No because National parks are meant for experiencing nature,not for playing on your phone all day.Also, you may lose your phone and then you could have lost a lot of valuable money.

I politely disagree with Navya because if you lose your phone you can still get a new one.

No, I don't think that cell phones should be allowed in national parks. A national park is supposed to be a place to enjoy the feeling of nature.You are no longer in the chaotic world with cars,planes, and boats and technology.Who wants to be disturbed by some random person babbling on their phone while you are trying to relax.Leave the modern world and enjoy the natural world.Also, if your phone runs out of battery you would just care about recharging your phone instead of just relaxing. If you are too busy with your devices you cannot enjoy the wonders of nature.

My claim is we showed not let let them because. You go there to see the wildlife not to play games on your devises. You could scare the animals and they will run away and ruin someone else looking at them. I say no because the people go there for quite.

No,visitors should bring phones because its a one day trip you don't go to Yosemite National Park every day.If you want to take pictures there is a camera not only phones also if you need a emergency phone call you can ask the people who work there so they could give you their phone.you don't need your phone to download apps if you ask the volunteers they could give you a guide or map.

I didnt think about asking a guide. but what if you lose the map? are you going to go all the way back just to get another map? Your claim is confusing. your claim says people should bring cell phones and your evidence says they should not. And camera is a kind of technology so you your evidence says that no technology so..

I think cell phones should be allowed. Kylie said that cell phones bring back memories. Without a cell phone how are you going to take pictures to remember and share with your friends? And if there is a emergency how are you going to call 911 or someone else? Also kylie said apps can help you with your stay. What if there is a animal app and you dont have your cell phone and you go near a poisonus animal without knowing it was dangerous. Cell phones also have apps that can tell you interesting facts about the place and places to go. My evidence makes sense to my claim

Akanksha I politely disagree with your cell phone evidence there are also cameras to take pictures and if you lose your phone then you wont remember but if you use a camera you can sink it to your computer.

No, I don't think cell phones should be allowed because Yellowstone National Park was created for people to have fun and to learn about animals. It's a time off to have an unforgettable journey around the park then playing on technology. My evidence make sense because do you want to learn about animals or not.

yes because people will want to hang on to family memories when they grow old.cameras could get lost or broken.also,someone could post a comment on facebook or twitter and then someone could read it then more people will go to the national park.plus some people have security cameras at home to look out for robbers.

Cell phones shouldn't be allowed in national parks. National parks are ment for nature, and to just look at the beautiful wild life and take a break of modern technology and do things differently. It is always annoying the many times people are talking in their cell phone and I think they might be talking to me, but really they're talking on their cell phone.

I think that Yosemite national park should not allow cell phones . There is no need for cell phones .The only reasons for cell phones is pictures and an emergency .You don't need to use a cell phone to take pictures, you could use camera. In case of an emergency you don't need a phone to call for help, there are security guards to protect you.Why let cell phones bother your trip.there should be no cell phones allowed in Yosemite national park

No, because cell phones are very expensive and you could lose it and if you drop it in the grass, an animal could find it because it is so colorful and it might be dangerous to that animal, killing it. If you dropped it in a lake, the electric currents would of killed all of the fish. If you tried to get it out of there, you would get shocked too.It is a loss for you and the animals. Also, a national park is meant to see the sights, not to bring out your phone every single second.You are supposed to relax, not using a phone to take pictures every time you see something cool. Also, if you use flash photography, it will not matter anyway.

i think that phones should not be allowed at national parks because the point is to see the sights not play Flappy Bird or watch youtube videos. Also it will only be one or two days without a phone and the rest of the time you can play Flappy birds.On the car ride back home you can think about the wonderful sights you saw and the beautiful animals.I know that phones can get addicting after a while that is why you should put your phone away and enjoy the sights.Maybe someone would be screaming at the top of their lungs at you and you want to hang up.

YES! Phones should be aloud in national parks. What makes me say that is because you because you back can bring back memories on your phone by taking pictures. Also another reason why it should be permitted is because if there is an emergency , how are you going to get help?Also in my knowledge I know that if a family splits into 2 groups , how are they going to find the rest of the family?By phone right?

You should not bring phones to National Parks.The main idea to go to a National Park is usually to see the views and animals, but if you bring a phone it will bother the animals.phones can make cute or loud sounds in games, it will also bother the animals if you call someone in the park. My second evidence is you might bring phones to take pictures, but I still think that it would be even better to take notes, or if you like drawing you can draw a quick sketch . After you draw your sketch you can draw a full drawing . My last evidence is you disturb others in the park who came to see views and animals. If you text and call others it will really disturb others in the park.

yes.National parks should allow people to use their PHONES during their visit because what if there is an emergency.Who are you supposed to call if you don't have a phone?also how are one of your precious moments gonna come back with you?Its just not gonna grow feet and and walk,fly,or drive with you.You have to take pictures to share with friends,print and save,or print and frame.Also what if someone called because there was an emergency back home?Are you just supposed to know right away in your head?NO!Also what if you don't have a tour guide and your lost,you can just use your phone to find your way!My evidence makes sense because what if this was something your in an Yellowstone aren't you gonna want your phone? YES!

I think that cell phones should not be allowed in national parks. What Evan said was you you came to see beautiful views not to play on phones. I think he is right. What he also said was you don't want to disturb a person by yelling into a phone.One wrong thing Kylie is about emergencies. Suppose a person got lost and he/she doesn't have a phone that means he is underaged so that means he shouldn't be running around in the first place
