Why are we so addicted to
mobile phones? There are now over forty million people
in
Britain with mobiles and if
the present trend continues, every man, woman and child in Britain
will soon have one – or two, or three! They can be expensive and
are possibly bad for us. You can spend a lot of money if you use
our mobile a lot. According to some scientists, if we go on using
mobiles, we’ll cook our brains. Some people even say that radiation
from mobiles causes cancer. Teenagers are among the biggest users
of mobiles, and ‘texting’ is creating a new language full of
abbreviations such as ‘How RU?’ in Japan, Surveys show teenagers
are reading less and mobile use is affecting the marks of secondary
school learners. A big problem in Britain is crime. Last year half
a million British teenagers were victims of mobile phone
theft.
As technology improves,
mobiles can do more and more. If you have one of the
new
Multi media mobiles, you can
log on the net, pay for things, play games, interact with TV
programsand take photos to send to your
friends.
