As is shown in the picture, a group of young people are having a dinner party. Strangely, instead of eating or chatting in front of a variety of delicious dishes, each of them is holding a mobile phone and staring at the screen. It seems that they are so obsessed with mobile phones that they even ignore their beloved friends. Unfortunately, this is without exaggeration a typical get-together in the current era of mobile phones.
Mobile phones are indeed of great benefit to all of us. One of the most obvious advantages is that we can contact our friends and relatives more easily and conveniently. However, the excessive use of mobile phones is reducing face-to-face interactions with people around us. To be exact, mobile phones have occupied so much of our time that we even don't have time to talk with the people around us! In this sense, we can say that the mobile phone has separated us from each other and kept each other at a longer distance.
Personally, I hold that we should bear in mind that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to face communication. So put away our mobile phones hen having a get together with our friends! Only in this way can we really enjoy the gatherings.
