The advantages and disadvantages of the mobile phone.

Mobile communication has become one of the most striking phenomena of the XXI century. It’s very convenient to have a mobile phone as you can keep in touch with your relatives and friends wherever you are. In case of emergency you can also call the fire-brigade or the ambulance. A smart phone is like a mini-computer in your pocket: it not only provides access to the Internet, but performs hundreds of other operations. It plays music and videos, has games and a navigation system and what not. So I think that mobile phones are surely the future of technology.

However, mobile phones have become more important to some young people, than schoolwork, following dress codes and writing thank-you notes. They would rather talk on the phone than meet face to face and have an interesting conversation or a discussion with their peers. Scientists and doctors feel deeply concerned about the influence of mobile phones on children’s health. There have been claims that mobile phones can cause memory loss, and even cancer. It hasn’t been proved yet, but it has been discovered that mobile addicts can be seriously affected psychologically. These effects can’t be explained yet, but when I see little schoolchildren playing games on their phones during the break I don’t think it’s good for their health.

Computers

Computers have made a big difference to how children spend their leisure time. Before computers they might have read books or played imaginary games with their friends like cowboys and Indians. Now, they’d prefer to play computer games which they find more exciting

I think computers are great. They have made people’s lives easier and revolutionized the workplace. Any kind of information is more accessible and at the touch of a button you can find something out that before might have taken hours

Computers

It’s becoming useful to be ‘computer-literate ‘ nowadays. It has become an absolute necessity. Although I do not get pleased out of sitting in front of a computer screen for hours, I don’t stand the chance of getting a good job without computer skills.

The Internet is a computer system that allows millions of people around the world to receive and exchange information about almost anything. It allows people to send messages to each other quickly and cheaply. Information available at home via the Internet is infinite

Using a computer is a quick and easy way to do my homework. Instead of having to draw pictures I can get them on a computer and just add them to whatever I need to illustrate. So it saves a lot of time. My computer has an internet connection which gives me access to all sorts of information. I can also use the encyclopedia and dictionary that are on the computer.

Using e-mail is very convenient for communicating with my friends. I can send out information about myself, and not only information but also some pictures. Lastly my computer has a lot of games which I can play after I have done my homework

Mobile phones.

In our mobile era we tend to use ordinary phones less and less. Mobile communication has become one of the most striking phenomena of the XXI century as it has nearly replaced all live communication. It’s very convenient to have a mobile phone as you can keep in touch with your relatives and friends wherever you are In case of emergency you can also call the fire-brigade or the ambulance. A smart phone is like a mini-computer in you pocket: it not only provides access to the Internet, but performs hundreds of other operations.

But sometimes people shout when they are on their mobiles. They seem to believe that the rest of the world is interested in their business. Many users forget that they are in public places and that others may be offended by the volume and content of their calls.

There have been claims that mobile phones can cause memory loss, and even cancer But scholars who are trying to prove or disprove these theories have found that there’s no evidence that mobiles cause cancer, yet it has been discovered that cell phone emissions have a variety of strange effect on our bodies. These effects can be explained yet, but when I see little schoolchildren playing games on their phones during the break I don’t think it’s good for their health.

Mass Media

The impression about human beings is pretty depressing. They often report crimes, violations of human rights and the way we are destroying our natural resources. There is a lot of gossip about celebrities.

TV has a harmful influence on children’s educational and emotional development, after long periods of watching TV, children tend to become absent-minded and forgetful, besides many TV programs are unsuitable for children

Having attractive appearance is not enough o become a successful TV personality. A certain level of intelligence and education is essential too.
