The Negative Effects of Mobile Phone
Voice mobile telephony has become widespread since the 1990s. The compass of the modern people is the mobile phone. It is used for expressing movement and its direction. For a mobile phone user, moving around in the city becomes a series of spaces used for keeping contacts and taking care of things ongoing. People call from certain places to certain other people without the fixed line. This unique technology gives people the chance of sharing information from anywhere. It also means living in real time in the same rhythm with someone. Mobile phone is changing every aspect of our lives. However there is growing concern of using mobile phone. It is my belief that using mobile phones may affect the health of people who use them, disturb the peace in public, and invade people’s private lives.
First of all, using mobile phone has the negative effect of affecting the health. The scientific data are exploring the relationship between radiation from mobile phones and brain disease. “Research carried out by scientists in Finland suggests radiation from mobile phones causes changes in the brain. It is the first time that scientists have looked at the effects of mobile phone radiation on human cells rather than those of rats”(BBC NEWS, 19 Jun 02 | Health, “Fresh fears over mobile phones”). From above we must understand that research did find a higher incidence of brain tumors on the same side as phone usage. “Further scientific studies have revealed that mobile phones may compromise memory and slow reaction time thought to result in the staggeringly high percentage of accidents that are caused by driver distractions”(Michael Elstei, “Are mobile phone dangerous?”, Eternal Health,167) Fortunately the evidences also indicate that people who use cellular phones for as little as once a day had decreased levels of brain disease. Avoid using mobile phone when driving is another tip.
