenagers from the ages of thirteen through
nineteen should reduce the usage of iPhone cellphones because of the long term effects of loss of
eyesight, radiation, and anti-socialism. I use a newspaper, book, website, and an online database
to support my thesis. My intended audience would be teenagers and anyone who uses an iPhone.
From this paper I hope to inform my audience about the down side to iPhones.

This newspaper article is about the loss of eyesight due to constant usage of an iPhone. In
my paper, I wanted to talk about a problem that affected me since I have slowly lost some of my
eyesight from using my iPhone constantly. This article does give specific examples of the way
the iPhone affects our vision, which helped me write one of my supporting paragraphs. Since I
was able to get examples and quotes from this article, it is my secondary source. Defiantly by
reading this article, I will inform my friends and family to read this newspaper article in order for
them to be aware of what happens when they constantly use an iPhone.

This article from a database talks about one of my supporting ideas for my paper, which
is radiation. This article is another one of my secondary sources since I was able to get great
quotes from. The article is about radiation affecting the human body when having a phone in the
jeans. Scherer says, “First, an admission: I didn't read the safety manual after I bought my
BlackBerry Bold 9000” (60). He draws the attention of the reader by explaining his own
experience with his brand new cellular device. This article will help my paper in informing my
audience that the iPhone can be dangerous to the body, which will support my thesis.

I consider this book to be my main source. It consider to be my main source because I am
basically writing about how technology is bad, but being more specific by writing how iPhones
are bad. I was also able to get a supporting idea to back up my thesis from this book. Turkle
explains, “Teenagers tell me they sleep with their cell phone, and even when it isn’t on their
person, when it has been banished to the school locker, for instance, they know when their phone
is vibrating“ (26). Just like this example, she writes personal experience examples to help
support her main ideas. Using this book as a source helped me be able to write my paper and
gave me another one of supporting ideas.

This website article that I choose to use is also a secondary source to my paper. Wortham
explains, “No matter the number, one thing is clear: Our lives have slowly and surely become
dominated by the applications that we use, both on our mobile devices and desktop computers”
(Wortham). Her main idea is that applications are slowly dominating people’s lives. She explains
gives examples such as teenager’s lives being affected by these applications. I choose this source
because iPhones are basically popular for all the applications they have. Everything done through
an iPhone is through an application; so having an article about being too dependent on these
applications defiantly helped me support my thesis statement.

“When a phone or other device is held close to one’s face, it forces the eye to work
harder than usual to focus on text, says Mark Rosenfield, an optometrist who published
research on the topic in The Journal of the American Academy of Optometry in 2011.”

“David Allamby, an eye surgeon and the founder of Focus Clinics in London, recently
coined the term “screen sightedness” and pointed out that according to his research, there
has been a 35% increase in the number of people with advancing myopia since
smartphones launched in 1997.” (LaMagna)

“Holding a smartphone farther away (but still using it the same amount) won’t
necessarily prevent myopia entirely, Schaal said.” (LaMagna)

“And since smartphones have such a small screen, the incidents of peering closely at
them tend to be higher than for other devices.” (LaManga)
