February 6 is the World Day without Mobile Phones. It was initiated by French journalist Phil Marso in 2001. This day aims to raise awareness of the impact of mobile communication on our lives and encourage people to reflect on how often they use their phones and how it affects their health and social interactions.

Mobile phones have greatly simplified communication, allowing us to stay connected anytime and anywhere. However, with the increased use of mobile devices, negative consequences have also emerged, such as addiction, poor sleep quality, and a decline in face-to-face communication. On this day, people are encouraged to refrain from using their mobile phones for at least a while to realize how they affect our lives and health. It can also serve as an opportunity to spend time with family and friends without distractions and reflect on how to balance the use of technology in daily life.

Supporters of this day urge everyone to consider what mobile communication gives them and what it takes away, what benefits it brings to society, and what harm it may cause to a person's health, both physically and mentally.
