You can easily make an argument for either side of this issue.

On the “boon” side, you can argue that mobile phones have made life more convenient for many people.  They allow people to keep on doing business while they are on a bus or walking home.  They allow parents to always be in touch with their children.  They can even be used in developing countries as a way to store and transmit money from one person to another, thus making it easier for people to do business in such countries.

On the “bane” side, you can argue that they have taken away much of our privacy.  We can no longer enjoy time away from work with our bosses unable to contact us.  The signals our phones give off give a record of where we are and where we have been that the government and/or advertisers can use.  We can also argue that they have made it less pleasant to be out in public.  People no longer talk to one another but rather talk loudly on their phones, making public spaces much more annoying.

Answer 2

$\textbf{\large{Answer -}}$

$\textbf{\underline{Mobile\:-\:Boon\:or\:Bane}}$

Let's start with the topic. First of all what is a mobile ? Umm everyone familiar with it. Mobile is a device which is nowadays used for performing many functions. For example, we can use mobile for communication over large distances, send text messages, play games, find friends online etc.

But what if we are everytime indulged in using phone. Not a good thing to always stick on our phone. Nowadays we find students storing answer in mobile while exams, people using phone while driving which can be dangerous for our life.

Also, mobile has brought our life to an ease like if we are struck in traffic we can call anyone for our help. Or in any case of emergency, we can inform the person who is sitting miles away.

Use of technology is good, but it should be done in an efficient way. So it would be neither a boon nor bane.
