Hello everyone. Today you must be a bit agitated by reading the topic. This topic is based on “TRUE EVENTS”, so please read till the end. And today’s thought of the day- “If you want something you never had, you have to do something that you have never did.” So let us get started….

Mobile phones, nowadays a necessity for humans. Everything in our daily lives is depending on phones or in a nutshell, our lives are becoming virtually interactive or attractive and not physically. We can’t attend meetings or calls or even message our friends without internet. In this Corona time, at my perspective, our lives are becoming wholly digital, which is just not worth it…Well, let’s focus on some good sides of mobile phones-

1: Communication: The very basic root of human colonization, communication. Nowadays mobile phones have the ability to connect people from all over the world, no matter where they may be. Not only that, they are easy to carry and accessible, communication has never been easier. Social media apps also play a huge role in communication allowing us to talk to our loved ones daily.

2: Entertainment: From the latest Hollywood or Bollywood blockbusters to the news highlights of your country, your mobile holds all these. No longer do we have to wait for our favourite TV show or news highlights, with one touch on your screen and get access to whatever you wish to see, hence, saving time. Mobile phones also act as gaming platforms for people looking for some relaxation or just to pass time.

3: Daily Utilities: Apart from entertainment and communication, mobile phones now have apps that help us to perform the same everyday chores without facing any hassle. From paying bills, booking cabs and hotels, to online maps for navigation purposes, capturing our memorable moments by built-in cameras. Mobile phones are doing it all.

4: Organization: Modern man is too caught up to keep track of everything, mobile phones help us to remain organized. You can store important documents and notes, memos, etc. send emails. Calendars and stopwatches are basic tools found in all mobile phones.

Even mobile phones help us to attend classes through online meeting platforms such as – Google Classroom, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams etc.

Now, let’s too focus on the “needs improvement side” or the bad one-

1:Addiction: Yes, mobile phone addiction is a thing. Nomophobia is a proposed name for the phobia of being out of cell phone contact. 50% of teens admit to being addicted to their phones. Studies show that people addicted to mobile phones often are linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.

2: Waste of time: The average person checks his phone once every 12 minutes, leading to 80 times a day. Most of the time people just check their phones for no good reason. Even when not using their phones, you might often see people fidgeting with their phones. 

3: Cause of Depression: As discussed before, mobile phones may lead to depression, especially among teens. With the rage of social media, teenagers are becoming obsessed with “likes” on their personal posts and accounts. Moreover, reduced daily life interactions lead to loneliness and anxiety. 

I reckon, that now you must be aware of both good and bad sides of mobile phones. Well, honestly I like them too but only for a bit entertainment, news, studies, and hotspot.

I have seen IT Engineers lecturing to people that in the coming future, there will be no need for physical work or need of workers in industries as the AI (Artificial Intelligence) will take over everything. So, my whole article concludes that Mobile phones are both good and bad and about the digital era that would take over the humans very soon.
