In the past it was only possible to contact people at home by letter or telephone. Nowadays, mobile devices mean that we can communicate with people anywhere and at any time. Now, mobile devices became to important part of our life anb radically change way of using. But I think the main question is what of it brings more benefits and what less.
In past to had your own stationary phone, it was expensive and prestigious, most people just didn’t have the opportunity to get it. In the 1970, for example, in a nine-story building could be only be one apartment with a telephone. Neighbors usually asked permission to use such phone only for important things or to quickly inform relatives about something important Also, device was often placed in the hallway so as not to disturb the owners. But nowadays situation has visibly change. Thanks for mobile phones. Additionally, we can relate with each other any time and anywhere. Moreover, this is especially important in emergency situations, and is also convenient for everyday communication. Modern technologies allow us not only to rapidly transmit information, but also to be more productive: participate in video call, study, manage finances and make purchases. This significantly saves time and makes life more comfortable. However, this constant access have another, more dark side. Folk just become dependent on such devices. They feel anxious without a phone, losing the time between personal and work time. Besides, this leads to lack of live communication, which can negatively effect on social skills.
However, despite these disadvantages, the benefits of mobile communications – se convenience and efficiency – far outweigh the disadvantages.
