Wrting task 2 : Advantages and Disadvantage s of Mobile devices

In the light of the proliferation of mobile communication tools, some people hold the belief

that these technology bring about more disadvantages than advantages While there exist some potential with from their use, I would argue that the rapid progress of

communication technologies

On the one hand, over-reliance on modern communication devices can have some negative

impact on society To begin with, by allowing a person to make contact with another

instantaneously, these devices prevent people( them ) from in-person interaction For example, instead of social gathering in real life, people often engage in virtual ones which are facilitated by extensive online networks such as facebook, and google hangout In

addition, excessive use mobile devices can trigger addition overtime For instance, since the release of the common of mobile game Pokemon Go, there have been numerous report of traffics accident resulting from careless driver who are too focus on the game, while

handling their vehicles

On the other hand ( However ), I would argue that the aforementioned harms are eclipsed

by the considerable benefits that modern communication devices bring about The

introduction of devices like laptops, mobile phone couple with widespread access to the internet has enhanced productivity People are eschewing writing letters and travelling for meetings in favor of more cost-efficent and time-saving alternative like emails and live conference call to conduct business ( work ) As a result, significant savings are made by

eliminating travel and delivery

In conclusion, I think that the positive aspect advances in mobile technology out weight the negative ones
