- People live in a society that they can receive calls at any time nowadays. Some people say that mobile phones are overused, and it causes some negative effects to the individuals and society, but in my opinion, it brings more positive impact on both individuals and society.
- There are two main disadvantages that people may hold. For individuals, workers have less individual spaces because mobile phone makes them hustle to work. We can often hear complaints from the internet that people feel really angry to get the phone call from their employer in the off time and for worker, they often have to comply with these demands. And for society, some hold the view that personal calls at any time can be a factor that cause some dangers, such as making it easier for some people to be cheated by liars, especially for old man. The liars are attempting to extract personal information or financial resources. This can lead to a decline in trust within society.
- However, there are actually some positive aspects that may have more value than I mentioned above. The main one that we all may appreciate is that mobile phone makes our lives get more convenient than ever before. People can get some important information as quick as possible or they can get in touch with someone they need instantly if it is emergency. Similarly, it is also a helpful way for government to provide more services for the people around the city. In my city, city management is always on call in case there are some requires from residents. For example, if residents inform the city manager about noise disturbances caused by construction sites at night, they can promptly address the issue.
- All in all, although there are some disadvantages and dangers, from my perspective, the advantages and benefits that calls can be answered at any time often outweigh any drawbacks. Science aims to improve people’s lives, I think we should try to accept the developing of technology and keep a positive attitude toward it while thinking the drawbacks behind it.

The ability to answer work and personal calls through mobile phones at any time has both positive and negative effects on individuals and society. However, I believe that the positive aspects outweigh the negative ones.
One of the key positive effects is the increased accessibility and connectivity it offers. Mobile phones allow individuals to stay connected with colleagues, clients, and loved ones, promoting efficiency and personal relationships. For example, professionals can promptly respond to work matters, increasing productivity, while individuals can provide support to family and friends when needed.
Additionally, mobile phones provide convenience and flexibility. With the ability to answer calls anytime, individuals can better manage their personal and professional commitments. This balance reduces stress and improves well-being.
However, constant accessibility to calls can invade personal space and blur work-life boundaries. Excessive phone usage may also contribute to social isolation and a decrease in face-to-face interactions.
In conclusion, while there are concerns regarding work-life balance and social interactions, the increased accessibility, connectivity, and convenience provided by mobile phones offer significant advantages. It is important for individuals to find a balance and set boundaries to mitigate the potential negative effects while harnessing the benefits of this technological advancement.
