Mobile charges memory

Oh shit! I do not remember when I need to take this medicine this week; also I forgot to wish my sister yesterday on her anniversary. All this is happening to me because my mobile is not working since last two days. How do I take this for another 24 hours till the time my newly ordered mobile handset arrives!?
This is the kind of life lived by people in modern age. Dependency on mobile phone has zeroed the power of memory. A person carries his entire world in this small gadget. Be it his personal life, day-to-day activities, office work, reminders to take care of one etc. all depend on mobile phones. Addiction to mobile phones is also a labelled disease in foreign countries and has caused problems especially for students. There have been instances of physical and mental illness that is caused by reliance of students and young individuals on technology. They have become victims of depression or anxiety when they try go unplugged or without mobile phones even for few days. Cell phones have also become centre of daily life routine starting from alarm set on phone that wakes one up in the morning from sleep to e-books that one reads while going to sleep or listening to music by plugging ear phones while going off to sleep.
Major changes in human behavior have been noticed at emotional levels as well. Earlier a family gathering used to be a normal thing when it was birthday celebration of a near and dear family member. But, nowadays from wishing good to family members personally, things have shifted to telephone, whatsapp, facebook mobile applications and other tools developed by advanced technology. People have become obsessed with people who are far off than talking to those available near to them. Also, more than warmth in relations, mobiles have made human beings machine that follows routine by wishing people around. People wish each other not because they are well-wishers for them, but rather they have selfish motives behind wishing people and they prefer to be in good books by remembering through mobile phone application to wish them. It just takes internet connection to stay connected with entire world and show one’s presence. No one has imagined about harmful electromagnetic microwaves emitted by mobile phones when they are operated using mobile data or wi-fi connection. They have increasingly become cause of concern relating to ill-health of individuals ignored by many.
The web of social media that has received so much hype because of cheap handsets in the market, has made us less of social beings. We have stopped living in the present because we are so much concerned about making memories. The charger that we use to charge our mobile phones has actually started working as our memory charger without which we cannot survive. The so called listening device now is filled with so many functions that have made us addicted without us realizing it.
Everything has its flip and flop side. Similarly while mobile phones have been criticized to have gained utmost importance in lives of people, mobile phones have also made lives of people simpler and convenient through its technological advancement. In today’s digital era, banking services, shopping for fulfilling daily needs from grocery purchase to wardrobe designing to booking a cab service, all are taken up through mobile applications. In situation of an emergency, there are mobile applications available that directly connect to police or to contact numbers of person who is readily required to be present at that situation. Mobile phones also facilitate data sharing and help in creating a social structure. Easy bill payments, money transactions and in solving various problems when visiting somewhere personally becomes difficult due to busy work schedule.
As the topic suggests, Mobile has truly become charger of life in today’s world and its impact has been varying depending on individuals.
