Mobile phones are considered essential by most people nowadays. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones

There has been a controversy about whether mobile

phones

are advantageous to our

life

. I think mobile

phones

have some merits and demerits; my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.

First

, it brings convenience to our

life

. Take China as an example. Due to e-commerce, mobile

phones

have become closely linked with people's daily

life

; we can do hundreds and thousands of things through mobile

phones

,

such

as paying bills with

phones

rather than cash or cards. When I was in China, I barely used cash; I always paid bills with my phone. At

this

point, mobile

phones

make our

life

more convenient. It's worth mentioning that on account of the multi-functions of

smartphones

, our natural resources are indirectly saved.

For instance

, people tend to read news on their

phones

instead

of newspapers;

thus

, the wood resources can be saved.

Second

,

smartphones

create more job opportunities. There are a large number of new jobs that are related to the

internet

, like Youtuber or Instagram influencer. As we know, due to the advent of mobile

phones

, we can use the

internet

easier.

Therefore

, phone users can use their

phones

to interact with

internet

workers, and those workers can gain more attention through

smartphones

. It can be said that

smartphones

and

internet

workers are interdependent.

On the other hand

, mobile

phones

have some disadvantages.

For instance

, they can adversely affect our eyesight. According to some statistical figures, there is a growth in the global myopic rate, and

smartphones

are considered one of the main causes that bring about

this

phenomenon. In conclusion, mobile

phones

are a double-edged sword, and how to use them depends on the individual entirely.
