▶ Your Answer : Some people think that mobile phones do not have significant impact on people's freedom. However, in my opinion, mobile phones have improved freedom for the following subsequent reasons.
To begin with, we can communicate with others more freely. People can contact each other at any time and anywhere via mobile phones because literally they can carry phones with themselves. Also, they can even express their thoughts to the public without any obstacles by using SNS. According to a research which is conducted by Sun Monn University, people feel more free after the invention of mobile phones. In a survey, more than 200 university students were asked whether they feel free when using mobile phones or not. The result is very surprising. Over 85% of them answered that they feel more free with mobile phones. Some of them even said that when they forgot to bring mobile phones with them, they felt anxiety. This poll reveals that people believe that mobile phones can provide more freedom.
On top of that, various applications offered by mobile phones allow more freedom. Numerous kinds of applications are served on the mobile phone platform like games or musics. This new service can give more enjoyable moments and freedom to people. For example, my younger brother began to enjoy learning English after using mobile phone. He was not good at English because he thought it is too boring. So I helped him finding educational applications on mobile phone which can help memorizing vocaburaries. Thanks to the applications, memorizing became easier for him and he finally found English interesting. This shows that mobile phone can give him more freedom in learning a new language.
In a nutshell, mobile phones made people more free by giving them a chance of every-where-communication and enjoying interesting applications. In this regard, I contends that people are becoming more free thanks to the development of mobile phones. |
