Hey! Firstly, let me ask some question- do everyone of you have your own mobile phone? When did you it? Do you afraid that the radiation of the mobile phone will affect your health?

I remember that when I had my very first mobile, my mother worried a lot. She was worried that the radiation of my mobile phone would affect my health. She didn't allow me to put the mobile phone in my pocket. She didn't let me to use the mobile phone more than 15 minutes. . .

To tell me own experience, I just want to bring out the topic 'the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phone'.

A mobile phone gives us a way to communicate with others. We can chat with friends whenever we like! If you are too lazy to dial a number, you can also tell your 'little secrets' to your friends by sending a sms. We can also find that some of us keep sending sms during lessons! But I am not going to mention his or her name . . .

By the time, technology being improved, mobile phones have more and more functions, like mp3 player, video player, camera and so on. . . Mobile phones are the tools to entertain us.

Between 1980s and 2000s, the mobile phone has been an expensive item used by business elites to a personal communications tool for the general population.

Base on my research from the website, wikipedia: Around 80% of the world's population enjoys mobile phone in 2006. This figure is expected to increase to 90% by the year 2010.

We wash our hands after using toilet but will you wash your hands after using your mobile? Bacteria on the keypad are more serious and fatal to human health than bacteria in the toilet.

In the other hand, we often find some news about the traffic accident cause by mobile phone. Some careless drivers use the mobile while they are driving and oblivious of the traffic safety.

There are advantages and also disadvantages of mobile phones. Will you stop using mobile phone because of its radiation? Will you purchase the far out mobile phone because of its unique function?

Do you think there are more advantages or more disadvantages? The co-founder of Apple Computer, Steve Wozniak said 'Read more books and try to wide your imagination. Try to solve the problem by yourself!' I think it just depend on you.

At last, hope you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phone and use your mobile carefully and properly. Try to solve the problem by yourself. Thank you!

Good morning, everyone. Before I start talking my topic, I want to ask you some questions. Do you have some electric appliances in your pocket or schoolbag now? I think everyone will use it to book some take-away lunchboxes. Yes, I am talking about mobile phone. However, why do you buy it? Just to follow the trend if teenagers? Just for sending SMS to your friends? Or for other reasons? Therefore, I am going to talk about "The advantages and disadvantages of mobile phone" today.

Nowadays, there are many different kinds of mobile phones in the market. Many people use mobile phones too, such as students, old people, and adults and so on. The size of mobile phone becomes handy and small. It has many colors like red, purple or even gold or silver. It is colorful. The brands of mobile phones are countless, such as Song Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, Nokia and LG. Different brands of mobile phones shoe different personalities. We have the clamshell, slider and touch screen. They are all stylish. There are more and more functions in mobile phones, such as taking photos, surfing the Net, sending or receiving SMS, listening to music etc. Mobile phones are useful and trendy.

Once I heard of a piece of news that because a man talked on his mobile phone for too long, then the battery burned and exploded his pocket suddenly, in a hole. This accident reminds us that we should not use the mobile phone for too long, and let the mobile phones had a rest.

People use mobile phones because they can connect with each other every time and everywhere, so they can save time to find each other. In addition, they think mobile phones are convenient. They can take photos, surfing the Net and playing the games. Mobile phones are an entertainment when we are bored.

However, mobile phone has some disadvantages. If we always talk on mobile phones, our human relationship becomes bad. Mobile phone has radiation. It disturbs our brain. If we still send SMS all the time, we may get astigmatism easily.

On the other hand, we need to pay large amount of money for the mobile phone. Students may spend lots of time to play the games and SMS. This will disturb our studies. The term test and exam result may become poor.

Although mobile phones are keeping us advanced nowadays, we should not always change the style of mobile phone and pay lots of money on them. Although there is lots of advantage on mobile phone, the disadvantages do influence us a lot. So we try not to use our mobile phone all the time! Thank you!

Good morning everyone,

I would like to discuss with you about a tool that most of us have, mobile phone, which is so important to our daily life.

Mobile phone provides us a lot of convenience. We can connect or being connected, anywhere and anytime, even when we are going out. It is why we call cell phone as 'mobile phone'. This convenience greatly improved the quality of our life. My family need not to worry while I am out since I can be contacted any time. However, how about you are being called while you are enjoying movie? It seems that we have less freedom on managing our own time. In addition, mobile phone also disturbs us a lot. I hate it when the others mobile phone ring in a concert or people talk loudly with their mobile in library. It is also dangerous when people talk with mobile while driving or crossing the road.

On the other hand, it cannot secure its 'convenience' all the time. Mobile may not cover all areas, such as basement or rural areas. The most fluctuation is that mobile cannot work when there is connection jam under emergency.

Beside convenience on phone conversation, mobiles phone has a lot of supplementary functions, for example, camera, dictionary, or even radio. It also provides us with a lot of choices on models, colors, and styles. Due to these rich functions and attractive new models, mobile has become very popular. People buy new phones just because of their attractive new models. Besides wasting money, it also causes electronic pollution.

Mobile phone is useful, but it may also be a harmful tool! It is known that radiation from mobile handset is harmful to our brain. It may cause brain cancer even it is still under proof. Furthermore, due to its convenience, people used to talk with mobile phone, rather than having face-to-face connection. It greatly hurts our human inter-relationship.

I think that mobile phone is a constructive tool for our daily life if we can use it properly. Thanks you.

Anything that releases vibration,radiation has potential of harming people especially if the radiation is the person or a part of his is frequently exposed to it.

I say this with all honesty that my sitting with LAPTOP .like the cell phone is having an itchy effect on my eyes presently.I only hope there could be more discoveries that will promote ergonomics of use of these vital ICT equipment.

Advantages:

Can available at any time any where,

Can commnicate any incident or accident instantly

Disadvantages:

According to a letest research the rays between two mobile phones (one caller and one receiver) can boil an egg in 65 minutes. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of your brains when you do long calls.

Mobile phones have now become the new world wide phenomenon; they are used all over the world for multiple purposes. This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones. The original use of the mobile phone is used to contact people from afar. Nowadays mobile phones are fully equipped with multiple functions such as Bluetooth, camera, SMS, games and much more. It is now a part of our everyday lives; you can see people wherever you go either talking or texting. But these great gadgets have numerous disadvantages. Mobile phones are extremely useful in case of any emergences, example your car crashed...before you would have probably had to run a mile to find the nearest phone booth, but now you can just use your mobile call the police or ambulance. But, mobiles are causing lack of exercise, instead of going to see your friend, you can just call them. The question everyone is asking now is: Is the mobile good or bad?
