Answer
Mobile phones have become a part of many people's lives nowadays. However, not everyone agrees that they are a good thing.
There are a number of benefits to using mobile phones. To begin with, you are always connected. This means that wherever you are you can be reached. What is more, some mobile phones have Internet access. Therefore, you can check your emails and reply to important messages anywhere.
On the other hand, the use of mobile phones has its drawbacks. To start with, they may cause health problems as the radiation from mobile phones can be harmful. Furthermore, they are expensive. For example, monthly bills or phonecard usage can be high if you are not careful.
All things considered, although there are disadvantages to using mobile phones, I believe that the benefits outweigh them. Technology is an important part of modern life and if we use it wisely, our daily lives will be easier especially in terms of communication.
