I would say mobile phones are a plague of insanity. Many would probably both agree and disagree with this!

The benefits of mobile phones are many. They keep you connected to people, allow you to do your banking, arrange travel plans, find your way to somewhere new, and find out lots of information within seconds. All great and I use mine for that too.

There are so many buts to the above. The number one thing that gets on my nerves is that people never get off their phones. They walk around like zombies-it’s rather pathetic really.

There is also the scourge that can be social media where people think it’s ok to be vile scum bags, just because they are hidden by a screen. While all this can be done on a computer too, most people are likely to have their platform of choice on their phone, which is always with them. This means the merry go round of vile nonsense is right there beeping in their pocket!

With the constant attention paid to phones, many people don’t look around them and use their attention span on friends, family, enjoying nature or whatever else you can do without a phone. There is a big wide world out there that is mostly great-go and experience it for real, rather than behind a screen-our health would be better for it.

While I could go on all day, I won’t as we don’t need to be negative all day! Remember that phones can be useful, but there are better things to be doing than using them all day!
