Both.
It means that you are always available and can be contacted by your loved ones, and you can contact them. there is no excuse for your teens not to call and tell you they will be late etc.
On the other hand they can also call you at all hours and ask for a lift home rather than get themselves organised before they go.
It's all perspective.

There's an iPhone app to answer that question for you.
I think that such type of technologies and inventions are made for human welfare , when one invents such type of things he always keep one thing in mind that all this is for our, and also for him should be useful..so it is totally up to us that how we use them. Mobile phone is very useful invention it can be used at the time of emergencies when no one is there for your help. But obviously if you will use it for wrong purposes it will surely be a curse rather than a blessing.
a device like mobile is widely used in today's fast life. It saves your time as well as money.The features in mobile are just endless and are very useful. One can store his datas in it and get them easily when need, now no need to carry phone directory or camera or mp3 player because you can enjoy all this in just a single phone... Cell phones are so used that even fail to realise its how important it is.
Your day starts with the alarm you set in ur cell phone last night...some even enjoy morning songs on FM facilties of cell phones...then you look to day planner in your phone and you get a reminder ..."Today's your friend's b'day"...thank God you have a mobile to remind you of this event otherwise your friend wouldn't have left you!...
Birthday surely needs a gift...second thing you do is just use the GPRS facility in your phone and order something for your friend via internet..Thanks again to this wonderful device....Now its party time....and you play some heart throbbing music on your cell phones and even store those incredible moments with your friends in the same multimedia device, Cell Phones.
this was just a example, how useful this small gadget has become in our daily life. Calling it a "curse" is totally rubbish as its like putting your fault on others head. People use it in a wrong way that doesn't mean it is useless. It means people lack the awareness in themselves.
Cell Phones are, for sure ,Boon for us all.....but if you use it in some wrong way than its your fault not cell phones.
Answer can look diplomatic but it is true.
Mobile phones are truly a double sword and their usefulness depends on how well one uses them. One can blow up money quickly on calls, texts, internet downloads/app purchases and uploads. If a teen is playing for the services then usually they are careful with how they spent the kbs or who they call. When parents are paying for the cell phone privileges, it seldom comes to one's mind how they are spending the internet plan or call minutes. Many parents have been blown by $1000 dollar bills at the end of the month and it is advised to filter/block certain kid's activities on their mobile devices. They can block video streaming and social media websites or in-app purchases using tools and application like PhoneSheriff So one mobile can be bless and curse for different persons.
Opinions:
some are blessing and some are curse.
Needing to write an essay about mobile phones can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you approach it. If you want to write about the history of mobile phones or the benefits of having a mobile phone, then it is relatively easy.
Science is the blessing as well a curse because people uses technology for there evil purposes (make bombs and arms to kill peoples and for robberies) as well as good purposes (making mobile phone for those who are far from his home).
it is a curse because it affects our health because of the radiation
Nothing in itself is a blessing or a curse. It is what is made of it by human beings that makes something a blessing or a curse.
blessing

is a curse is a curse
CONSUMER --- BLESSING WITH A CURSE PROFITERS --- ALL BLESSINGS
It is a curse
Science is always neutral; it is what people use it for, that is the blessing or curse.
It was a 'blessing' for the Greeks (and a 'curse' for the Trojans) because it enabled the Greeks to finally conquer the city of Troy.
Misery is to happiness as curse is to blessing.
