Mobile Phones on College Campus

Nowadays many students and professors are reluctantly coming to terms with the increasing popularity of mobile phones on college campus.

 

¡°Mobile users account for over 40%of all students from a number of colleges surveyed in Beijing while the number was 10%in 2001 according to a report by studies on China¡¯s Youth magazine

The report also indicated that each mobile user on a college campus spends an average of 3000 yuan per year on the high technology with some spending as much as 5000 yuan.

However,the figures may vary greatly between different grades and different colleges.

 

Generally speaking, students in higher grades buy more  mobiles because older students are more sensible to what is popular on campus. Lower grade students are busy adapting to a fresh life and don¡¯t have time to pay attention to campus trends.

College juniors and seniors also have more social activities. They enjoy the availability of communication While searching for post graduate jobs.

 

Another characteristic of college mobile consumption is that college students in big cities tend to use mobiles more ofen than those from smaller towns.

Short messages have become a new way to express one¡¯s love to his or her lover. Especially for some timid guys. With mobile phones , they can say love to girls who may be in their hearts for quite a long time

 

In a random  survey, 19 students in one graduating class in the Foreign language Department at FAC admitted to using mobile phone whereas only 8 students in Anhui University have

¡¡¡¡Some kinds of mobile phones popular with college students

 

 

Most students with mobiles are ¡°pure¡± consumers with no incomes. They rely on parents to provide them with the high-tech toy.

 

80% of college students say their parents pay for their mobile phone expenses. Only 8% say they earn the money through a part time job or scholarships.

 

This is very natural, compared with adults, young people are more concerned with and responsible to all kinds of vogue in society.

 

And as the rapid development of science and technology has made mobile phone a very common method of communication, college student won¡¯t stand aside.

Mobile phones have brought us convenience , but they also bring many troubles and reflect our moral level.

Scene 1: In the library, quiet with only steps and sounds of reading books ,suddenly, the ring of someone¡¯s mobile phone broke the peace .Ten minutes later, It rang again. Everyone in the library stared at that guy.

Scene 2:In the class, a few students are sending messages in spite of the teacher¡¯s  being in the front, and suddenly a specially ring rises...The teacher nodded his head.

Scene3:At dusk, in the dormitory, without talking ,everyone is expressing  his or her feelings by message.

Scene 4:In the street in the campus ,two bicycles collided, both guys were too busy sending messages to pay attention to others.

By a research in Xiamen University, the quality and appearance of mobiles are the first two  considerations of the students . The service after sell has also become a focus , Therefore, 76.3% of the students possessing mobile phones choose to buy mobile phones in special stores.

As for the expense ,54.2% choose to spend 1000-2000 yuan on it.It indicates that college students are not in persuit of expensive ones without consideration.

Among all the students ,4.9% choose to buy mobile phones on line. It shows that college students are easy to accept new things and keep up with new trends.

From the brands chosen by students ,Nokia ,Motor and Sansung are the three most popular mobile phones in the campus.

About the function, most students say they use mobile phones to express their feelings more than meet the needs of work.

From the research paper above , we can see that nowadays college students pay more attention to show  their personality and stress more on the quality and service.

Although as a new  high-tech invention, the mobile phone really has brought us great changes and convenience in communication but without exception it also brings a lot of social problems.

First, it seems more convenient to communicate with others, But in fact, the chances of talking face to face with  each other are greatly reduced. And it may result in  the feeling of distance between people. To us college students, the four years in the campus are precious for us to practise our ability to communicate with others. Numerous short messages may make us lose some kinds of chances of practice.

Second, there will be another way for some information harmful to be accepted. We college students sometimes are not mature and sensible enough to identify them and thus will probably be influenced.

Third, the expense of a mobile phone and every month¡¯s cost of messages and phones are a burden not light to a family, especially for those who come from poor areas. And sometimes we are persuaded to compare with others which will make the burden heavier.

And another drawback is that short messages form an imaginary world. We make friends that we may have never seen through short messages . Since our ability of self-control is not enough, we may be absorbed in a world isolated from the real world.Yet we may influenced by some advertisements without consideration.

Many students are always too busy sending short messages in the class to listen to what the teacher is teaching.

Though it is hard to say whether the influence mobile phones have made in our life is good or not , we are following the trends unconsciously. So what we should do is to keep calm

and self-control
