Answer:

IMPACT OF CELL PHONES

World- wide technology and its changes play a major role in each
individual’s life. The current trend of the society is to adopt every change in
the field of communication technology. The mobile phones are boon of this
century.Mobile phone is considered as an important communication tool and
became the integral part of this society, it is not only communication device
but is also a necessary social accessory. People are increasingly using
mobile phones rather than the fixed telephones.
The cell phone today is a lifeline for many.It is considered that around
4.5 billion people use the cell phone worldwide. And it comes as no surprise
that a huge chunk of this quantity consists of this youth. The cell phone is
more of a necessity for them than a luxury. Umpteen number of surveys
conducted on the youth world- wide have figured out that they consider cell
phones as an integral part of survival and some have even gone to the extent
of saying would rather go without food for a day than without their cell
phones. With constant texting , calling ,listening to music ,playing phone
games or simply fiddling with the phone being such an integral part of their
lifestyles , it is slight wonder that that not having it around strikes them with
paranoia. According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, there are about
929.37 million mobile phone subscribers in India making it the world’s
second largest cell phone using developing country in the month of May,2012.
Motorola , Nokia , Samsung, Sony Ericsson etc. are the popular mobile phone
brands in Indian market luring their customers by introducing latest mobile
phones at regular intervals.
There has been quite an enormous amount of popularity of cellular
phones in younger generation because in adolscene stage , people are more
susceptible to changing fashion trends and style at schools, building them
more tech savvy which creates certain behavioral disorders. On the contrary,
administration and teachers frequently consider the use of cell phones by
students school , restraining them from their education and this as hurdles in
their education .Moreover , mobile phones have aided in smoothening the
progress of social release of youngsters from parental authority . But, their
parents often have more sense of security when their children travel
independently outside their home along with their phones.
