ASSIGNMENT ‐V (2024‐25)
Read the following passage
It is an indisputable fact that the world has gone too far with the innovation of new technologies such
as mobile phones, the internet and so on, due to which people are able to tour the cosmos virtually
sitting at one place using their smart devices or other technological gadgets. Though mobile internet
access is oftentimes hurried and short, it can still provide common internet features like alerts,
weather data, emails, search engines, instant messages, and game and music downloading.

Due to the easy access of smartphones, communication has been very effective and instant. People
are able to convey their message all around the globe to their loved ones without spending hefty
sums of money. Adults are always fond of such gadgets and they always welcome and adopt such
new technology readily. Further, young people have been able to broaden their minds and improve
their skills by doing research on the Internet. For instance, they use smartphones to look up any new
word they come across. As we know that most of the universities have online teaching provisions
and smartphones assist the students to complete their assignments on time. The mobile phone has
been a lifesaver for a lot of people in case of an emergency. Likewise, the use of smartphones can be
of vital importance in preventing crimes in society by providing information to the security forces in
time.
Nonetheless, for the young, the use of mobile phones can be like an addiction and they can misuse it.
Young people are also prone to getting involved in undesirable activities on the Internet. This might
have an adverse effect on their academic performance. Therefore, young people should always be
monitored and made aware of its bad outcomes.

Also, a major contributor to its popularity is the availability of prepaid or pay as you go services
from a phone shop or an online store. This allows subscribers to load text or airtime credits to their
handsets by the use of their credit cards, debit cards or by buying a prepaid card from the network
they subscribe to. This plan also doesn’t commit a particular customer to a contract. If the prepaid
card is not that appealing to you, then you can opt to subscribe using the pay by month plan.
