Reflexión sobre los Teléfonos Móviles

Nowadays, it's really hard to imagine a world without mobile phones. We use them to chat with friends. For me, the main advantage of mobiles is that you can always use them. A mobile can access things instantly. You can find directions and take photos. You can send emails too. On the other hand, mobiles have some negative effects. Listening to people on their mobiles in public places can be really irritating too. In general, I believe that mobiles are useful, but I prefer to talk to people face-to-face. When I'm tired of my mobile, I can always switch it off.
