In this generation, cell phones are an important element in our daily life. When people use cell phones, they can do a lot of things such as connecting their friends anywhere and anytime, listening to music, playing games, and so on. Although the cell phone is very convenient, it still has some disadvantages. I think the following are the most serious among them. People probably can’t communicate with others face to face fluently, and their health will become bad. Worst of all, people will overly rely on cell phones.

The first negative effect is that people may not be able to communicate with others naturally and fluently in the real life because they are used to using cell phones to communicate with people. When they use Line, they only need to type a few words on the cell phones to express what they want to say. For a long time, they may be afraid of talking with real people. One of my friends says she doesn’t like to talk with people face to face. But when she uses Line, she can express whatever she wants to say fluently. Apparently, although cell phones can let us contact people easily, they decrease our opportunities to have direct contact with people.

Secondly, people’s health will be bad because they spend too much time using cell phones. For example, when people use cell phones, they would use the same pose. For a long time, their eyes and shoulders may be hurt. If they don’t pay attention to those problems, their health is likely to get worse. Some doctors suggest that we should take a rest after we use cell phones for some time.

Thirdly, people would overly rely on cell phones. No matter where they go, they must bring their cell phones. The problems of my two friends are good examples of such awkward situations. One always forgets to bring her cell phone when she leaves home. The other keeps looking for her cell phone all the time. When they don’t see their cell phone, they become anxious. I think this is a big problem because their mood affects people around them.

To sum up, although it is very convenient to use cell phones, we need to limit the time of using them. In the beginning, people will probably think it isn’t convenient to contain the time because it is not easy to change this habit. But I think we have to do it because we want to have good health. And most important of all, we want to have good relationships with our friends and family.
