Miss Use of Mobile Internet
MISUSE OF MOBILE PHONE & MOBILE INTERNET

The mobile phone. An electronic device which can be found in the possession of most teenagers nowadays. Due to the arrival of mobile phones communication has become a lot easier and the world has become a much more interactive place. However there is a good side and a bad side to every story and in this case the misuse of mobile phones has caused many people to take action against mobiles. However most of you will agree with me that the mobile phone is a very useful tool that we just cant do without. But in most schools the use of mobile phones is banned. Young people with mobiles are persecuted. I think that this should not be the case. Some different plan should be implemented to prevent the misuse of mobile phones, instead of outright banning of the use of mobile phones

How Safe Are Mobile Phones?

Millions of people own a mobile phone these days, and ever since they have been around scientists question the fact of they are safe or not. Do they cause tumors, earaches, mercury poisoning? All these health risks are mentioned in every article I found. But nowhere could I find anything that was sure if mobiles did cause all of the above. This is where science fails us. The problem is that mobile phones are still too new to know the long-term effects on human. Mobile phones give of a radiation of radio frequency round 10MHz to 300Ghz. But so do other appliances. Why does mobiles especially get put in the picture of being hazardous? Soon it will be clear whether the radio frequency emissions from mobiles cause health effect.

Drivers who use there mobiles whilst driving are the only "health risk" that can be proven, the drivers get distracted and lose control over the vehicle. Technology invented something for this, hands-free sets. But now the question is do those hands free sets really solve the problem? Researchers now are looking at if the hands free sets don't cause other problems. A report from the magazine "which?"

    Barth states that hand free aids also “handle incoming calls easily with the press of a button or with voice” (Barth). Not only that Barth supports her claim with pros she also supports it with cons on Hands Free-aids . Barth truly believes that Hands Free Aids can cause “cognitive distraction, your eyes are on the road but your mind is on something else” and also “outgoing calls is distracting especially if the device doesn't recognize your command” (Barth). In additionally Barth argues that part of the reason we have distracting driving is not only Hands free aids but “ Software using GPS or Bluetooth to determine when a vehicle is in motion” is also a distraction(Barth). Barth says GPS or bluetooth can be a distraction to the drivers by sidetracking them from the road.…

    One of the main reason cell phones might have the potential to harm us human beings are because of a form of electromagnetic radiation called radiofrequency energy. Electromagnetic radiation can be categorized in two types: ionizing and non-ionizing (National Cancer Institute). Here is why this is a problem, exposure to ionizing radiation is known to increase the risk of cancer. However, in regards to non-ionizing radiation, like microwaves and ovens, there is currently no evidence that relates non-ionizing radiation to a risk…

    Cellular phones are now an integral part of modern telecommunications. In many countries, over half the population use mobile phones and the market is growing rapidly. At the end of 2009, there were an estimated 4.6 billion subscriptions globally. In some parts of the world, mobile phones are the most reliable or the only phones available. The world now has over 5.6 billion mobile phone users. Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, a form of non-ionizing or electromagnetic radiation, and tissues nearest to where the phone is held can absorb this energy. The majority of the radiofrequency energy emitted by a cell phone is absorbed by the hand and head of the user. The total energy absorbed is a function of the specific absorption rate (SAR), duration of use, and the manner in which the cell phone is used. In addition, people are concerned that cell phones might have the potential to cause certain types of cancer or other health problems. Possible damage in our tissues, increase in the risk of brain glioma and risk of tumors by heating the cells in the head and neck are three possible cancer-causing effects of radiofrequency (RF) energy of cell phones. The use of speaker mode or a hands-free device, a cell phone with a low SAR value, and reducing the amount of time spent on the cell phone are three ways to reduce RF exposure.…

    Great resource explaining how mobiles phones are low power radio devices that transmit and receive radio frequency radiation. There is a concern that this might promote or induce cancer. So far there is no clear evidence from epidemiological studies of a relation between mobile phone use and mortality. The only established health hazard cited by independent groups comes from the use of mobile phones while driving. The risk is the same for a drunk driver and also when a person is using a cell phone can cause an accident.…

    Cell Phones=Cancer?

    Pawl states in his editorial, “Cell phones are more dangerous than cigarettes!”, in Surgical Neurology, “The long term use of cell-phones was leading to brain tumors and was more dangerous to health than smoking cigarettes” (Pawl 445). To actually believe that over time the use of a cell phone is more harmful than the tobacco and nicotine inhaled by smoking is a shocker. Although the cell phone itself may not create and spark some sort of new cancer, it is said that cell phones do increase the chances for gaining other health problems (Pawl 445). Pawl also brought up something called EMF’s (electromagnetic fields). Electromagnetic fields can cause all sorts of problems to the human body from nausea, dizziness, headaches, etc. With this sort of exposure from a cell phone over a long period of time, even starting at a young age has a much greater risk. Also over time exposure can cause things such as ipsilateral, glioma, and acoustic neuroma (Pawl 445).…

    Most of us are neither pilots nor astronauts. We are not trained to steer large, hurtling hulks of steel and gasoline while manipulating small computers. So there's something blindingly obvious about the risks of texting while driving. Yet research shows that driving while simply talking on a cell phone--including using hands-free technology--can prove dangerous, even deadly. And even though the common assumption is that hands-free technology has mitigated the more dangerous side effects of cell-phone use--it's just like talking to someone sitting next to you, isn't it?--a series of 2007 simulator tests conducted by Strayer seems to indicate the opposite. A passenger acted as another set of eyes for the driver in the test and even stopped or started talking depending on the difficulty of conditions outside the car. Meanwhile, half the drivers talking on a hands-free phone failed,…

They are used heavily today as a way to connect socially, as well as a way to keep up with e-mail, a calendar, or other useful applications.

    Cell phone use in cars is very common in the U.S. This is mostly due to the fact that technology is readily at our fingertips. Also, since lots of people commute to their jobs each day, they use their phones on the go to check their email or perform other tasks. Many people use either a hand-held cell phone, Bluetooth headset, or some sort of in-car, voice activated technology, such as SYNC, which is offered in several Ford cars. A recent study done by the AAA Foundation for traffic safety found that sixty-one percent of drivers surveyed said that they had occasionally used a cell phone while driving in the month before they were interviewed, and one in six of those people admitted to doing it regularly.1 Of those who did it regularly, sixty percent used a hand-held phone while thirty-four percent used a hands free phone.1…

    As the government’s team, my teammates and I strongly support the motion that schools should ban the use of mobile phone among students.
