Small essay for writing practice

Recently mobile phones are widely used by a lot of people. Although there is a controversy, I think mobile phones have provided more freedom to people. There are two specific reasons why I think mobile phones give more freedom.

First, mobile phones free people’s communication from a fixed physical location. Even though a telephone enables a person to communicate with another at distance, the person has to be at a specific location that the telephone is installed. On the contrary, with mobile phone, one can make or receive phone call while moving places. Thus, people can work more efficiently overcoming the limitation of physical location. For example, important business decision can be made in a car, or urgent meeting can be arranged in an airplane.

Second, using a mobile phone, one can put/get useful information to/from Internet with respect to a location in a timely manner because recent mobile phones provide location-free Internet connection. For example, navigation service in your mobile phone helps you to find the shortest or the least congested path to the destination when you are traveling a new place. Besides, you can post a movie clip during a travel to Internet through a mobile phone. The media is immediately shared among people who are connected to Internet, and it provides more realistic information. So, people don’t need to rely upon the mass media such as newspaper or news broadcast. This implies that mobile phone serves as a new media service platform, and enables people to freely distribute useful information without the help of mass media.

In conclusion, mobile phones have been developed for free communication in terms of location, and helps people to work more efficiently. Furthermore, it frees people from the limitations of current mass media. Personal news or useful local information can be easily shared with the help of recent mobile phones.
