The effects of Mobile Phone on Society

Kinston k in his article argues, "Cell phones have become a necessity for many people throughout the world". I would agree with this statement by Kingston because in today’s society mobile phones have become a very important part of peoples life’s as most use mobile phone to keep in touch with their friend/family and even uses for their work or job purpose. Kingston also sates the development and improvement of mobile phone from being bulky, expensive and hard to use have advanced mobile phone to have alarm, camera, calendar, GPS and improve reception due to use of satellite, he also goes as far as to tell that mobile phones also "gives the user the sense of security and In the event of emergency, having a cell phone can allow help to reach you quickly and could possibly save lives".

The advancement in mobile phone has definitely change the way we communicate and has effected the way we live in this current society but telling that their are some threats using mobile phones as there has been researches showing us that mobile phones can damage your brain. Professor Colin Blakemore, Waynflete professor of physiology at Oxford University said that using mobile phones affect the function of the brain. Professor Blakemore said "nerve cells were influenced by electromagnetic radiation of the type produced by mobile phones".Professor Jim Penman, from Aberdeen University also argues that mobile phone can affect the brain, He said "we was using an earpiece attached to his mobile phone so that the handset was kept as far away from his brain as possible".

The use of mobile phone not only affect our brain but the relation between our families can be harmed because the use of mobile phone will cut down the face to face meting or talking to the families member and the children's writing skills may suffer due to the use of text messaging has been sated on Douglas S in his article.

VARK Reflection

When i completed my VARK questionnaire i found out the best method of learning style for me is visual style and i was not really surprised by the outcome because in the past i have done questionnaire like VARK and the outcome was the same. I do agree with the result i found out by doing these questionnaire as i prefer watching demonstrations of the subject i am learning or visualizing the subject i am learning which helps me understand more about the subject, on the other hand visual learning style does not apply in all circumstance of the learning because sometimes just using diagrams and other visual methods would not help me understand the topic fully which would mean that i would need more explanation about the topic, looking at my result the second highest type of learning style is aural, so when i do not understand a subject or a topic i always tend to ask someone to explain it to me hence the aural learning style suits me too. i do not like or prefer reading/ writing much hence reflecting on my result as it appeared as my least favorite method of learning.

Swot Analysis

One of ma main strengths is that I am very sporty person, I love playing cricket and belong to cricket club and now play rugby for the University.

One of my main weaknesses would be speaking or presenting any piece of work or anything in front of group of people.

I need to improve my time keeping in arriving to work or handing in my on time.

The main opportunities that I gain would be gaining degree in the subject area I like and a more skills and experience gained towards my future career path.

The Opportunity of learning new things and gaining experience.

Threats

The main threat is the loan I would be having once I finish my degree and the money involved in doing a degree immense for a student who just finished his degree.

The chance of failing the course would be another threat.

This is my learning line. By looking at this learning line it brings back memories of what i have achieved and my experience. Well i did my primary school at India and came to U.K when i was 13 which made a huge difference in my life and changed my life. I did my GCSE and decided to go to college to do BTEC diploma in IT where I spent 2 years to get my grades to get into higher studies, whilst i was at school and college I did various different part time jobs, which gave me different experience and skills, I gained customer service skills, communication skills, working in a team, leadership skills, improved my confidence in doing things and communicating. I loved playing cricket back in India and when came to UK i was able to take my cricketing passion to a all new level which was playing for local clubs and now training hard and trying to get into Essex county team, this year I had a great year of playing cricket as I got promoted to play for the my clubs first team .At present i am at A.R.U university doing computing degree and enjoying every bit of it.
