Cell Phones
1.Believe
it or not,cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century.The first
commercial cell phone system was developed by the Japanese in 1979,but cell
phones have changed a lot since that time.The early cell phones were big and
heavy but they have developed into small and light palm sized models.There have
been huge developments in their functions,too:we have had call forwarding,text
messaging,answering services and hands-free use for years,but now there are
countless new facilities,such as instant access to the Internet and receiving
and sending photos.
2.Cell phones have become very common in
our lives:recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet
now have a cell phone,and most of them say they couldn't live without one. Cell
phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool,used
for essential arrangements,social contact and business.They have made it easier
to call for help on the highway.They have made it possible to keep in touch with
people“on the move”-when people are traveling.
3.Cell phones
have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments!We
can use cell phones to let our family know we'll be late or if there's a sudden
change of plan or an emergency.Cell phones have eased the worries of millions of
parents when their teenagers are out late:they can now contact their children at
any time.
4.This does not mean that cell phones are all good
news.They have brought with them a number of new headaches for their owners:it
costs a lot to replace stolen phones,something that is becoming a frequent
occurrence,and have you ever seen such huge phone bills?More serious,however,is
the potential health problem they bring:there are fears that radiation from the
phones may cause brain tumor(肿瘤). This may be a time bomb waiting to happen to
younger people who have grown up with cell phones that they simply can't live
without!
