I think every person today has a mobile phone, even little children do. For many people it is a necessary thing for everyday life. Moreover their whole life is in their mobile phone.
As for me I can’t imagine my life without a telephone now. Lately mobile phones have become not only a thing which is used to call people but a lot more. Mobiles have taken the place of computers and laptops.
A person can check emails, search for information thanks to the internet connection on mobile phones. We can also listen to music, watch films, videos, read books and chat to our friends with the help of mobiles. It also helps us to stay in touch with people who are far away and with whom we can’t meet for some reasons. It seems nothing can be better than having everything in just one little gadget.
In fact not everything is so wonderful as it seems at the first sight. Just look at people around — they are obviously addicted to their mobiles like to drugs. Every second you see a person staring at his telephone screen. Children are playing games and applications in their mobiles instead of playing football or walking with friends. People forget what it is like to communicate face to face, they only chat to people online. Moreover using mobile phones very often is dangerous because of radiation we get.
I think mobile phones are very useful in people’s life, but we need to find a balance between mobile and face to face communication.
