With the speedy advancement of the technology level, human beings are now being brought to an unprecedented era they have ever experienced. And mobile telephone, emerged as one of the most popular invention, seems to be an indispensable device that we cannot live without it. But while we are being attracted by such fashionable technology, are we also aware of its negative side? ,could mobile phones be an invasion of people’s privacy? Any phone is an invasion of privacy, in the way that it rings. The constant ringing demands immediate attention until it is answered.

It is also possible for criminals to “clone” phones, or for them to steal your phone and modify the chip, allowing your details to be used outside your network area. Hackers are now seeing these devices as a new way of making money, a new way of getting data about people. The cell phone hacker can even access your camera phone and speaker, to keep track of your every move. Mobile phone Spying is an invasion of privacy too. With these eavesdropping devices, anyone, anywhere, at any time can spy on text messages or even record cell phone conversations of another person without the owner of the cell phone ever being aware. Virtually anyone with access to these eavesdropping devices can tap into your phone in a matter of seconds and be privy to all your personal information, or live conversations.

If you have an emergency and you are in the middle of nowhere but you have a mobile phone, you can be rescued within minutes or hours. This is a big advantage because even if you do not have signal to call, the 911 call has signal almost everywhere. They are an useful thing and many people may say they could not imagine a world without mobile phones.
