Nowadays, mobile phones have become an inevitable part of modern life, enabling people to communicate instantly and access information wherever they are. Its usage has become a basic necessity of life and one cannot image to live without mobile phones. Some individuals contend that their use should be prohibited in public places such as libraries, shops, and on public transports, while others hold the view that telecommunication technology should be utilized anywhere. In my opinion, mobile phones should not be banned all over the world because they bring numerous benefits for both society and community.
On the one hand, banning mobile phone use in certain public settings would significantly reduce noise and improve the experience of sharing the same space. Libraries, for example, are designed to provide a quiet environment for reading and studying, and even brief phone conversations can interrupt concentration. Similarly, loud discussions through phones on buses and trains may annoy passengers who wish to rest, work, enjoy a peaceful journey. In shops, customers speaking on their phones often delay queues and distract staff, which can reduce efficiency and convenience. By restricting phone usage in these places, the governments could promote greater respect for the public and create a more peaceful atmosphere.
On the other hand, there are some situations where mobile devices can do more good than harm. For an outstanding example, when one goes to do shopping, the one might forget a list of products that she or he should buy. In this situation, the one could call to his or her family members to ask them to send the list through messaging apps like Telegram or What’s up, instead of returning to home in order to bring it. Consequently, it saves a lot of time with just one call. In terms of public transport, individuals with the device can have the chance to hire taxes through special programmes like Yandex Go and Alisa. Without it, it is highly likely that a person will be late for work, making a bad impression on a boss or even being redundant from a job.
From my perspective, a complete ban would be neither practical nor desirable. This is mainly because mobile phones are indespensable in emergencies, allowing people to contact family members regardless of geographical barrier, medical services, or the police. They are also useful for navigation, mobile payments, and buying digital tickets as well.
To conclude, although banning use of mobile phones can be useful in public places in order to reduce distraction, noise and delays, I firmly remain convinced that these technologies are increasingly more important in very branch of life, ranging from communication to even public services.
