Because there are many good reasons to own a cell phone. A cell phone can be a lifesaver or emergency tool for survival. When you see a serious car accident, it's a good time to call 911. And also, you can receive text messages or have a mobile conversation with someone anywhere and anytime in the world. In today's mobile phone, you can use it to receive and send e-mails, go to the internet, take photos, even watch the TV news. However, there are some bad things about cell phones.
