Mobile phones: A great invention?

Almost everybody has a mobile phone. But is it a great invention? I think there are both advantages and disadvantages.
It’s true that you can be in contact with everyone whenever you want, and you’ve got all you need in your pocket, but, on the other hand being in contact with the people far away from you may mean lose the contact with the people close to you.
It seems that nowadays everyone is isolated from the real world and answering WhatsApp’s always comes first. Is it good for us?
Also, a lot of teenagers are developing “nomophobia” (no-mobile phone-phobia); fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
But don’t forget the advantages of a mobile. Is like having a small computer. It’s light and comfortable and you can take it with you wherever.
So, what’s the solution? Having or not having one?
I think that the better solution in know when to use your mobile and when to be with the people around you.

Could you?
