God made technology predestined
for mankind in 20th century as a supporting facilitation rather than a drifting
element and there have been numerous advancements to help us in our everyday
lives. The utilization of mobile phones is so prevalent an as we live in a
consumption society, we like to spend more without considering the
disadvantages. However, do we realize that cellphones are the most annoying,
unnecessary and time wasting device of the last fifty years?
Most find people it cool and sophisticated to carry mobile phones along but they
are no doubt, annoying. For instance, you are fully engrossed in a movie and all
out of a sudden your cellphone rings like thunder, breaking the tempo. Similar
is the case when you are attending an important meeting or a class and are
interrupted by a cell’s ring! As far as calls are concerned, there are a number
of payphones available that only charge a few rupees for a local call. This
benefits both, the caller being provided with cheap communication while the shop
owner earns a living. Moreover there are a variety of wireless phones available
running on the same technology as cellphones.
Many people believe that cellphones help us to keep in contact with friends and
family, thus building strong bonds. However, in reality, it creates distances
between people as you can easily talk to others without any need to meet them.
Mobile phones also have music, video/audio player, android applications built in
them, although these things are entertaining, they are a way of wasting time and
often result in cell addiction among the users. People are indulged in long
conversations or texting over their phones, in turn wasting time which could
have been utilized positively as on studies. Mobile phones also have built in
cameras which have recently resulted in selfie addiction making people more
prone towards narcotics, as discovered by researchers. The same function can be
done with latest digital cameras with much better results and features.
This implies that a mobile phone is just an ostentatious device that possesses
diverse functions that are not of our use. Furthermore, they transmit
electromagnetic radiation that can cause cancer while people carry them so close
to their bodies. As a result researchers have proved it harmful for health. In
addition to this many people die every day in car accidents simply because they
use cell phones while driving. According to research cellphones put drivers at
four time’s greater risk of crash. Despite the danger, people think that
answering a call is more important than safety!
To conclude, mobile phones destroy the tranquility and peace we are blessed
with. Their increasing popularity means more drawbacks are to be discovered and
more people are to become useless!
