1. It is an indisputable fact that the world has gone too far with the innovation of

new technologies such as mobile phones, the Internet and so on, due to which

people are able to tour the cosmos virtually sitting at one place using their smart

devices or other technological gadgets. Though mobile internet access is

oftentimes hurried and short, it can still provide common internet features like

alerts, weather data, emails, search engines, instant messages, and games and

music downloading.

2. Due to the easy access of smart phones, communication has been very

effective and instant. People are able to convey their message all around the

globe to their loved ones without spending hefty sums of money. Adults are

always fond of such gadgets and they always welcome and adopt such new

technology readily. Further, young people have been able to broaden their

minds and improve their skills by doing research on the Internet. For instance,

they use smart phones to look up any new word they come across. As we know

that most of the universities have online teaching provision and smart phones

assist the students to complete their assignments on time.
3. The mobile phone has been a lifesaver for a lot of people in case of an

emergency. Likewise, the use of smartphones can be of vital importance in

preventing crimes in society by providing information to the security forces in

time.

4. Nonetheless, for the young the use of mobile phones can be like an addiction

and they can misuse it. Young people are also prone to getting involved in

undesirable activities on the Internet. This might have an adverse effect on their

academic performance. Therefore, young people should always be monitored

and made aware of its bad outcomes.

5. Also a major contributor to its popularity is the availability of prepaid or pay–

as–you–go services from a phone shop or an online store. This allows

subscribers to load text or airtime credits to their handsets by the use of their

credit cards, debit cards or by buying a prepaid card from the network they

If prepaid card is not that appealing to you, then you can opt to subscribe using
