The writer uses article Handphone as a Modern Lifestyle to
analyze active and passive voice.
Handphone as a Modern Lifestyle
Handphone
has become the new technology of today’s lifestyle. As a proof, children as
young as 7 years old are already using handphones. Thinking back at a decade
ago, handphones are still bulky and expensive and they are only used by some
people such as businessman and the rich. Today, handphones are largely used by
most of us. It has been the primary needs of our daily life. In this rapidly
changing world, technology is growing and handphones are getting affordably
cheap.
There are a lot of important usages we can get from
handphone. Let’s take a look at some of its positive effects. As its primary
usage, of course, it is use as a way of communication. We can communicate
anywhere we want as long as it has signal. For example, in Indonesia there are
a lot of people working in other countries; handphones enable them to
communicate with their family, especially for people living in the countryside.
Short Message System which is also known as SMS is very popular among the
youngsters. This is because SMS is much cheaper than making a call, thus makes
them able to communicate without fearing of spending too much expenses.
Multimedia Message System which is also known as MMS is very useful because we
can send photos or pictures easily. Handphone can also be called as our
personal secretary. It is already embedded with a lot of business applications
such as calendar, reminder, calculator, notes, Microsoft office, and now it
already supports Wi-Fi so that we can access to email, messenger and browse the
web everywhere we want. These effects increase our society’s interaction and
economical growth, and easy internet connection network brings us closer to
what’s happending in the world around us. Another purpose is, it can be used as
a source of entertainment such as game applications, radio FM and music player.
We are no longer required to bring walkman and other game consoles, thus affect
our moods as a tranquilizer to relax.
Besides of its positive effects, there are also negative
effects too. As we all know, the spreading of pornography is getting more and
more uncontrollable and handphone can be use as a tool of this reason.
Pornography can be transfer easily through MMS, Wi-Fi and GPRS connection. This
pornography influences the moral of the people. Some people are concerned that
internet could be exploited for serious crimes. It also can be use as a way of
cheating; there are some cases where students are using their handphones to
cheat by sending SMS to some friends, another case is, teachers and students
find it rather disruptive as it distracts the concentration of other pupils
when they are using phones during lessons and starts to ring. This negative
effect wasted teachers’ time by scolding pupils and slowed the class
progression. The other effect is that it can give some negative effect for our
health, due to its radiation that is emitted while using handphones. This might
affect our health issue as it expose us with more radiation and extensive
exposure of radiation leads us to injuries that damages our tissues and cells
in the body. It can also be use as a way of communication at the wrong hands,
for example criminal communicates to other criminals to break the law by doing
criminal acts. These dishonorable acts bring great effects in our society.
As we know that children may be more vulnerable than adults
to the potential risks of using mobile phones. Therefore, it is important for parents
to monitor their children’s activities on the phone. In my opinion, handphone
is an incredible invention with great usages provided we, as users, are
completely aware of the negative and harmful effects that is affecting
ourselves and the society. We have to be responsible for our behaviours, so
that other people does not feel uncomfortable or even opposed by our acts.
