Our world has revolutionized digitally very much over the past two decades. In this modern digital era where phones have become smarter than ever, it has transformed our lives to a great extent both positively and negatively. While some people believe that with the rise in the use of mobile phones, our communication has become much easier and every other person is available at the click of a button, we must also adhere to the fact that it has also impacted our lives socially and physically.
In earlier times, people used to visit one another, attend small events, and occasions. With social media platforms on the rise, people now tend to communicate over the phone or through video messages, avoiding such smaller get-togethers. This impacts our social lives as we stay confined in our own space and lack the development of social skills. Here, the argument about saving time becomes true as you can invest the same time in learning a new skill or prioritizing other important tasks.
Also, we must not forget that mobile phones operate on radio-frequency and excessive exposure to such frequencies is not considered safe for our health. Studies have proved in the past how increased use of mobile phones has impacted individuals physically, such as weak eyesight, obesity, and so on. To combat these issues, meticulous planning should be made on installing mobile signal towers in residential areas, and personal use of phones should be marginalized, especially for young children.
In conclusion, technology is a two-sided sword and can be used for its benefits as well as cause drawbacks. The decision lies in the hands of the user.
