Ownership of mobile phones has risen dramatically in the recent years despite the potentially harmful effects they may have on our health and society. Governments should introduce measures to restrict ownership of mobile phones to those who need them for their work. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the

last

few decades, we have observed that there has been an exponential increase in different types of cellular devices, varying between low to high priced ones.

This

has led to an increase in the number of users of mobile

phones

as anyone can own them. Due to the easy access of

this

gadget, it has started harming

people

’s health and have an adverse impact on society. Some

people

think that restricting the ownership of mobile

phones

based on necessity should be put in action to reduce the harmful effects. But will

this

help? There are two sides to a coin.

Likewise

, there are different arguments from

people

who differ in their opinions. Many

people

like to own mobiles as they

use

them regularly for their work and for their personal

use

. Right from waking up using an alarm, travelling to the office, ordering meals, teaching their children, booking a dinner table with family, going to bed and playing soft meditation music is done using a mobile phone which makes

people

’s life easier.

However

, over usage of any technology has its own consequences. For the one who relies on every small task on their mobile

phones

, they become addicted to its usage. The necessary screen time they spend on their work desktops versus the time spent looking at the phone screen is not balanced by

people

.

As a result

, it leads to health problems and increases the stress level. The excess

use

of

phones

leads to eye pain, frequent headaches, lack of sleep, etc., which in turn deteriorates an individual's well-being from a young age.

For instance

, using any cellular devices before going to bed can disrupt sleep due to the emission of harmful rays. To sum up, I believe that there should be some restrictions imposed on the ownership of mobile

phones

by age group that would probably help children or youngsters to live a healthy life until the point they go for their higher studies or start working.

However

, as adults can help to plan things for their children and manage multiple things, they should have the right to

use

mobile

phones

, but they should

also

consider the impact of its excessive usage on their fitness too.
