ARE BLACKBERRIES AND IPHONES ACTUALLY LIKE SMARTPHONES?

It's clear that nowadays the new telephone technologies increasingly invade us. Because technology has developed a lot and every day there're more advanced mobiles. Is it necessaty and appropriate that all of us have a Blackberry or an Iphone in our hands?

Obviously, mobile phones are useful to keep in touch with others; what's more, we can connect to the internet, check our e-mail and so on.  All of this can be useful, however, what isn't normal is that adolescents aged 17 are attached to their mobile phones day and night.

Some parentS feel bad if they don't buy and advanced mobile to their daughters or sons, because they won't be fashionable.

On the one hand, as already mentioned above, having a mobile phone is serviceable in many situations, we can be in contact with someone in seconds when we need it.  In additions, we can take photos, listen to music or listen to the radio, make videos...

On the other hand, there're more disadvantages than advantages, if we refer to students. Despite all the benefits, students are hooked on mobile phones, for instance, in class they're more interested in receiving a message from another student thant paying attention to the teacher. Furthemore, at home they're neither concentrated on their homework due to the message alerts, the comments on networks... In spite of being banned in class, theachers don't realize that the students spend their classes with phones in their hands.

To sum up, at least in high schools teachers should control the use of phones in class, moreover, all that is reflected in the students' marks.  From my point of view, the new technologies are necessary in our stressful world and in our quiet worl too, nevertheless, these changes shouldn't affect our daily life, It's more important to have good friends and spend the day with them thant stay at home with the phone saying that we're studying, but actually we're hooked on the computer and the phone.
