The cell mania seems to have marred our youth community. They are just stuck on to their mobile phones, either chatting or reading/sending messages. And it’s a sorry state of affairs to discover the youth becoming addicted to these lethal devices. And since when we got the IP phones, Internet enabled handsets, the time spent on these devices has substantially increased. The students are together most of the time in the day and chit-chat about every possible thing. But even then after reaching their homes, they start messaging each other about the things which happened in the campus, as if they are not going to attend the college next day or the clouds will burst, if they do not exchange their ideas on their cells. This is not only wasting their time and energy but also making them aloof. Fingers start aching due to constant use on small keypads and their mind is always revolving around their cell phones. Using mobile as an instrument for useful and emergency purpose is fine but its addiction seems to be more dangerous and harmful than anything else.
