The Pros and Cons to cell phones

    So many people today have cell phones. These phones are available through many service providers, such as T-Mobile, Sprint, Cingular, etc. Cell phones come in handy when running late and you need to call and let whoever is waiting for you know you are running late. Cell phones are convenient when you are out and needing to make a call and do not want to pay to use a pay phone. Cell phones are becoming cheaper and if you do not want to sign a contract with any service provider you can buy phone cards which are cards that provide minutes to talk which range from $25 to $100 depending on the minutes you prefer. But, the only problem with using a phone card is, that you must use the card up within the 30 days of activating it or else any unused minutes will be wasted and unable to be used

    Even though there are advantages with using cell phones there are disadvantages as well. Cell phones may be useful majority of the time but there are also effects to using these devices. According to British military scientists cell phone transmissions disrupt the brain sites for memory and learning, causing forgetfulness and sudden confusion. The part of the brain, which would be affected, would be the frontal lobe.

    Although you may think the cell phone is very beneficial it reduces your ability to focus, calculate, and coordinate complicated activities such as driving a car. The U.S. Department of Energy found that using a cell phone severely impairs memory and reaction times. “Hands-free” mobile speakerphones cause even more crashes because they typically emit 10 times more brainwave interference than handheld units.

    As poisonous as cigarettes smoke and even harder to handle, the cell phone’s “second-hand” microwave and radio frequency pollution pose invisible but significant risks to bystanders particularly children riding in cars that transmit amplified cell phone signals through their steel structure. Children may be more vulnerable because of energy in the tissues of the head and a longer lifetime exposure, “said scientist Sir William Stewart.

    Dr. Nell Cherry has measured accelerated aging increased cell death and cancers caused by radio frequency microwaves from cell phones and their relay towers. With the brains electro- chemical communicators repeatedly struck by lightning-like cell phones pulses, this Ph.D biophysicist warns that headaches, fatigue, lethargy, nausea, dizziness, depression, and even Alzheimer’s can result from frequent or prolonged calls on cell phones.

    The more a person uses a cell phone the more cellular destruction and health risks they incur. For example, cell phones reduce the effectiveness of anti-asthmatic drugs, and retard recovery from illness. For those individuals who do carry cell phones it is best that it isn’t carried near ovaries, testicles, or the heart because of the risks it may cause to these areas. Cell phone calls should be limited to one-minute, six to 10 minutes a month. And it is best if you do not use cell phones while children are insight especially while in the car.

    Cell phones may be convenient and easy to use but along with using the cell phone you have to know the affects and the possible dangers caused by using these devices and the risks of using these phones in certain areas.
