Hello everyone! My name is Pov Vicheka. I am a beginner student at CamWisdom
International School, TPR branch. Today I am very delighted and honored to share my
personal perspective and knowledge on the topic “Advantages and Disadvantages of
Smartphones.".
Right now, let me give a brief definition of a smartphone to all of you first. A smartphone is a
portable device that combines the functions of a mobile phone and a personal computer. It
can make and receive calls, access the internet, run various apps, and perform other tasks as
well. Using a smartphone is very popular and convenient. Smart phones offer many usages
to people and also provide some worst-case usages to humans. In this part, I will tell you
guys about a few advantages and disadvantages of smartphones. Actually, there are many of
them, but I try to choose only the important parts to share with you guys.
There are three advantages to using a smartphone. The first is that they make
communication easier and cheaper. We can contact anyone, anywhere, anytime, with voice
calls, video calls, or text messages to our favorite people around the world. It does not take a
long time to communicate with people, even though we live in different places. The second
is that they provide fast access to the internet. We can search for information, watch videos,
listen to music, play games, and use many apps on our mobile phones. We can have fun and
enjoy a great time with those tools. The last one is that they enhance our safety and
security. We can use them to contact emergency services, locate our position, track our
health, and protect our privacy as well.
Next, I will move on to the disadvantages of smartphones. There are two points that I am
going to make about it. The first is that they can be a distraction and a waste of time. We can
spend too much time on our mobile phones and neglect our studies, work, or other
responsibilities. We can also get addicted to them and experience stress, anxiety, or
depression. It might affect our mental health if we overuse our smartphones. The second
point is that they can affect our health and well-being. We can suffer from eye strain,
headaches, neck pain, or sleep problems due to excessive use of our mobile phones. We can
also be exposed to radiation, germs, or accidents caused by our mobile phones.
Finally, smartphones can be both good and bad friends if we do not know the right way to
control them. You need to be aware of using them; do not let yourself be controlled by
them. Therefore, I hope my speech will integrate all of your understanding of the advantages
and disadvantages of smartphones more than before. I believe that this video can be
beneficial information for you guys. Thank you!
