Cell phone has its importance in our daily life but it is also true that night packages are destroying youngsters.
The mobile companies have every right to work out innovative packages offering greater value for the money to their customers. But they should not making profits by compromising on the interests of the young generation.
The telecommunication companies in our country have been inclined towards introducing new and attractive packages for youth. Even teenagers get addicted to them. All night call packages, SMS packages and others are making students’ life a hell. Scientists have confirmed an increased risk for malignant brain tumours, sleep disturbances, reduced learning capacity, concentration difficulties and psychological problems in every age group which uses cellular and cordless phones for more than 10 years. These clearly reveal how cell phone damages one’s health.
I believe if mobile service providers decrease the number of text messages or the quantity of calls in packages, our young generation will not be able to waste its time and will focus on their studies. My feeling is that these packages are more likely to spoil and ravage our youth than to do anything else.
