In my childhood, when I read the folk tale ‘Aladdin’ Published in ‘One Thousand and One Nights” by
Frenchman Antonie Galland, I thought, “If I had a lamp like that, I would command the monster to do
whatever I wanted and it would appear in an instant.” But now I can’t believe that I became the owner of
such a wonderful lamp. Not only me, we all now have an Aladdin’s lamp called a mobile phone. The
internet is the monster of the lamp which brings anything in front of us with just a command. This internet has colored our black and white life.
A mobile phone is like a classic oil lamp, no matter how much light it shines, some parts below it remain
dark. Nowadays, this mobile phone has become our primary need. Only when we fall asleep does the
overtired phone get rest. Because, after waking up, even after going to bed at night, we kept browsing on
the phone for several hours and slowly but surely the radiation of this mobile phone keeps crushing our
brain. In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a warning in 2014 that mobile phones
“The electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones are classified by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Source: WHO ).” Studies have shown that
mobile use is particularly dangerous for children under the age of 16. But, parents easily provide a mobile
to a 2/3-year-old baby to stop her crying or feed her by turning on the video on a mobile phone which is
really scary. We may not know that this radiation inhibits the release of the hormone called melatonin,
which is necessary for us to sleep. An experiment was evaluated on 295 high school students aged 15–19
in Japan, “Insomnia and depression were assessed using Athene Insomnia Scales (AIS) and the Center for
Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), respectively. Mobile phones were owned by 98.6% of
students; 58.6% used mobile phones for over 2 h per day and 10.5% used them for over 5 h per day.
Overall mobile phone use of over 5 h per day was associated with shorter sleep duration and insomnia
(OR: 3.89 [95% CI: 1.21–12.49]), but not with depression. Mobile phone use of 2 h or more per day for
social network services (OR: 3.63 [1.20–10.98]) and online chats (OR: 3.14 [1.42–6.95]), respectively,
was associated with a higher risk of depression.”(Source: NCBI ). I read in the news that Gavin
Williamson told The Telegraph phones should not be “used or seen during the school day”, though he said schools should make their own policies.

The Internet can be said to be like a cloud, while white clouds are beautiful to look at while floating, dark
clouds change the color of nature. Two realms of knowledge exist on the Internet, and both realms are
freely accessible. By entering a state, one can acquire all the techniques necessary to achieve one’s
mastery. Here, we can easily find much information needed for our academic studies, research,
freelancing, language learning, cooking, and almost everything. But the delicacies of temporal passion are
on the other side of a different realm. This does not look poisonous, but the poisoning starts right after
having it. In this matter, we do not die but the peace of our soul dies. A survey by Telenor, the parent
company of Grameenphone, revealed that about 49 percent of school-going students in Bangladesh are
victims of cyber threats in one way or another (Source: Telenor.com ). Browsing unnecessarily on mobile
phones or scrolling through social media homepages to see the same thing frequently has become our
habit. That is, our subconscious mind is more focused on the phone, and this creates a kind of stress.
When we use social media, we send the real person sitting very far away. We are getting trapped in the
virtual world.
