答案Mobile phones are now so commonplace that it seems as though everyone owns one, in comparison to just a decade ago. There are both beneficial and negative aspects to this development. On a positive note, mobile phones are fun and enjoyable to use, with games, messages, pictures, music and even email available as a function. They are also highly personalized, expressing individual style and fashion through color, shape and ringbone. Cell phones make communication straightforward and very convenient, whether they are used for business or pleasure. Communication has become instant and efficient. The other positive aspect of cell phones is that they are a relatively economical method of communicating with others. On the other hand, there have been several negative impacts due to increased cell phone usage. It has made people constantly available and placed high demands and expectations on response times, particularly for employees. It has also had a detrimental effect on people’s social skills and manners as they are constantly on alert for their latest call or message, even to the point of rudeness when checking their phone while having lunch or coffee with others, for instance. Some young people have had problems with repetitive strain injuries caused by constant testing, and there have also been concerns about the link between cell phone use and certain types of cancer. Finally, there has been considerable community resistance to the construction of mobile phone signal towers in their neighborhoods, on the grounds of safety and aesthetics. On the whole, mobile phones have dramatically changed the way we live and communicate, which has both negative and positive consequences.
