PHASE I      :Intriduction-Suvitha

Mobile phones are undeniable today. Almost everybody has a mobile phone. Formerly, it only functioned as a portable mean of communication. The function of a mobile phone has developed into entertainment. Furthermore, mobile phone has also come into the schools. However, it has both positive and negative effect on students. This essay argues that mobile phones will bring more negative than positive effect for students. Of course, students use it as a mean of communication and sometimes for an emergency call if they need it. Yet, they would use their mobile phones for both bullying and cheating. Also, mobile phones will make students lost concentration during their study. 

PHASE II     :Mobile phones and its uses-Suhana Salim

Today uses of a mobile phone can be compared with a computer. Modern mobile phone has all the facilities that a computer had. Mobile phone usage is taking a lead to a computer that it is small in size, light in weight, and can operate with minimum power.

Its component is cheap though mobile phone has limited capacity and speed. It is handy in dialing, talking, making video film, e-mailing, sending pictures etc.

They are used by students at all levels, doctors, engineers, service man, jobbers and common man and woman in their day-to-day activities. Today business is next to impossible without a mobile phone. Starting from aviation industry to service sector, the mobile phones are playing an important and vital role.

There are lots of uses of mobile phones. Mobile phones are an integral part of our daily communications. All mobile phones have the ability to voice and simple text messaging services. Their small size, relatively low cost, and many uses make these devices very valuable to advocates who are increasingly using them for communication and organization. On the other hand mobile phones especially smartphones are used to watch movies, play games, listening to music or to browse the internet as well.

                                            

PHASE III    :Mobile phones and internet abuse- Neena Susan Jose

The harmful uses of mobile phone are also misleading our teenagers. Parents should consider the age of their children before buying them mobile phones. The latest addition is Internet on mobile phones. Now our teenagers are prone to use Internet on mobile for downloading adult songs and videos. They may involve themselves in different types of crimes. Parents need to strengthen the family ties and teach moral values to their children. They should make sure that their kids use mobile phones in a proper way.
Our mobile operators are selling SIM cards without verifying customers' identity properly and that leads to various mobile related crimes. It has become an essential tool for organised crimes. Our government should make a strong law to compel mobile operators not to sell SIM cards to customers without proper verification. Our electronic media shows programmes on many irregularities and problems of our society; they should make programmes on this issue too.

PHASE IV    :Mobile phones and health- Jyolsna

Mobile phones communicate with base stations using radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If RF radiation is high enough, it has a ‘thermal’ effect, which means it raises body temperature. There are concerns that the low levels of RF radiation emitted by mobile phones could cause health problems such as headaches or brain tumours. 

PHASE V     :Mobile phones and accidents- SissyP

Mobile phone use while driving is common, but it is widely considered dangerous due to its potential for causing distracted driving and crashes. Due to the number of crashesthat are related to conducting calls on a phone and texting while driving, some jurisdictions have made the use of calling on a phone while driving illegal. Many jurisdictions have enacted laws to ban handheld mobile phone use. Nevertheless, many jurisdictions allow use of a hands-free device. Driving while using a hands-free device is not safer than using a handheld phone to conduct calls, as concluded by case-crossover studies, epidemiological, simulation, and meta-analysis. In some cases restrictions are directed only at minors, those who are newly qualified license holders (of any age), or to drivers in school zones. In addition to voice calling, activities such as texting while driving, web browsing, playing video games, or phone use in general can also increase the risk of a crash.

PHASE VI    :Mobile phones and time- Yamuna

The teenagers or students are greatly influenced by the evil side of mobile phones. Instead of using the mobile phone for their benefits some students or teenagers are seen wasting their valuable time indulging in listening to songs, playing online games, spending hours after hours in social networking sites, sending offensive messages, watching pornographic videos etc. Again some physician claims that excessive use of mobile phones can be health hazardous.

PHASE VII   :Conclusion- Gayathri P Nair

The Mobile phone is the most popular and useful gadget in present time. Though there are a few disadvantages of mobile phones, we cannot deny the usefulness or necessity of mobile phones in our day to day life.
