The popularity of mobiles seem to have been affected neither by public annoyance at their intrusion into the lives of others, nor by the various health scares that have surfaced.

Use of a mobile while driving or riding can be positively dangerous and accidents are caused by the drivers talking on mobiles. If reports are to be believed, constant use of the mobile could be a factor in the early onset of Parkinson's Disease. Life was full of leisure, adventurous and free in the good old pre-mobile days. For all the talk about connecting people, the mobile has reduced real intimacy and person-to-person communication.
