Education: Cell phones enable the

questions in class.Social Media: Many people have made a

through social media. It’s important to

updating their feeds and websites, and
many other services that people could

and an internet connection. Cell Phones

something everyone could afford to do.

business can use cell phones as an
advantage is in the field of marketing.

carefully those who are most likely to
buy their product or service.
A Life Saver: Some people believe that
cell phones are a distraction that make it
harder for us to be safe. This is because
it can be more difficult to focus on
something when we have so many
different things constantly zooming
around our vision. However, there are
many ways in which cell phones have
made the world safer. For instance, if
someone fell and was hurt, they could
send a text message to their family or
friends letting them know they need
help. It also allows emergency services
to call you faster, which can make all the
difference in an emeraency situation.difference in an emergency situation.

they are watching their favourite show.
Cell phones also provide access to news
and information, making the phone a
handy tool for everyone.Disadvantages Of Cell
Phones
As we are already aware, smartphones are a
big part of society today. People often depend
on them for the day-to-day tasks that they
need to do like work, school, or leisure. On the
other hand, there are also some
disadvantages associated with owning a cell
phone — and these include loss of privacy
when your phone is stolen or hacked. Cell
phones can also lead to addiction because
many apps and games are designed to keep
users engaged.
For instance, PUBG is an extremely popular
mobile game and has caused many kids to be
extremely addicted. In addition, smartphones* Addiction and distraction: Cell phones
can be dangerous for children, teens and
adults. Increasing numbers of young
people are using their cell phones as a
new way to escape from boredom,
loneliness or stress — and these can
have negative repercussions. For
instance, it can increase anxiety, stress
and exacerbate existing tensions. As
smartphones become more advanced
with new features like GPS and social
media applications, the problems with
cell phone usage are only going to get
worse.* Hearing issues: Cell Phone use has been
linked with hearing problems and the
sad effects of Tinnitus. This comes from
the exposure to noise on the phone,
which causes vibrations in the eardrum.
These vibrations can cause damage to
the delicate hair cells that are inside our
ears. If a person has excessive use of
their phone for more than an hour a day,
they may experience hearing loss. And
when this happens ear pain can occur.
Vision problems: Research has shown
that the amount of time spent looking at
a screen can cause a vision issue. It is
recommended to limit cell phone use to
an hour or two each day and wear
sunglasses to protect your eyes. Cell
phones are also causing other problems
including headaches and motion
sickness.* General Health Issues: Cell phones emit
asmall amount of electromagnetic
radiation, which can interfere with the
body's normal functioning. These effects
are not large enough to cause cancer,
but they can cause problems like
headaches and sleep loss. Other
negative health effects of cell phone use
include poor concentration and eye
strain.¢ Bullying: Children who use cell phones
are more likely to be bullies than children
who do not. It has been found that the
more often a child uses their phone, the
more likely they are to bully other
children verbally or physically. They talk
about what others are wearing and how
they look, and make fun of them for not
having a cell phone. In addition to this,
it's been found that children who bully
others tend to have a difficult time
regulating their emotions on their own.¢ Privacy and security issues: Cell Phones
have become an integral part of our
everyday lives. This is a source of
convenience and a huge way to stay
connected with friends and family.
Unfortunately, this reliance on the
gadget has led to many security issues
that can put you at risk. Smartphones
are constantly being used to take
photos, videos, and record audio. These
devices are not just personal tools but
they also hold sensitive company
information. As these devices continue
to become more advanced, so do their
risks.¢ Road accidents: A recent study shows
that the number of people killed in car
accidents whilst using their cell phones
has significantly increased over the last
few years. This increase is due to an
increased use of cell phones and more
hands-free devices such as GPS and
Bluetooth devices. There are several
safety laws in place now that require
motorists to keep their eyes on the road,
but unfortunately these laws are not
strong enough to deter drivers who text
while driving. The most dangerous part
about this phenomena is that drivers’
reaction time drops when they're texting
because they're focusing on a single
task instead of watching out for what's
going on around them.Advantages & Disadvantages
