Mobile phones have given people more freedom.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea?
It is common belief that mobile phones make people feel freedom. However, I strongly believe that mobile phone suppress people's freedom.
To begin with, mobile phone could cause contact problem. Due to development of technology, people can keep in touch with anyone anywhere and whenever they want. However, there is a negative side that these days, people tend to contact too frequently using instant messaging application on mobile phone. Therefore, the boundary between private space and social life is becoming more and more vague and people suffer from contact even if they have free time. In fact, among many reasons why many couples quarrel, contact is a major cause. Since people's opinions differ from person to person, the conflict between those who argue people should maintain contact every single day and who think contact disrupt their private time occur frequently.
On top of that, most people use social networking site and share their memories and pictures easily through the mobile phone. However, it is becoming a prevalent atmosphere that people make effort to show positive aspect of their lives intentionally and thereby, they want to get envy from other people. For example, in South Korea, many young people visit some attractions to only take pictures even if there is no entertainment facility. These trips are very inefficiency and show how much young people care their pictures which would be uploaded in social networking sites for show.
To sum up, mobile phone restrict their freedom because it make people pay careful attention to contact and share their lives.
