Staying connected is in-- what with communication improving at such a rapid pace and mobile phones turning from a luxury to a necessity, and all makes and ranges of mobiles available to suit one's needs-- they are an integral part of our lives.. so much so that the fear of being out of mobile phone contact has been defined, and the term coined for it is nomophobia.
So what if you are on a cruise and there is no "network coverage"? :D Unthinkable? Thats what these little electronic devices are- the boon and the bane of modern times.
What if there is suddenly an alert on certain fatal effects of mobile phones(which is not a very unlikely situation!) and suddenly mobiles become a thing of the past?..TORTURE?? This certainly defines what an important place these devices, that were introdeced just around a decade ago, have occupied in our lives!! Isnt it time we give a thought to the fact and try to reduce their importance and consequently our addiction to them?
The world is mobile, after all...but is it all white?

True...there has never been an evolution as rapid as the mobile phone revolution (ignoring the recent 'Egyptian Revoulution')
Surely, cellphones have completely changed our lifestyles and paved the way to many impressive inventions (such as the recent 'tablets') but if we look at the ill effects of it..they are worse! The fact that our beloved 'high-tech cellphone' played a major part in the 26/11 attack is but one example!
