Nowadays, there are many people using mobile phones to do many things, such as read news, send emails, and go on social media. According to a research on the usage of mobile phone by a UK-based telecom company in 2014, it was found that 88% of respondents used their mobiles to listen to music, 78% for browsing the internet while travelling and 76% for doing email or sending texts.

The history of Mobile Phones

The first mobile phone call was made in 1973 when Martin Cooper, a former Director of Motorola, called his rival at Bell Labs to inform him that he was speaking on a mobile phone. This event marked the start of a new era for communication, as it altered our way of living and working. The first generation (1G) phones were analogue and were mainly used for transmitting voice calls and text messages but they were slow and had low-quality sound. They also required the user to be stationary while using them, but this changed along with the arrival of digital (2G) technology in 1992 allowing for a better quality signal with faster connections. The first digital network was the GSM (Global System for Mobile) which operates to this day. After 2G came third-generation (3G) technology which can support much faster data transfer. The fourth generation of networks (4G) works similarly to 3G but is much faster and supports Internet connection on phones and tablets at a very high speed.

There are many other causes mobile phones support, including raising funds for people in need, conducting surveys, taking part in polls or signing petitions.

Mobile Phones and Social Media

Nowadays social media is one of the most popular uses of a mobile phone. A few years ago people preferred to use computers to access sites like Facebook or Twitter but recently more and more prefer to use a mobile phone for this purpose. According to research on mobile phone use it was found that 57% of people using social media sites accessed them using a mobile phone only. The main reason for this is simplicity and speed – as the most people have their phones always at hand when they’re travelling or running errands. It’s also much easier to update your status on your phone than it is to do so on a computer.

The most popular social media platforms are Facebook and Twitter with which more than 90% of people all around the world told they had accounts. According to a study by Pew Research Center the average user has three social media accounts which they use on a daily basis.

The most popular way of using social media is on smartphones which are used by 68% of social media users. Tablets are used by 27% of users while laptops or desktop computers are used to access them by only 6%. A laptop was the primary device used for social media in 2010 but since then mobile phones have become more and more popular as they offer a much easier and faster way to access sites like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

One of the main advantages of using social media on a mobile phone is that it offers a much faster and direct way to access information. Users can post or reply to messages quickly and easily which makes social media more fun. A mobile device is always at hand; taking a photo or video, checking status updates or sending an email are only a couple of clicks away. It’s easy to navigate and comment on a friend’s blog post, save photos for later use or share interesting links with family & friends.

What are the disadvantages of mobile phones?

The main disadvantages of mobile phones include the fact that they can distract people from doing daily activities, like studying, eating or exercising. They also cost a lot of money and require a monthly fee. People might also spend too much time on their mobiles to the point they don’t notice when it’s time to eat or do something important, like missing an important meeting or an appointment.

Mobile phones are very useful but in some cases they might be more trouble than they’re worth. Most people agree that there is no need for a mobile phone if you don’t have to pay for it as it’s one more monthly expense you don’t have to make. Some people also don’t think it’s necessary to have a phone if you live in a big city with good public transportation or if you can always find someone to lend you their phone or use the landline. In many cases it’s more convenient to use a landline as there is no need to recharge the battery and no data charges.

The biggest problem with mobile phones is young children who are addicted to them. According to research, teenagers that spend less time using a mobile phone are more likely to have better academic performance, better grades, better relationships with teachers and parents and fewer behavior problems than those who spend more time on their phones.

Mobile phones are also a big hazard for pedestrians and drivers as they use their phones while walking or driving. Using a mobile phone while driving is one of the most dangerous things people can do as it kills thousands of people each year in the US alone.

Mobile phones are very helpful, but in many cases they can cause more harm than good. If used right, a mobile phone can be a great advantage to its owner. But if you don’t use it wisely and don’t pay attention to what you do when using your phone, it might end up causing serious problems for you in the future.
