Anybody can use a mobile phone to answer the work or personal calls at any time or 7 days a week. Does this development have more positive or negative effects on both individuals and society?

In today’s digital era, while cell

phones

have proven to be a blessing for some individuals with regards to their usage in answering professional or intimate phone calls at all times, others, including me, considers

this

practice having more negative impacts than the benefits.

This

essay will discuss some disadvantages

such

as their effect on human relations and an increase in stress levels and a few advantages like time-efficient. Starting with, the most significant disadvantage of mobile

phones

in terms of the ease with which they can be utilised to answer private as well as work calls is directly related to human relationships. Choosing phone calls,as a way to respond to people, leave individuals with weak private as well as professional bonds. To exemplify, according to a recent study, the society for whom the preferred mode of

communication

is mobile

phones

are highly likely to lose insight on how to deal with other human beings in coming years.

Furthermore

, there is a rise in the

number

of stress levels that an average person can handle. According to a recent study, couples spending more time on

phones

answering calls have shown rising levels of stress which in turn is resulting in an increased

number

of fights, leading to a higher

number

of divorces per year.

However

, using cell

phones

has proven to be advantageous in situations where direct

communication

seems to be impossible.

For instance

, during the COVID outbreak times, in order to keep face-to-face interaction at a minimum, individuals were choosing more digital modes of

communication

. So, in those particular ,situations mobile

phones

were bliss.

In addition

, it saves time for people who are preoccupied with other tasks, as they can handle a

number

of problems by just responding via mobile. But, despite

this

, considering

phones

as the only source of

communication

is not an appropriate option. In conclusion,

although

utilising mobile

phones

for their time efficiency benefit and for communications where direct interactions are not possible, answering all types of calls gives birth to various tensions and weakens human relations.
