Ownership of mobile phones has risen dramatically in recent years despite the potentially harmful effects they may have on health and the society. Governments should introduce measures to restrict ownership of mobile phones to those who need them for work. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Nowadays, it is hard to imagine living without a mobile
phone
, almost everyone has it, even children. It can be quite disturbing considering that the effects
they may have, aren’t well researched yet. Therefore
, it has been discussed if governments should put any restrictions on their usage and allow phones
only for work purposes.
First
of all, it has to be pointed out, that mobile phones
have harmful effects
not only on our health but also
on society in general. According to the statistics, phones
are the number one cause of incidents. It is either the driver or the pedestrian who is mindlessly using their phone
while being
on the road or crossing the street. It is easy to forget and lose oneself in the online world. Another health-related concern is that Unnecessary verb

, there are many situations where having a phone
might be life-saving as well. For example

is usually the only way to contact someone and get quick help. Also
, thanks to smartphones, we are able to stay in touch with people
around the world and maintain connections. Its positive effects
could have been observed during the COVID-pandemic in which time it immensely helped so many people

Therefore
, I believe that putting any governmental limitations on phones
isn’t a solution. Instead
, we should rather educate people

of their mobile devices. Only this
