Addictions

We all understand and appreciate the benefits that mobile phones have given us, the ease of being in constant communication with friends and family. However there are increasingly numbers of people especially young people and children who are becoming addicted to mobile phones and in particular the short messaging texts which can be sent, or more commonly SMS.

Phones are available anywhere and everywhere, in the specialist shops, the supermarkets and can range from the simple cheap phones to phones costing hundreds which have video capabilities, have cameras, e mail and include the popular instant messaging programmes which are accessed over the internet from the phone. It is though that now 9 out of 10 children own a mobile phone with billions being spent every year on purchasing the latest have to have models.
