Well there you have it folks, cell phones are bad for your health. No I’m talking about crazy drivers that drive around with a phone stuck to their ear, mouths running a mile a minute, and their common sense sitting on a table at home.
Although let’s be honest, they’re a real pain too.
Cell phone antennas use high frequency electromagnetic waves to communicate with base stations. The radiation emitted at these frequencies can’t break chemical bonds in your body’s cells, but there could be other biological effects. Some researchers are concerned because cell phone antennas concentrate their energy in a very small region against the head. If this is indeed a problem, children are at highest risk because they have thinner skulls than adults—and these days often have phones of their own.One study in the Annals of Neurology found that cell phones affect the brain’s electrical activity. Fifteen young men were exposed to cell phones that were turned either on or off. When the phones were on, neurons on the near side of their brain were slightly more active. The effect lasted for at least an hour. (source)
I’ve never much cared for my cellphone as I’m not keen on the lack of privacy, but this makes me even more leery about it. Ah well, I listen to music and play games on it more than anything else so I don’t feel too threatened.
But shesh, once word of this hits the general populace there will be even more texting going on then ever before! People don’t seem to realize that just because you’re not gabbing your jaws it’s still rude to be texting in the middle of activites. Classes, funerals, conversations - please have manners damnit!
Interesting and Educating all about cell phone dangerous,ofcourse cellphone is wounderful product for communication but that cellphone effects you body parts seriously because Frequency that receives and releases is high than the actual,so due to high frequency waves our body gets diseases.one thing when you make a call to any one make sure that call is connected then only keep it beside your ear because when you make a call or you are receiving a call the frequency waves of the cell phone is very high then the normal so network station gives maximum frequency waves to connect a call,so if you keep it before the connected the other then this may occur some brain disease that scientist has conformed.so my request is that please make sure that you are following this safety step.now-a-days its very hard to be with out cell phone.
While I agree with many of the issues you raised in your post.
Here are 10 rules I offer to be a polite cell phone user, and people will really appreciate this.
1. Do not talk on your phone in an enclosed public place, especially a quiet area like a library.
2. Do not speak on your cell phone while on an elevator with other passengers.
3. If you must use your phone around others make sure that you keep the volume of your voice to a conversational level.
4. Do not use a ring tone that is likely to annoy others. Although these can be playful, in a business environment they are far from professional.
5. When using speakerphone in a car, politely let person on the other end know who else might be listening. Better yet, offer to call them back when you get to the office.
6. Turn your cell phone off when you are in a meeting. There is nothing worse than a cell phone going off during a meeting.
7. Do not answer your cell phone while you are out to dinner or lunch. This holds true if you are on a date, with colleagues, etc.
8. This may seem strange, but do not take pictures with your cell phone of people who you do not know!
9. Your cell phone is supposed to supplement your business communication. In other words, do not use your cellular phone just because you have one.
10. Do not multi task by making calls on your cell phone while you are at the bank, the mall, or anywhere else where you may have to communicate with others.
