An Unavoidable Gadget Among Consumers

It has to be admitted that mobile phones became an unavoidable product in our day to day life. Even now it is common that school students are carrying the mobile phones. Now a days mobile phone manufactures and service providers are keen in generating new consumers and are having well defined sales strategies. 10 years back mobile phone was an expensive item and the bill amount of the service providers was also quite high. Incoming calls are totally free now except for roaming calls .Even recharge vouchers for 20 rupees are common in the market which makes many consumers to use the phone. Especially by the flood of cheap Korean made handsets in the market, more and more consumers are attracted to the world of mobile communication. As one among the million consumer of mobile phone, I would like to share my personal views regarding the advantages and disadvantages of this gadget.

Let us look in to the advantages first. The major advantage is that it keeps you always in touch with your friends, relatives and other important people. In emergency cases, it is very helpful to contact others. Even without SIM card SOS message can be send from most of the handsets. You can listen to stored music, FM radios or videos while travelling and during free time. The usage of memory cards makes it easy to view even movies in the handset. It is also having useful functions like calculator, note pad, alarm clock, timer , reminders etc. Most of the mobile phones also have a camera with good resolution to pick the images with quality equivalent to that of a still camera. Mobile phones give an easy access to internet and email. For example my blackberry handset help me to receive and send my mails easily. The facility like USB port helps to take the print out directly without routing the data through a computer.Some of the mobile phones are introduced with torch light and is helpful in emergency.

Even though mobiles phones makes our life easy, we should see the negative part of them also. You should be very careful in choosing a service provider. If you are not conscious, they may empty your pocket. Especially we should choose the cheapest service provider with the best package suitable for us. Now a days most of the people are spending more time with mobiles phones than with their family and friends. It makes people lazy as most of the communications are done by phone calls and it avoids physical presence. Sometimes it is a disturbance during working hours and other activities. Several recent studies reveals that it affects the health of people due to emission of radiation. The biggest disadvantages we are facing is the road accidents happening due to the usage of mobile phones while driving. Now a days most of the car manufactures are coming out with bluetooth enabled speakers which avoids the diversion of concentration while driving. Even most of the state government is treating the usage of phones while driving as a traffic offence and punishable. As per my experience we should carry the handset but the usage should be restricted to limit the disadvantage. Also one should budget the usage as per their capacity and try to use it only in unavoidable situations. It is also highly recommended that we should not use mobile phones phone while driving.
