Mobile Phones: Good or Bad?

Everywhere you go nowadays, you see people using mobile phones. From school
children to the people, you see them talking in the supermarket, on trains, in the street,
everywhere!
So what are the advantages of mobile phones?
First of all, they are very convenient because you can phone from nearly anywhere.
Another advantage is that they are really useful in emergency situations. For example, if you are
alone in your car and it breaks down, you can get help quickly. In addition, you can also use your
mobile to text your friends or connect to the Net.
However, there are disadvantages such as the cost. Mobile phone calls cost more than
normal calls. Furthermore, it can be annoying if you are on a train or a bus and you have to listen
to someone else's boring conversation. Finally, people can contact you anywhere, at any time,
unless you switch your phone off!
In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I feel mobile
phones are agood thing because they give us more freedom and make communication easier.
