Mobile phones

Mobile phones help us communicate, drive up mad when it rings too often, make us happy when we are expecting a good news and it usually turns us into addicts.

Mobile phone
Pro: 
  • mobile phones are part of our lives - when we meet someone new, we usually ask for his/her cell phone number
  • they are easy to use
  • away from home, we don't have to search for a public telephone to make a phone call
  • we are always in contact with friends, family and colleagues from work, even when we are out of country
  • we can use it to send and receive text messages, send greetings and MMS
  • advanced mobile phones help us get information like news, flight timings
  • some mobile phones allow us to use the Internet, check the email, visit websites
  • mobile phones with camera are a very handy substitute for a camera
  • iPhone and latest PDA’s are not just mobile phones, they are Mobile Offices
  • cell phones have features like calendars, contacts, task and reminders
  • some mobile phones let us use remote desktops
  • mobile phones with GPRS or EDGE or 3G internet are used to connect laptops to internet
  • bluetooth and infrared features make file transfers very easy
Con: 
  • we can't use the excuse "I'm out of the office" when there are problems at work
  • we are always "on call" - people can find us even when we don't want to be found
  • we lose our privacy and our right to be free from the daily routine work
  • cell phones are small and sometimes we can't find them unless they ring (ladies with big, full handbags know best)
  • the use of mobile phones over a long period of time is bad for health, especially if used before sleep
  • even if the radio waves given off by mobiles are not powerful enough, they can heat up body tissue
  • although magnetic fields created by mobile phones are incredibly small, they could affect the way our body cells work
  • some people who spend time on long mobile phone calls complain of fatigue, headaches and loss of concentration
  • some research show that mobile phones users are 2.5 times more likely to develop cancer in areas of the brain adjacent to their phone ears
  • cell phones represent a higher risk for small children than for full-grown persons
