These days smartphones are not simple gadgets for teenagers, but life-support systems.

Do you
agree or disagree?
 
The mobile phone has become a very popular and usefull gadget in a teenager‘s life. The first
smartphone being produced in 1996 was the first generation of the today‘s smartphones. Boys and
girl our generation uses their phone day and night, but is the smartphone eventually a life-support
system. Does it really saves people from danger and aren‘t there more usefull life-support systems?
 
 
Firstly, since the first people have used a mobile phone, the communication between humain to
humain has increased alot. With the world-wide-web and the internet specifically our planet is
capable to send messages or photos, or video,… within a few clicks. This way, a person is able to
make emergency calls within seconds. This averts the risc of suffering and not being able to call help
in need.
 
Secondly, the smartphone is a very popular gadget, used mostly by younger people between the age
of 12 and 17, due to it having many convenient applications and functions for teenagers.Teenagers
are often very attached to their mobile phone, because it offers a lot of diversity and convenient
functions that teenagers generally like to use. For example, many users use apps like the Internet, a
calculator, the camera to take some pictures or any type of messaging application. These apps of
course support a teenagers life in such a way that they can feel better more easily, for example fast
communication with their friends, in any situation that they need help or support in. They simplify a
youngster‘s life and save useful time that could go to waste.
 
But, if we turn to the part that speaks against the phrase stated above, one could argue that;

The phone has become an everyday gadet, but many teenagers abuse this advantage. They‘re
loosing their creativity and capabilities which are required in a daily run. Take as example the
calculator. Often teenagers tend to use calculators for easy calculations instead of their brains. This
way their ability to think fast and their mental capacity goes to waste, because they often are too
lazy to do these tasks on their own.
This means, that they overuse these functions, which is bad for their mental capacity. They are
getting too used to this simplification, that they forget how to do things properly

With this comes the general and biggest problem, cyberbullying. This is a very bad and miserable
disadvantage. While being on your phone and chatting or watching vidoes, you never know who you
chatting to, talking to or even see. This way other are able by cracking into your phone to collect
personnel informations about you and making them available for everyone else. So others can use
and also misuse them, making fun of you, making people hate you, because of one pic or one video.
At this point you can’t do anything anymore, because if you shared something once, it will be online
forever.

To conclude, the smartphone is a usefull and easy to use gadget with many features which simplify
everyday life. It even saves people in dangerous sitations by contacting the emergency authorities.
But otherwise, by misusing the phone, things are getting worse. The number of cyberbullying victims
and hacker attacks are increasing endlessly. So finally we can say, that the phone is indead not a life-
saver, but rather a life-support. With the phone, you are able to contact help, if you have any juice or
any net, you can’t contact anyone. A part from that, the phone brings many negative aspect, such as
cybermobbing, lazyness, discreasing of mental capabilies and more.
