Mobile phone is one of the most wonderful invention of late 20th century. It has revolutionised the whole modern world providing a huge benefit of lessening distances and helpin businesses. Over the years, mobile technology has gone through enormous development phases. Starting from absolute basic and simple black screen phone which was just capable of incoming/outgoing calls and perhaps a bit of text messaging facility where text message was just 160 characters approx. But over the years, it has gone through a huge revolutionary and development process. It is just like a product development life cycle, which has transformed a basic black screen mobile phone in to a modern smart phone. Not only equipped with the features of texting, it has also enriched communication applications like skype,viber, whatsapp, tango and many others. Now user are not only capable of sending/receiving instant messaging and making calls, they can easily utilise the wifi(wireless internet ) connection to join a home/office based network and make instant calls an messaging using these amazing application.
Well out of the proportion, these were all the benefits and transformation which a mobile phone device has gone through. By providing benefits to humanity who it revolutionary capability there are so many drawbacks which has been occurred in the society due to existence of this mobile phone technology. Like everything has pros and cons. Means, having positive and negative sides. This mobile phone technology has so many positive and negative effects, which are badly affecting the society especially, in Asian countries, where people tend to explore negative sides more than positive prospects.
By reviewing western world the usage of mobile phones is normally seen when required by individuals. However, reasonless usage of mobile phone can be seen everywhere is most of Asian countries like pakistan/India.
According to my experience, people in west mostly use phone to pretend that they are busy. This scenario can be easily observed during travel in most of the trains/tubes/buses and platforms.
There are so many drawbacks of this act too. Warning signs could be seen on roads and bus stops about using phone on roads, where people are always warned about harms of using mobile phone on roads, especially for teenagers.
It is very difficult to predict, why 95% of people are drenched in their phones during travel. They seems to be connected to some other world using their phones and thy don't realise, what's happening around them.
