Mobile Fever
Why are we so addicted to mobile phones? There are now over forty million people in
Britain with mobiles and if the present trend continues, every man, woman and child in Britain
will soon have one – or two, or three!
They can be expensiveand are possibly bad for us. You can spend a lot of money if you
use your mobile a lot. According to some scientists, if we go on using mobiles, we’ll cook our
brains. Some people even say that radiation from mobiles causes cancer.
Teenagers are among the biggest users of mobiles, and ‘texting’ is creating a new
language full of abbreviations such as ‘How RU?’ in Japan, Surveys show teenagers are
reading less and mobile use is affecting the marks of secondary school learners. A big problem
in Britain is crime. Last year half a million British teenagers were victims of mobile phone
theft.
As technology improves, mobiles can do more and more. If you have one of the new
multimedia mobiles, you can log on the net, pay for things, play games, interact with TV
programs and take photos to send to your friends.
