The side effects are that people are socializing and talking instead of being on their phones.

I feel like they would be useful at social events because sometimes people just want to sit on their phone instead of talking to others.
6. What would you think if Bowie started using them?
I think that it would take some getting used to.I use my phone a lot during school for things music and texting my friends about what fit I should go to. 
7. Do you think there will be a response to cell phone use in the future, for example, will there be a time when people don't use them like we do today? What impact would that have on the world?
I wish I could say that the answer is yes but technology is growing so much that the chance of that happening is low. If that were to happen, the impact would be huge. People would go back to being social face to face.
