Cell Phones!
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using cell phones?
There's so many advantages compared to disadvantages. If you take a smartphone for example, the amount of apps that are available is astonishing. There's everything from music to fitness, educational to online gaming. Some can be a little pricey but at the same time there are so many free apps available.
Your phone is also a camera in your pocket and lets not forget... it's a phone! The most overlooked feature it seems
The only disadvantages I can think of would be, like every other portable device, charging the battery. A lot of phones tend to break easily when dropped and it's possible that you can get viruses on the phone too (although there are internet security apps available).
Well so many of us feel like we cant live without our phone...me being one of those people. However we can and have lived without them. They also make relationships less personal because people will send text instead of calling.
The disadvantages are you need to buy one and then charge the battery, every other aspect of a mobile device is advantageous !
Cellphones are generally advantageous. Regard cellphones as the most convenient form of communication during EMERGENCIES, i.e. accident, death, robbery and you need to call 911. For this one main reason, cellphones are hard to cast away. There are no disadvantages if you learn to keep it that way, back to the basic; returning to the original cellphone use just before smartphones came into the picture.
Choose the lowest monthly plans and refrain from using apps, and if you are in a country where Pre-paid load is available, then go for it and keep your load for important calls and messages. Charging is not a problem, emergencies rarely happen, just learn to use it as how it really is for.
One more thing, emergencies are not just exclusive to communication, but also when you need to take a picture/video of important occasion and a regular camera is not available.
That's just it! For personal relationship, I'd go for some other medium like FB, e-mail, and Skype. So far it works great.
I have a cellphone and I use it that way, I didn't see any reason to cast it away.
In today's world it's next to impossible to find a pay phone when you are out and about, so a cheap prepaid phone is a must for emergencies.
