Is cellphones a bless or a curse Mobile phones, the smart ones particularly, have become part of our lives. Although there are downsides associated with the misuse of cellphones, I believe in general they provide us much more benefits. Admittedly, cellphones have brought people troubles. It is not rare to see students engaged in their cellphones, sending Twitter updates, glancing over Facebook or chatting via WhatsApp, without paying attention to teacher’s lecturing, which poses a threat to their studies. In the meantime, the updating of cellphones periodically has led some families to the verge of bankrupt, let alone the booming cellphone game industry which is built on irrational consumptions. Moreover, cellphones have alienated people from face-to-face communications, because people would rather choose to send a message or make a phone call than dropping a visit, just for convenience. Nevertheless, cellphones by itself is a bless rather than a curse. Actually most people have benefitted from cellphones by using it in a positive way. By posting their updates or “moments” in their spare time, people not only keep their precious memories, but also build meaningful and colorful connections with their net friends around the world. Also, tons of applications, such as the fitness apps and language learning apps, are providing the best day-to-day services to help people improve themselves. In fact, even some of the games are so thoughtfully designed that can challenge people’s minds and give them a break for relaxation from arduous working lives. In conclusion, I advocate that although every coin has two sides and this applies to cellphones as well, people apparently benefit more from using them, because after all, cellphones are just tools and it is the overwhelming desire of human beings to develop themselves that push people to utilize mobile phones for good.
