Mobile phones

Mobile phones are phones that you can take anywhere you want so basically they are mobile. It’s another way of communicating and very commonly used around world. In today’s society nearly everyone has they own personal mobile phone. In Australia over half the people have mobile phones; in a wide variety of settings – at works, at home, out and about, for convenience and security, Mobile Phones has become part of our way of life. However, In terms of service control, mobile communications has inherent advantages and disadvantage.

 

Mobiles are used for their purpose, to communicate; mobiles are there to keep in touch with friends and family and in case of an emergency if you need a phone. I personally have a phone and I found it’s really useful in my life, I can call anyone at anytime from anywhere to bulid up the good realtionship with all of my friends. A great advantage of the mobile telephone is that people are always in touch, always reachable; and a great disadvantage is that people are always in touch, always reachable. The age newspaper has pointed out the mobile phone help people not fall in sleep after 8hours working on the publice transpot. People can send message or chating with friends on the way to home. Because mobile phone can always be on and accessible to receive information. Now the mobile phones and computer are starting to merge, with handsets offering the ability to process, send and receive data. The upshot is that many mobile phones can now play games, send and receive email, instant messages, digital photos and even video. Nine in 10 people in the Australia now own one and also it add $6 billion a year to the Australian economy.

 

Since the Mobile Broadband has appeared, these devices that mix phone and computer it helped simplify our lives.  For example, mostly with 3G connections and with digital cameras built in, there are increasing number being able to shoot short videos; It offers downloads at speeds high enough to make it possible to download news and sport clips, make video calls to friends or family…etc; and also we can take photo and share photos with online sites such as Flickr or mail them to friends as messaging service, or to an email account for storage.  As for myself, I will always use this sort of service send my photo to my mum from Australia to China.

 

In addition, Mobile phones have large advantages for businesses. The biggest advantage of having a business mobile phone is that it becomes much easier to contact you. For example, Mr. Smith is away from the office, a colleague or customer can be put straight through to your mobile phone. Even if they can only speak to you briefly, it is better than turning them away with no contact. Mobile phones can allow a whole network of employees or offices to communicate with each other no matter where they are. Even if each employee has their own land telephone number, when they are away from that location they normally become unreachable. Effective use of mobile phones can help improve both employer to employee, and employee-to-employee communications. No matter what type of business you run, it is almost certain that telephone communication plays a vital role in communication with customers and business partners. It allows you to be accessible at all times, wherever you are. It can help improve communication between staff and customers, particularly business to business customers that may involve traveling.

 

The mobile telephone has quickly, profoundly, and unexpectedly altered many aspects of human life — social, economic, cultural and political. Thus for every advantage a new technology offers, there is always a corresponding disadvantage.

 

Firstly, People are not always in an opportune place, time, or frame-of-mind to pick up the phone. Mobile phone being accessible from anywhere in the country is that people who try to sell you things and waste your time or racketeer via the mobile phones. For example, in UK there are increasing people experienced the problem of incessant and unwanted mobile phone calls telling them has won a prize. “There has been a recent explosion in the number of people receiving unwanted automated phone calls telling them they have won a prize if they return the call in UK”, the BBC news in UK have also pointed out. The Office of Fair Trading believes the practice is netting fraudsters up to £150million a year. As we see, the mobile phone also will bring some serious problem to us.

 

In recent years, another big issue is mobile phone’s health. “…Mobile might wrecking your brain and other health effects…”, some health researchers have pointed out.

Anyhow, although research on mobile phones has proven that they have the possibility to cause cancer or other health problem, in my opinion they are still a main part of our lives. Some of us need mobiles to contact family members to organize when we shall get picked up from different places. If there is someone in trouble a mobile phone could be used to call different places. If there is someone in trouble a mobile phone could be used to call an emergency number to either save a life or call the police and arrest a criminal. Some people might say that we could just use public phone to do all these things. Fine. If the circumstance arrives and there is a public phone on offer then if they want they can use that, but the point is there are not public phones on every street corner and mobile phones are easier to use and much more accessible. Due today, the results of the studies to prove that mobiles can cause cancer are inconclusive and the chance of getting cancer from mobiles is much less than getting cancer from smoking or the sun.

 

However, mobile phone solves problems and makes our life better, it allowing instant communication with friends and family, downloading of maps, or just staying entertained with music and games…etc. Mobiles have become a part of our everyday life and they have benefits that far outweigh any possible risks that they may have on users.
