They are an indispensable part of our daily lives. If we look at our society we can see that all kinds of people are using mobile phones. Maybe they have many advantages, but they also experience drawbacks.The main advantage of mobile phones is that people can use them any time and any where, so they can use one for an emergency. In addition, people can access the Internet whenever they use the mobile phones, so business people can use them at work to get information from the Internet more conveniently. Moreover; it is very easy to send messages to your friends by using mobile phones, which can make people keep intimacy in spite of long distance. So they are turning the world into a small village where we can communicate with each other easily and simply.On the other hand, there are some drawbacks, too. Firstly, the most important disadvantage is the unknown effects on health in case of over-use. Scientists found that mobile phones can cause brain cancer if you talk for too long, you are going to have a headache and ear problems. Secondly; the inappropriate use of mobile phones could be bothersome. For example, it is very disturbing to hear a mobile phone ringing during a formal conversation, during a lesson,in a library or in a cinema. Finally, mobile phones waste people too much time. A survey shows that teenagers spend 2 hours on average using mobile phones every day.In conclusion, there are some benefits and drawbacks to mobile phones.
