"Telephones may be useful but they are an intrusion into our lives"
As early as the beginning of the 20th century, telephones have integrated into a part of our everyday lives. They remain at the root of our community, so whether they are a good thing or not remains of the utmost importance to society.
Obviously, telephones can be extremely useful in some situations. Telephones could be life-saving if you were in danger, and had to make a SOS call. Communication has become revolutionary because of telephones, with it being extremely efficient, and also more environmentally-friendly, as now less paper is used to write letters (the main form of communication before telephones were introduced). Now it is only a few clicks of particular numbers, and the communication starts. Lastly, it is very cheap. Letter writing costs lots of money, with stamps, postage etc. Telephones, although they cost money, it is only a very small sum needed to call, so this is another benefits. All of these things show how useful telephones are, but of course, with anything, there are always some disadvantages using a telephone.
Telephones may also be seen as an annoying device, even though they are rather useful, however I find them not to be that annoying. There is only one sole exception, which is marketing. Retailers can target customers much more easily now, due to telephones. These calls can really irritate people, as sometimes, people are simply not interested in the marketing calls, as the thing the retailers are trying to interest you in are not the things you would be usually interested in. People sometimes think telephones are annoying, when they are actually referring to things like IPads and IPhones. The meaning of the word ‘telephone’ has become increasingly misunderstood ever since technology has begun to advance.
Overall, telephones are very useful and handy. They really have made the world a quicker and easier place to live in, as well as being life-saving in rare cases. Although marketing calls can be annoying at times, I conclude that
