AN ESSAY - What are the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones? Mobile phones have changed people’s lives so dramatically and become so common that discussing their advantages and disadvantages might seem to be a nonsense. Most of us cannot imagine our life without using our smartphones. Nevertheless, because of their significant influence, mobile phones should be used very carefully. Everyone would agree that the most obvious advantage of using mobile phone is the great possibility of connection. It is really convenient that we are able to have a conversation with everyone whenever we want. Furthermore, we can give some important information to anybody extremely quickly by using messages. On the other hand, the major drawback is also connected with this possibility. Since I always have my mobile phone with me, I don’t only have the opportunity to call someone - I also have to answer everyone. No doubt, it can irritate me because I have to interrupt my current activity. However, I take the view, that we can reduce this inconvenience by using some simple rules. There is another aspect of this argument. I mean access to the Internet, which we always have due to our smartphones. But I believe that it is a completely different question. To sum up, mobile phones can really make us less self-organised, but it is seem to me that humans will probably establish some helpful telephoning habits. In this case we will not suffer from disadvantages of mobile phones.
