Question

Write an essay in about 200 words on The Mobile Phone, a boon or a bane

Answer 1

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.
