The passage the question is referring to is the following:

<em> "Right." Sr. Summers said. He made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, "Watson boy drawing this year?" </em>

Yes. I think people should limit their cellphone use. I think this because there is a whole world to experience and everyone is on their phones instead. phones are so dangerous to society. 80% of car accidents are caused by cell phone use while driving. I think cell phones need to be limited.
