cell phones are highly usefull or not?

I still remember the days when I use to hear from the next town via mail. It is like talking today and hearing the response the next month. The fastest we communicate way back then is through telegraph in broken texts or on the radio public service. If we have to call somebody on the phone, we have to run to the nearest telephone exchange center five miles away. Then came the wired telephone in some homes. We can't afford the cost so we still have to run next door or run five miles to make a call. How times have changed. Today people get tired of communicating via phone any time, anywhere: on the beach, on the mountains, on top of the trees or in one's bedroom. Thanks to the cellphone, I has made the world wider and more accessible even if it is a little bit troublesome sometimes.

Cell phone's are a necessary evil in today's modern society and even though they may make kids someone anti social in a way due to the fact they do not talk face to face as much.I think that cell phones are very convenient and can help a lost kid find out where there parents are.Without cell phones kids or teens that are in an unfamiliar area of the city and can't find a telephone can quickly call their parents and be picked up.Cell phones are so common place that if you do not have one you are a very small minority today.

The main damage would be the high cellphone bills the parents get from the children texting and being on the phone all the time as well as there might be a slight radiation damage from having the phone too close to the ear when one's brain is still being developed. That is why even with adults, most do not talk most on the cell phone (although the cost per minute has something to do with it.) It is useful for older children, teens who might find themselves in situations where they want their parents to come right away, or they may have to tell their parents that they have to stay or go somewhere, etc. But not for younger children. In those cases, perhaps if the parents have to keep in touch with the child, there should be a trustful adult who would relay the message.

They are good in most ways, but have their disadvantages just like everything else. They are useful to keep track of where your children are most of the time, but they make your children a target for someone to steal the phone as it would be easier to steal it off a child than it would an adult.

I think cell phones are the most over rated, unnecessary, needless things ever made. No one needs to be that accessible and no one needs to be doing all that thumbing stuff instead of reading a book, talking to friends, doing things that matter and paying attention to what you are doing while texting/talking. I really hate cell phones!

Hi satish, It is as simple as this you can run your car with petrol and there are many other uses of petroleum products,on the other side you can burn yourself.Cell phone is one of the best technological advance of the decade. I still remember when I was in college If I am late by an hour or two to home,my mother used to worry a lot about me.But Now a days mothers will call up their children to know their information. You are reachable any time by anyone,communication has become faster. But yes there are some negatives particularly with youth they have to be closely monitored,and parents need to check their cellphones and messages once in a week. In my opinion it is a tool which is a need to the today world. Happy technological living

It's not the cellphone that will damage our children's lives. It's the parents not knowing how to supervise their children with the use of cellphone that will. Cellphone has become a necessity for all of us that it's quite difficult to ignore it's significance to us. As a mother I would want to monitor my son's whereabouts but I still give him the trust to decide for himself. I can only do the monitoring through cellphone when he's away from me.
