At present mobile phones have become ingrained in our everyday lives and the majority of people can hardly imagine themselves without cell phones. Is it just a tribute to fashion or a necessity of a modern person?

It isn’t a secret that today many people feel quite helpless if they have leaft their mobile phones at home. First of all cell phones give us an opportunity to keep in touch with people in any place and in any time (it’s especially important for businesspeople). Besides, modern mobile phones are multi-function: they provide access to the Internet, have various games, cameras, memory sticks, etc.We are becoming more and more dependant on mobile phones as these small and sleek devices are multi-functional gadgets that help in our day-to-day tasks.

Nevertheless we can’t deny that mobile phones provoke a range of problems. People have started to see each other less frequently. Mobile communication requires quite a lot of money and people have to control the amount of money on their accounts constantly otherwise at the most inappropriate moment they won’t be able to phone the people they need. But the greatest disadvantage of cell phones is certainly their harmful influence on people’s health.

In my opinion at the present time mobile phones are an integral part of life of any person and we can’t stop it. I personally need it everyday for my work and to keep in touch with my friends and relatives, though I’m aware of its deleterious influence on my health. But I try to avoid idle talks on the phone to reduce the influence of harmful radio waves. I try to find the happy mean.

   Life without a mobile phone is like living without eyebrows…you don’t really need it, but it does improve your image if you have it. Actually, I find that other features are harder to live without. But not having a mobile phone today gets you thrown back into the “cave person” category. People nowadays don’t even ask if you have a mobile phone ,they just get down to asking your number and give you this strange look of disgust coupled with astonishment if you tell them you don’t have one. I guess it’s good to have a mobile phone in a way that we become more sociable and we have things, which can be done at the touch of a button, but have we spared a thought of what would happen to the world if all the mobile networks were down for one whole hour???
