Advantages of cell phone for college

students

College students have many reasons to consider using a cell phones, since cell phones

are one of the most versatile electronics on the markets. Besides the obvious communication advantages, newer cell phones have features, such as cameras and internet access, that can help college students with all aspects of their college experience, from their studies to their

social lives.

Disadvantages of mobile phone

Cost-With monthly costs starting at $40 for voice service, as of 2009, cell phone use is expensive. Added to that are the costs of the hardware, text messaging, roaming, and downloading. 

Distraction-Cell phones can ring in the middle of movies, music concerts, plays and other areas where silence is required, such as libraries, bookstores and hospital rooms. This happens despite signs and verbal requests. In addition, the glow of cell phone screens from text messages can annoy and distract people in the darkness of a theater.

Driving-Cell phone use while operating a vehicle has caused so many accidents that five states had banned calls and 12 had prohibited text messaging, as of 2009.

Lack of Privacy-Because cell phones provide no audio feedback through the earpiece, some people talk much louder with cell phones than they do through land lines. This exposes the people around them to their conversations.

Health-Cell phones emit low levels of RF (radio frequency) radiation. Large amounts of this energy can heat and damage tissue, especially around the eyes and testicles, which do not have enough blood flow to carry away such heat. There is also concern that cell phones might cause cancer, headaches, sleep problems and memory loss.

CONCLUSION ESSAY – MOBILE PHONES

Cell phones have completely changed our world. People now use them for leisure time, business, school, and so much more. Cell phones are not just

cell phones anymore. People rely on them for video chatting for conference calls, searching the web for nearby restaurants, taking pictures of their

travels, using a GPS tracking system, etc. The majority of people own cell phones nowadays and people rely on them more than ever. Cell phones

have become a part of everyday life and I could not imagine what it would be like having to live without having a cell phone. Being away at school I

still am able to keep in contact with my parents and grandparents although I am far away from them. Cell phones are a vital service in the human

connection because people are able to have connections that the past decades never imaged. The cell phone is an incredible invention that has

altered our lives forever.
