Opinions are divided on whether

should be strictly prohibited in public spaces
such

as libraries, shops or public transport. I believe that
such

a ban would be problematic and that there are conferred benefits from allowing
people

to
use

their
phones
Use synonyms
in these settings. Granted, one might argue that
phones

should not be allowed in public areas because the

could annoy other

. A good example is that the sound of someone talking on the phone or their notifications could distract

However

this

problem could be resolved without prohibiting the

of

completely in public spaces. A straightforward measure would be to ask
people

to switch off the ringtones, turn on the vibration mode and answer their

to avoid annoying other

. To add

credence to my assertion, I note that it would

be difficult to enforce a ban on

in public places.
This

is because it would require an unimaginable amount of manpower to make it work: it would be unthinkable to have a police officer on each bus journey or in each shop and library to enforceth e said law. Perhaps the most frequently cited reason for using
phones
Use synonyms
in public is that phone users can quickly contact their friends or family or the police in emergency cases. In conclusion, banning
phones

in public areas would neither be necessary nor plausible.
Instead
