To begin with, the benefits of mobile phones cannot be denied. The main important and evident advantage of mobile phone is the fact that at the push of a few buttons we can instantly communicate with almost anyone anywhere else in the world. Being a small and easy to use device, cell phones can be taken with us everywhere we go.
In addition, many of mobile phone models feature FM receivers and the user can just turn on the music to be calmed while traveling or driving. And if you like videos and games, mobiles have them, too. They also feature cameras, making it easier to capture crucial moments. This technology enables mobile phone users to access the Internet.
One of the most remarkable values of mobile phones is during emergencies, may it big or small. We never know when we or our loved ones may need to make an emergency phone call. In situations when finding public phone is difficult, mobiles are the answer to your need. These devices are also very functional for businesspeople and trading companies because they can easily get in touch with their clients.
Despite all of this, cell phones have also had a negative impact in our lives as well. They have been found to be annoying, distracting, and dangerous. Many car accidents have been connected to cell phone usage. People are talking, dialing, and text messaging and are forgetting to concern with things that they really have to do in that moment like being with the eyes on the road or listening their teacher.
In some extreme cases, the mobile phones affect relationships with people, because it is alienating for people and their acquaintances. Women and men in couples might feel pulled apart by their partners who love to be on the phone and have a chat once in a while; just, sometimes, this “while” might last hours. Children might feel abandoned by their parents who might find more interesting and less stressing having a talk on the phone than staying with their kids, playing with them, explaining them things.
Furthermore, mobiles have been told to be the cause of diseases related to the radio waves they emanate: these illnesses are in many cases fatal and incurable. Many scientific studies have proved that the more YOU ARE on the phone the likelier it is that you are going to contract a disease related to the warming up of the part of the body exposed to the waves, that is the head.
All things considered, it seems to me that mobiles are of great use for our society, where we need to exchange information faster day by day and where keeping in touch with others is vital for all of us. A wiser USE of these precious devices might solve many problems without having to get rid of our “friend”, even though keeping it switched off, sometimes, might make our lives more interesting, for us and for others.
