The invention of handphones has certainly changed our lives. Having a handphone is just as common as wearing a watch on your hand or a ring on your finger. Who does not wear a watch or a ring. Somebody even have more than one handphone. But remember we have only a mouth, we can't possibly pick up two handphoness and talk to them at the same time.
Modern handphones allow you to be contactable almost at all times. With the auto-roaming feature, even if you are far from home in a different time zone, you can still reach your loved ones or vice versa.
Most of the handphones have features which allow you to take pictures, listen to music, surf the internet, read news and reply emails, book tickets, enter some contests, check bank balances etc. There are simply too many to mention here.
I am a rather simple person. My handphone does not have the photo-taking feature. I can't surf internet, read or answer emails. My handphone has only a purpose ie remain contactable most of the time to my clients, friends and loved ones.
There is an option in my handphone which I make full use of. It is the "screening" feature. If no phone number is shown on my handphone display, most likely I will ignore this particular call. There has been cases reported in the papers that some unknown calls came from overseas and in the end, the receivers have to pay for these overseas charges. There are also scam calls which waste our time and money. The worst is we have a chance being cheated by these calls.
While handphones certainly offer us lots of conveniences, there are some cons and we have to exercise some caution in using this invention.
