Some
people say that mobile phones should be banned in public places such as
libraries, shops and public transport. Do you agree or disagree?
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.
