Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone

　　With the rapid economic development, the mobile phone has found its way into campuses and a host of students take advantage of this wonderful gadget to communicate with each other. This phenomenon gives rise to this question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the mobile phone?

　　It is widely believed that it greatly facilitates students' campus life. Many instances could be found to support this type of opinion. A graduating student in our university bought a mobile phone in the course of hunting for his job. He told me that through the mobile phone he could easily keep in touch with the employer of the company he intends to work with and would not miss any opportunities.

　　However, everything has both positive and negative facets. The mobile phone also has many disadvantages. For instance, the ringing of the mobile phone often disturbs the teacher's teaching and other students' learning.

　　Personally, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh the disadvantages of it as long as we don't interfere with others while using it.
