The cellphone has proved a boon for maintaining one's personal and social connectivity every minute. It has added to the mobility of the Indian masses. One can talk into it the whole day.

The cellphone is more than a phone today. There is hardly any activity that cannot be handled by this small magic box. Sending money overseas has become as easy as drawing money through an ATM. In fact, the tiny machine is a combination of a phone, camera, radio, and internet. No wonder then, tomorrow we may come upon a handset that can telecast programs. Letter writing has lost its charm and sending SMS is easier and faster. It does not impose any restraint on the selection of words.

At times, it is our lifeline.
Cellphones have been a boon to us, as every minute a person has an important thing to convey or receive. It is a common sight to see a young boy or a girl with legs. astride motorbikes engaged in whispers while earning the abuses of passers-by.

What are more, cellphones pose a great health risk Mobile phones and relay towers of mobile signals radiate radio frequency energy that heats up tissues which may be possibly harmful to human health? Particularly pregnant women, heart patients, and children are at great risk, but at present who cares? Therefore, one cannot afford to be careless with the small machine in our hand or pocket.
