given below :-
Mobiles Everywhere
Mobiles phones are now everywhere. These are with everyone every minute.
Mobiles phones have become very cheap, so it is no more problem to have it.
Biggest advantage is that these can be carried anywhere. We can talk to a distant
person within seconds. You just have to dial his phone number. Undoubtedly, mobile
phones are a big help but these can become bad and harmful if used unwisely. For
example, bad characters are also using mobile for wicked purposes. Young boys
and girls keep chatting on phone for long hours, thereby wasting their precious time
as well as parent’s hard-earned money. No doubt, mobile phones are a blessing, but
only if used judiciously. It all depends how we use our mobiles. It is in our own hands
to make it a boon or a bane.
