Mobile phones - A boon or a curse

Is a knife useful instrument or a perilous weapon? It depends on how it is used. Same implies with the case of technology. The greatest invention are those which affect the mass of people; and of those greatest invention is cell phones. Cell phones have revolutionised the human existence. This is possible only because they are getting cheaper and cheaper day by day. Discounted cell phones accessories have made it even easier to keep the phone intact and give it a longer life.
Undoubtedly, If cell phones are in right hands, then they are a marvel ! Firstly they are proved to be a gratuity on the account of uniting not only the country but the entire planet as a "global village". No matter how far we are sitting we can gossip anytime anywhere ! In fact it's bliss to the parents as well as children. Parents can every time monitor their children and children are also safe. If anyone is in any kind of danger, he can call for help immediately. It arrests mishaps.
There are always two sides of a coin. Cell phones have made terrorist attacks in the world very easy. This has become a global matter of concern. Not going far beyond and viewing things aerially and focusing solely on our lives children are growing in precocious manner, which is again a big matter of concern for parents. Also discounted cell phone accessories have made it easier for children to buy them and keep them unnoticed ! They burn their time to ashes by playing games on it, listening songs etc. Instead of going out and playing, they stick to their easy chairs or couches and play games on their phones, which turns their reflexes into slow responses !
Over utilisation of any resource is harmful. Now mobile phones have started considering it as an inevitable part of their lives.
We should always remember, that there lives a wise man between the valley of two mountains. Plain and pleasure are a result of modern technology.
Usage of cell phones as a boon or a bane; the answer lies in our hands !
