Conclusion
Cell phone addiction is a growing concern among college and high school students.
Whether or not cell phone use is effective is a debated issue. Although cell phone use has certain
useful benefits, they are quite insignificant. On the other hand, extensive use of it are certainly
harmful to people. Poor writing skills, low grades, detrimental effects on employees and
organizations, and adverse effects on health, wellbeing, and personal happiness are the important
concerns posed by the cell phone addiction. Cell phones are becoming a kind of modern-day
drug among the young generation that requires immediate attention. Developing self-control is
an important solution to this growing problem. Educating people, college and high school
students in particular, on the harmful effects of the extensive use of cell phone could also help
reducing the cell phone addiction to great extent. In any case, uncontrolled use of cell phones
certainly an evil.
