Cell Phone and Our Lives

We spend most of our time with a palm-sized small electronic that we call cell phone. It is always placed very near us to use anytime. We often realize that we get in a panic if we don’t bring our cell phones. Why do we rely on cell phones? Is it good for our lives?
It is true that cell phones make our like convenient. We don’t have to remember others’ phone number because our cell phone remembers all phone numbers instead of me. We cannot wake up by ourselves without a cell phone. It makes us get up every morning with a beautiful melody. If we’re bored, we don’t need to do other things because our cell phone has a lot of entertainment factors.
However, if we think about cell phones for a while, we realize advantages of cell phones can be defined as simply good things. We are addicting to convenience that cell phones give us. We feel nervous and tight when we don’t bring it with us. According to the number of message that we receive in a day, our feelings change. If no one calls up, we feel withdrawal symptoms like an alcoholic who can’t drink. Remembering phone numbers is impossible without cell phones.
Cell phones replace part of ours lives such as memory and friends. Smart cell phones never forget numbers and schedules, and funny cell phones make us entertained. However, we should be aware that although it can be considered useful, it can’t be regarded healthful in our lives. As we depend on a cell phone, we are going to be a dummy.
In conclusion, our lives and our thoughts are under the control of cell phones. It is requiring us to more rely on itself. To be released from control of the cell phone, we should keep away our cell phones from us.
