 As everyone knows we are surrounded by the new technology called Cell
 Phones. Everywhere you look there is someone talking, playing a game,
 paying a bill or browsing the internet with their cell phones. Even
 children are well acquainted with tools and amenities of the object. Due
 to so many facilities provided by mobile phones nowadays, the abundant
 part of users becomes sightless about the history, the effects in the
 future and diseases it might cause in our health.


 The purpose of this research paper is to present how the mobile phones
 have affected people’s lives and the future use of them. First, this
 research will reveal how the mobile phone emerged and who pioneered the
 idea.

 A prosper professional from the company Motorola, the electrical
 engineering Martin Cooper in 1973 created the first portable handheld
 which were used by the police of Chicago and soon integrated in every
 Police Department in United States. After that incredible first step he
 had the idea of wireless devices which were selected, very heavy and very
 unpopular, perhaps because of the dull technology they possessed back
 then.

 Positive Effects Of Mobile Phone Use In Our Society And Environment

 Mobile phones, the proof of our technological advancements. Mobiles phones
 have become part of our daily lives, it is impossible to carry out our
 everyday chores without our phones. From communication to entertainment,
 what can this gadget not do? If we were to enlist the positive effects of
 mobile phones, they would be as follows:

 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 blockbusters to the news
 highlights of your country, your mobile holds all these. No longer do we
 have to wait for our favorite 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.

  Negative Effects Of Mobile Phones On Our Lives

 Yes, we have to admit that life without a mobile phone is impossible. But
 no matter how useful they might be, we cannot ignore the underlying
 negative effects they carry with them. Some of them are as follows:

 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.  According to Flurry,
 the average American adult spends over 5 hours a day on mobile phones,
 around 150 hours a month.

 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.

 4: Distraction: People cannot exclude the fact that mobile phones are a
 huge distraction. You often might make up your mind to just “check” up on
 updates and instead find yourself surfing the internet for hours on end
 without realizing it. The reason is the distractions it holds. Students
 especially have to go through the ordeal of giving their phones to their
 parents just so they may focus on their studies.

 So although mobile phones have made our lives easier they also have a
 negative effect on us. The conclusion is that we may not be able to live
 without phones but we can take steps to reduce the negative effects. For
 example, one might reduce the time he spends on his phone. One should try
 to communicate face to face whenever possible instead of relying on his
 phone for every small task. In this way, we can focus on the positive and
 reduce the negative.


 In this way it has become  a curse to our society ...
