The usage of mobile phones is perhaps as Antisocial as smoking. As smoking is banned in some specific places so does the mobile phones should be.

Although smoking and mobile phone usage are poles apart to relate on a common grounds of causing hinderance in a social setting. However there is a potential for hamperance of social harmony in a crowd.

In my experience ,I have confronted with some situations where some activities of this context have degraded the dynamics of a group. For instance when a person smokes in group of people in which even a single person dislikes smoking could disturb the social dynamics of the herd,

In the similar way when there are people who disengage themselves from a social gathering by immersively starring at a mobile screens would cause a similar dissatisfaction to other people as that of smoking in a public gathering.

Moreover these days due to addiction with the mobile phones have severly disturbed the social harmony of relationships, It is high time that we realize and take some time off from usage of such devices in atleast some specific places to continue our meaningful relationships

To conclude the use of mobile phones is not as socially hazardous as smoking in certain social places. However, I do agree that there is a need of ban for the usage of mobile phones as that of smoking because of the habituation of excessive usage with such devices have admittedly affected the social life of today’s generation.

Smartphones are supposed to be eliminated from the public such as in common means of transport, in movies theatres, or in restaurants while some people argue that mobile phones should be used everywhere. From my personal perspective, this gadget has several crucial advantages and disadvantages.
To begin with, firstly, this technical marvel could become a target for thieves. Nowadays, a mobile phone is known as a high-tech innovation that is applied to numerous artificial intelligent inventions, so it costs a huge amount of money, especially the latest version. Therefore, people going outside with such gadgets could potentially encounter with the risk of being robbed. Secondly, using smartphone publicly could bring disturbance to others. To be more illustrated, in the cinema, any ringtones or light from mobile phones would attract viewers’ attenttion and make their concentration on the film wanders. (Degrade the experience)
On the other hand, thanks to this technical device, users could save time due to working remotely and everywhere. For example, employees could check and answer emails while traveling to offices or keep tracking and discussing with coworkers when being a business trip. In contrast, people could not work effectively and conveniently like that. Moreover, smartphones could be fashion accessories for users to show characteristics, especially the Millenials. This high-tech gadget is not only a device to experience the latest technological initiatives but also to express energy and personal passion.
To be concluded, smartphones, one of the greatest inventions in the world, offer numerous benefits for users but at the same time, a heavy price could be paid if people do not use them properly in public.

Please help to give me an IELTS band
