People are substituting, on a grand scale, the valuable experience of chatting with people face-to-face with simply sending them a text that consists of a few words and abbreviations. The real time reaction isn’t there; there is a sense that there is a lack of reality, which has been replaced by a virtual reality. This evidently results in people who don’t know how to act when they’re not using their cell phones.

Health
There is little evidence supporting the claim that excessive cellphone use can cause or worsen health problems, but it is undeniable that it does affect users in many ways; physical and mental. Germs are everywhere, and with the amount of times people interact with their cellphone under different circumstances and places, germs are very likely to transfer from one place to another. Research from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine at Queen Mary in 2011 indicated that one in six cell phones is contaminated with fecal matter. Under further inspection, some of the phones with the fecal matter were also harbouring lethal bacteria such as E. coli, which can result in fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cancer, specifically brain cancer, and its correlation with phone use, is an on-going investigation. There are many variables that affect the likelihood of hosting cancerous cells that includes how long people use their phones and how frequently they do so. There has been no clear evidence indicating the link between cancer and phone use if used moderately, but research from the World Health Organization said that heavy usage will more likely increase the risk of developing glioma tumours – a common benign tumour, a rare but deadly form of cancer. Although a relationship has not been legitimately established, research is continuing based on leads from changing patterns of mobile phone use over time and habits of phone users.

Psychological
There are countless research on mobile phone use and its influence on the human’s psychological mind, indicating support for mobile phones as good and bad. Referring to the possible negative outcomes of mobile phone use, we may encounter stress, sleep disturbances and symptoms of depression, especially in young adults. Consistent phone use can cause a chain reaction, affecting one aspect of a user’s life and expanding to contaminate the rest. It usually starts with social disorders, which can lead to depression and stress and ultimately affect lifestyle habits such as sleeping right and eating right. Contemporary technology such as the mobile phone is a well-known agent in making a person lazy. Laziness can lead to areas in a person’s life that are left unsatisfied because the user’s attention is aimed at the phone and time is not given to the areas that need little to maximum surveillance. This is also a leading cause in depression as well as productivity.
