Ban Mobiles In Public Areas 

Mobile phones have revolutionized the world of personal communication but also invited a lot of flack as some people feel that these handy gadgets are proving to be more nuisance than being useful, and hence, people should be barred from using them in public especially  libraries and public transport, though there are some, who feel otherwise.

People using cellular phones tend to become insensitive towards others as they while talking to others on these small gadgets become oblivious of the surroundings, and are lost in their own world. Talking on phones takes them through a psychological transformation as they are not able to control their impulses and react immediately to discussions taking place on the phones, the reactions which often are loud and bland, and in process disturbing the people around. This disturbance easily upsets fellow commuters using public transport like buses and trains.

Moreover, these modern gadgets are equipped with numerous Apps and games, which tend to be addictive. The people using these facilities are always engrossed in playing games or chatting with other people with help of social networking Apps. This makes them ignorant of surrounding conditions, and they silently carry on behaving erratically and disturbing others in the process, especially ones sitting in peaceful environments like libraries.

Nevertheless, barring use of these gadgets in public would be unwise, as most people often make use of these gadgets to communicate urgent matters only. Moreover, while using these gadgets in public areas, people tend to be quite as most usually minding their own business and not disturbing others around.

To sum up, I personally feel that although some of the mobile users do behave erratically in public, this does not however imply that we should ban use of these gadgets in public areas.
