Mobile phones: here to stay

Most people today cannot imagine their life without a mobile phone. I believe it is one of the most important

innovations ever. Thanks to mobile phones, our lives are much easier today.

First of all, if you have a mobile phone you can make phone calls no matter where you are. For example, you

can call a friend to let them know that you lost your way or are going to be late. As a result, you feel safer and

less stressed.

In addition, we can use mobile phones to send text messages. We can write messages to friends giving them news

or sending them birthday wishes. We can even listen to the radio while travelling on a bus or the metro.

However, some people would argue that it has a negative effect on our life. If we use mobile phones all the

time, it is bad for our health.

In my opinion, mobile phones have more advantages than disadvantages if we use them correctly. Our lives

are better with them and they are here to stay.

A cannot live without mobile phones.
