Today, keeping a mobile phone is a necessity or a fashion statement. These days we can see students of even 8thand 9th standard demanding cell phones from their parents.
In fact, it is not the right age for them to keep cell phones as there is no urgent use of mobile phones for them but as their fellow peers have cell phones, it creates an inferiority complex in them. As a result, they force their parents to buy cell phones. Having a costly mobile phone with extraordinary features and dashing look is a common story among the college guys.
Mobile phones among the college students is a merely a commodity that adds to their fashion statement.
