Mobiles: A Perspective

Nothing is without its flipside and internet-connected mobile phones cannot be an exception. The crucial fact is that this instrument has revolutionised life. Nothing in the history of humankind has empowered all and sundry even in a remotely comparable way as mobile phones have. It has raised too many out of poverty too. As a business tool, it has helped even the poorest ones. Most critically, it is a great support to lonely people. It is not that mobiles make people aloof; the fact is that most people hardly have any company as they are uprooted and unaccepted. Mobiles provide company to these unlucky people.
