The increase in mobile phone use in recent years has transformed the way we live, communicate and do business. Mobile phones can also be the cause of social or medical problems. What forms do these problems take? Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of mobile phones?

Technological advances in Communications sector are increasing at a rapid pace. When compared to the simpler

letters, postcards, telegrams and inland letters today's means of communication are more complex. Through the illustrations in

outweigh the disadvantages of social and medical problems.

Also

, I will be mentioning few measures the public can take to mitigate the disadvantages. The huge advantage of having a mobile phone is it is possible to connect with family and friends in an

For Instance

, when I travel or go out in the city, it is easier for my family to know where I am at any given moment and reach out to me for something as simple as an errand or

share

news or track my whereabouts for safety reasons through services like

instant

messaging and sharing live location. It is easier for me

also

to reach out to them for

of the year the activities were conducted through mobile phones and emails. Along with making the world a smaller place to live in, there are other advantages too of using mobile phones, we no longer have to sit at our desk to do our jobs. High speed internet and cloud technologies have made it easier for me to access and

information. There are applications

supporting applications. It is the ease at which we are able to create, access and

the information in real time forms the root cause of social problems. The parents give children the mobile phones for children's safety and their peace of mind.

Instead

the children spend time playing games on it. Here the parents can keep

their children. The youth is gripped by the concept of

public and get addicted to the virtual world. Even grown ups and some population of senior citizens find it fascinating to use mobile phones for

instant

messaging platforms and

share

every real or fake item of news with their contacts. It is the

addicition

being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs)

addiction

and constant use of the devices which keeps people in close contact with the harmful radiations emitted from them making people ill. The glare from the devises cause eye problems and

something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness

headaches

. For the youth and adults, who cannot be governed, they have to take it upon themselves to curb the addiction of virtual world and start living in the reality. In conclusion, I would like to say that family' s concern for their family member's safety is important and a

business man

a person engaged in commercial or industrial business (especially an owner or executive)

businessman

has to adapt to the changing times to survive and thrive in the market.

Therefore

the technology has made it easy for people to stay in touch and work from the comfort of their homes. By implementing the mitigating strategies for

, the social and medical problems can be controlled and curbed to a large extent, while still being able to see your family and friends who are far away through a video call.
