Mobile mania
In the fast-paced world of today, mobile phones have become a necessity for most of us. But at the same time, mobile phones have become a curse for society, particularly camera phones. These are intruding into the privacy of individuals.
Mobile phones in the hands of school students pose a serious problem. Dirty jokes sent via SMS or obnoxious pictures sent through MMS are bankrupting society?s future generation morally. Such video clippings are affecting vulnerable young minds. Moreover, the short message service (SMS) is generally used for sending jokes. This, no doubt, is a waste of money.
In today?s society, where crimes and instances of juvenile delinquency are rising at an alarming rate, it is the duty of the parents to prevent their children from going astray. They should not buy mobile phones for schoolchildren. Again, the government should ban the sale of camera phones as they violate privacy.
As in the rest of the country, mobile phone users in the Northeast are often misusing the technology for nefarious activities.
Hopefully, the government will look into the matter and deal with the issue seriously.
