Over recent years, mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in our daily lives. However, there are several problems such as social and medical which must not be ignored. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones.

The rapid evolution of mobile

phones

in recent years is overwhelming, the

use

of these is now, almost indispensable.

However

, even though the

use

of

smartphones

has enormous advantages, it brings some drawbacks as well. In

this

essay, both sides of the discussion will be addressed and analysed. On the bright side, the incredible evolution of high-tech, including

phones

, has transformed our lives. Nowadays, just with one simple device, it is possible to replace a number of tools

such

as calculators, FM radios and even, computers.

Moreover

, it is clear that the

use

of

smartphones

has made easier communication among

people

, fifty years ago it was almost impossible to make contact if someone went abroad for study or work, now, all

that is

needed is a phone with an Internet connection. Having said that, it is undeniable that mobile

phones

bring rather big benefits. On the flip side, all the tools available in a mobile phone might get

people

addicted to it, year by year the hours per day invested looking at the phone's screen have been increasing dramatically.

This

tendency is especially worrying in the youngest, it is not uncommon to see how parents allow their children to play with

smartphones

as a way to keep them entertained.

This

aforementioned disadvantage comes attached to social distancing,

this

behaviour can be seen everywhere,

in other words

, right now is more usual to see

people

looking at their screens rather than other

people

's faces.

Besides

, there is some research about the negative effects of the microwaves emitted by

smartphones

, it has been said that these might affect health, especially the heart and brain. To conclude, the

use

of mobile

phones

has multiple advantages as it has made life easier in many ways, like in communication.

On the other hand

, the excessive

use

of these devices might have negative effects on both physical and social health. It is advisable to

use

them in a responsible way to get the most from them and not having negative consequences.
