Mobile Phone: A Modern Utility or Health Hazard?
Shakespeare has very wisely said: “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Similarly, mobile phones in themselves are neither good nor bad; however, how we use them makes them good or bad. Mobiles have become a source of major distractions for the students. Young boys and girls seem to have become inordinately addicted to these sites. They are thoughtlessly and uselessly wasting their precious time on these useless sites.
Wise people says that ‘time well utilized is the time well spent’ but the young generation of today is only and only wasting their time on chatting, messaging, uploading photographs and modifying profiles. The smart phones and 4G connections have made the situations worse. Accessing such sites has become so easy that the young girls and boys are using these sites almost everywhere and almost all the time. Are we heading to only Facebook and Twitter perfection? Where are the objectives of attaining the status of the advanced country? There are so many challenges that we as well as the nation face; challenges such as population, mismanagement of our natural resources, poverty, unemployment, corruption, pollution, etc.
Is it not a pathetic attitude of youth to lose such objectives out of the sight and instead waste their time, money and energy on such useless sites so recklessly? Will the sites like Facebook, Orkut or Twitter ever help us to change the bad conditions and problems of our society and nation? The overuse of mobile has posed serious health issues. Radiation caused by microwaves emitting from network towers as well as mobile phones, eyesight getting affected due to exposure to mobile screen for hours, etc. are some of the health issues. Besides, mobile phones are also responsible for difficulty in concentration, fatigue, headaches and sleep disturbance that can further trigger health complications.
