Are Mobile Phones Taking Over Our Lives?

The headline of the article I have read is "Are Mobile Phones Taking Over Our Lives?". The article is written by Bethan Morgan and this is published in "British Council" on the 14 of July.

The article is devoted to problem such as dependence on the phone. According to the author in nowadays most of people use their smartphones every time everywhere. 

The author writes that use of a phone has lost its previous meaning. Earlier mobile phone  was used for receive calls and text messages. But in our days we use it for playing games, reading articles or checking new messages in social networks. The author says that people prefer chatting in Facebook, but talking to people ‘in real life’ is less preferable. Further the author says that using of old, basic phone  is really enjoyable. All you could do it on this phone is send text messages and receive calls. Therefore you spend more time in "real life". You are free from the Internet. You talking with real people and reading real book/newspaper.

The author comes to the conclusion that basic phones are better than smartphones. But people are so depended on their phones that they can't imagine their life without it. 

I personally don't have a smartphone and my life is really normal without it. From my point of view a smartphones have more disadvantages. I think that there is no need to overpay money for this kind of technology. We can use the Internet from the computer and talking with friend in real life.

Writing a story.

Do you know how your parents met? Recently I asked my parents about how they met. After they story I were agaze.

In the 80's my father served in the army. Mother studied at medical university. What could be a relation between them? They were at a distance of thousands of kilometers. They did not know anything about each other. And now I want tell you the most interesting part of the story.

Father's service in the army were placid. As it should be he woke up every morning, carried tasks and went to bed. So it has been for many months. Life was monotonous. Until the end of service remained few months. Seemed, what can go wrong? However, something very bad had happened with he. One day father went on military studies. After a couple of hours, when father carried out next tasks, he suddenly fell to the ground. One of his mates could tell by the slow soft whistle of his breathing that he had fallen unconscious. 

The next episode, which is remembered by the father was in hospital. Exactly in this moment my mother appears. Most of those who enroll in medicine university have completed the requirements for practice in a health profession such as medicine, nursing and pharmacy. Mom had practice as a nurse. After medical check doctors told to the father about appendicitis. And who could think, that mother will be appointed as the nurse for the father? Fortune or a matter of chance?

Mom took care of my father every day. In lenght of time, relationship between father and mother became stronger. They constantly communicated, mother didn't moved a step from father's side. Father reactivated and went back in military unit. But story doesn't end! They communicated through letters and after 6 months, when mother practice ended, father came for her.

Since the beginning of this history passed 29 years. My parents are still together. I think, it is destiny. Otherwise, why it happened that way?
