These days, everywhere you turn there seems to be someone on a mobile phone. You can’t escape them - it seems we are the generation who have succumbed to the mobile. Many people regard their mobile phone as their ‘lifeline’ and technology ever-advancing, people are finding it more difficult to live without their phone.
