THE MOBILE PHONE — FRIEND OR FOE?
The mobile telephone market is the largest consumer electronics segment ever. So, we should consider mobile phones as not just a technological marvel but a social phenomenon. What effect are mobile phones having on society?
Many of the millions of messages exchanged between these high-tech devices are not in the form of speech, but in the form of the written word. The Short Message Service allows phone users to type and send brief messages to each other. Because communicating in this way requires typing a message on the phone’s tiny keypad, SMS devotees use an abbreviated form of language that combines letters and numbers to make word sounds.
Some social commentators worry that the mangled spelling and syntax used in SMS messages is harming the literacy skills of young ones. Others disagree, stating that the SMS phenomenon is spawning the revival of writing in a new generation and giving the opportunity to develop a whole new style of language. In fact, the combination of text messaging and the internet means young people are doing a lot more writing. They have to be fluent and
articulate enough to pick up the style and master the in-words and the code of the genre.
While mobile phones are a useful tool both for socializing and for conducting business, they might make employees feel chained to the office. Workers feel pressured to be available, either to their employers or to clients, at all times, no matter where they are or what they are doing, which can disturb the people around them. In response, engineers have developed a building material for use in restaurants and theaters that can block out mobile-phone signals.
More than just creating annoying intrusions, these ubiquitous gadgets have the potential to become a public enemy. A Canadian study found that using a mobile phone while driving is as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol, because holding a conversation on the telephone is considerably more difficult than just talking with a passenger in the car. Even using hands-free devices does not eliminate the risk of getting into a traffic accident.
Another danger of mobile phone is that it is so addictive. Young people appear to view their mobile phones as parts of their bodies and may even start to panic if they are separated from their phones. In fear of being cut off from others, many keep their gadgets on all the time, everywhere. If they do not receive any messages on their mobile phones, they feel uneasy and irritable, and start to feel they are not needed by anybody. This uneasiness impels them to answer all incoming text messages immediately, which is often not necessary.
Ironically, mobile phone addiction can harm normal communication skills. Experts are worried that because of excessive use of mobile phones children are losing the ability to interpret the facial expressions, behavior and tones of voice of others. A consequence of this is increased aggressiveness among children, coupled with a disregard for others’ feelings.
Of course, mobile phones can be beneficial. Actually, they have often proved invaluable in emergency situations. Even casual use of mobile phones is not necessarily wrong, as long as this is done in a balanced way. It seems inevitable that our reliance on these gadgets will grow in the future. Like its electronic cousins—the TV and the personal computer—the mobile phone has the potential to be either a useful slave or a demanding master. The power to determine whether it becomes friend or foe is literally in the hands of the user.
mangle, v. – damage, spoil
spawn , v. – to generate, give rise to sth.
articulate, adj. – able to produce speech that is clear and easy to understand
in-word, n. – a word popular at a particular time, usually not for long
ubiquitous, adj. – omnipresent, seeming to be everywhere

Dear Mike,
Thank you for your letter. I was happy to receive it . It was interesting for me to read your news.
In your letter you ask me about my preferences related to the cinema. Of course, I can’t imagine my life without films . I don’t often go to the cinema because I can watch different kinds of films at home. They may be various: comedies ,thrillers, dramas, detectives, feature , documentaries films. I never miss a chance to watch a new blockbuster. I prefer feature, detective films, but also enjoy watching popular science films. The last film I watched was very interesting. It was a Russian comedy ,,The Batya,,. I liked it . It was funny , I laughed a lot and I could relax. I like special video and sound effects in films because they attract your attention.
I am glad that your friend was successful on the stage of the theatre. Do you like to spend much time with your friend? Is your friend reliable? What are your friend’s hobbies?
Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Alex
