Today, as most people use mobile phones a lot, there is the debate on whether or not mobile phones have given people more freedom. Some might say it is obvious that people enjoy more freedom due to the invention of mobile phones, while others might say it has reduced personal freedom from the people. In my opinion, it is partially true that mobile phones have given more freedom by allowing people communicate with others whenever they want. However, it is also apparent that using mobile phones make people less free from others by reducing their private life.
To start with, people can call anyone, any time and any where by using their mobile phones. This fact means that people can enjoy more freedom than before by getting touch with others, no matter wherever they are. For example, I have a girlfriend who lives in the city far from my hometown. We cannot often meet each other because we live in different city from each other. However, by using mobile phones, I can communicate a lot with my girlfriend. We send text message and call to each other very often whenever we want. Due to the mobile phone, I feel that I am close to my girlfriend, which is impossible if I cannot use mobile phones. This demonstrates that people enjoy more freedom by communicating with others as they want.
On the other hand, it is also true that people cannot be totally free from other people due to the mobile phone. Sometimes, too many calls from other people make people feel less free and hard to protect their personal life. From my personal experience, I am usually happy to reply for my girlfriend’s calling or text message. However, when the call is too often, I feel I could not have my private life. Even when I study in library, I should reply to her calling. Sometimes, I should talk to her even though I am in deep sleeping. I cannot deny that this is sometimes irritating me. In this respect, due to the mobile phones, people cannot have perfectly private life.
To sum up, the statement that mobile phones have give people more freedom is true only in some part. Mobile phones allow people call to others whenever they want. However, at the same time, people cannot be free from others because of mobile phones. Like this, I believe that mobile phones have two sides about the issue on freedom of people. | |
