There has been plenty of debate as to whether or not cell phones have holistically upgraded our lives. However, in light of their recent damaging reputation, it seems as though cell phones might soon be losing the battle against its detractors.
There were about 304.7 million cell phone units sold last year alone. Add that to the statistics of previous years and you’d be dumbfounded with the results. There are more than 203 million cell phone users in the United States alone. In Australia, the number of mobile phones already goes beyond the country’s population. People usually prefer to have two mobile phones in use, one for business and another for personal matters. With an exceedingly high popularity and demand among the masses, it’s hard to think about them being withdrawn from the market for the following threats they impose.
Alzheimers and Parkinsons are just some of the diseases being attributed to prolonged cell phone use. But above these, the possibility of getting brain cancer is what most health-conscious individuals worry about their fascination with these gadgets. Mobile phone electromagnetic radiation is said to destroy the protein barrier of the brain and make it susceptible to viruses and toxins. Aside from that, it is also said to destroy red blood cells and cause hemoglobin leaking, which consequently harms the heart and kidney. These harms eventually manifest as an elevated blood pressure and a decrease in the body’s immunity.
In addition, cell phone radiation is also suspected of causing another form of physical threat, in the form of car accidents. According to a study conducted by the Harvard University, cell phones are predisposing factors to 200 vehicular deaths and millions of deaths per year. Furthermore, it is also insinuated that electromagnetic waves prove detrimental to the environment’s health and may cause freak fires in gas stations, as it can unwillingly ignite gas fumes.
Authorities do not question the relevance of cell phones today. But they do, however, express their concern about our excesses and carelessness. In this age of globalization, we cannot fight the tide. But we must know how to ride it, for it is the only way that we can keep our selves safely afloat despite the strong current. So instead of preoccupying ourselves with the latest model releases and its features, we should begin to enrich ourselves on preventive tips and the proper use of cell phones. By using the internet, we can gather enough intelligence to help us live a better, healthier mobile phone using life.
