In the 19th century people used letters for communication. But this way was very slow, and people couldn’t contact each other in emergency situations. There was also the possibility of letters being lost. But after the invention of the telephone in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell, it became easier for people to communicate. Then in the 1970s, the cellular phone was invented. It brought many advantages into our lives. However, although cell phones brought many benefits into our lives, they also have disadvantages.
The most important advantage of cell phones is that they can be used almost everywhere without cables or electricity. By using a mobile phone, you can communicate with anyone whenever you want and wherever you are. Besides this, if there is an emergency situation, mobile phones can be useful. Furthermore, you can get access to the Internet by using a cell phone. These days, the world’s most common means of communication is SMS. Cell phones include this system, so in this way you can communicate with someone more cheaply than by normal calling and the person receives the SMS within fraction of second.
A further advantage of using a cell phone is that you can reach people easily. Also, when somebody wants to reach you, he can get in touch with you by touching a few buttons. In addition, you can carry a cell phone easily. Furthermore, cell phones are not only used for communication, but they can also be used for taking pictures, listening to music, playing games, getting onto the internet, and so on.
