a mobile phone. Among all, there is this most recent and developing disadvantage called
nomophobia. It is the fear and state of anxiousness related to being without a mobile
phone. It is most rampant among campus and college youths although older adults are
getting into the mix.

DisadvantagesofMobile Phones:
Interruptions
Distraction
Isolation
Health problems
Loss of money
Addiction
1. Interruptions:
Mobile phones are a constant, always available, and real-time communication
avenue. Incoming calls, emails, texts or social media-related notification get into your
phone a few seconds after being sent. It is a convenient thing but how about all those
ringing and notifications when listening to a manager or CEO in a business meeting?
That sound does not interrupt you alone but also the speaker and other members in the
room. It does not end there; mobile phone interruptions happen at weddings, family
gatherings, movie theatres or offices. It is not only an annoying but also a frustrating
happening.
2. Distraction:
How could distraction to not be among the beds of using a mobile phone? By
mobile phones creating a real-time communication avenue, the compelling feeling to
make calls, text or even video calls while driving or working is very distracting. This
does not only come as a detrimental effect on work or class productivity. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say every day close to nine people die in road
accidents caused by a mobile phone-distracted driver.
3. Isolation:
Its true mobile phones make people connected and the world a small village. But
if not used carefully, it can isolate you from family and people around you. One of the
typical negative impacts is where you meet a group of youths seated around a coffee

table but not talking to each other; all are glued to their cell or smartphone screens.
Additionally, if a teenager or a partner is too much into their mobile phone, this can hurt
their relationship with the family or partner respectively.
4. Health problems:
Late night chats and mobile phone games playing on bright screen results to eye
problems. On a different note, network waves can result in some skin cancers. If you
decide to scrutinize the bad effects of using a mobile phone, there are even more. Eye
cancer, sleeplessness which causes chronic fatigue during the day, and infertility related
to Wi-Fi connectivity are among the worries.
5. Loss of money:
Being a mobile phone enthusiast, trend and fashion lover will leave you minus a
considerable amount of money maybe every three to six months. You want to have that
latest brand, that new and nice looking phone accessory; all result in debits to your
pocket. Not to forget airtime credit and internet charges every day.
6. Addiction:
When you wake up in the morning, do you find yourself checking your phone first than
anything else? If you do, this is an early sign of smartphone addiction. This problem may lead to
a serious addiction. This may include addiction to games, social media, etc.
Conclusion:
Defiantly mobile phone is so important now a days in life. It will help us at different time and
different place. But the too much use of mobile phone can effect negatively on personal life and
professional life. For students it’s important but we see now a days students were too much busy
in using mobile phones. And they also use negatively, so it’s directly impact on their whole life.
I want to conclude that we should use mobile phones but use it positively. Some students/peoples
were too much busy in mobile phones playing games or using social media. As a result they
can’t focus on their study/professional life. Due to too much busy in mobile phones
students/peoples are away from their families and friends. They don’t talk to their friends and
family because of too much busy in mobile phone.
