Dangers Of Cell Phones

The use of mobile phones has tremendously increased as have the concerns of overuse of this technology. Some people will say that they cannot live without their cell phones, and that their phones are in their hands every second that they are awake. I personally think that this is absurd; we are awake for

Albeit pragmatic, cell phones have become overused, resulting in several major issues in our society. Everyone from kids in grade school to elders in nursing homes own a cell phone. They are becoming more common in our society each year. We have begun overusing our cell phones. Many people are even becoming addicted to their cell phone (South University). People are refusing to put their cell phones down, even when they are driving. In 2015, 3,477 people died and 391,000 people were injured, all from people driving while distracted by their cell phones. More than 650,000 people even admitted to being on

The cell phone originated for mainly the wealthy aristocrats like movie stars, professional ball players, and business elite, but as the years go by cell phones became more accessible to the common people. While the cell phones purpose to the common folk was mainly for emergencies quickly spiraled into the leading cause of injury and death amongst young adults. Over 60% of all traffic related accidents are due to drivers being distracted by a cell phone. Just recently there was a teenaged driver that was distracted by texting on his cell phone while driving and hit a church bus

Cell phones allow people to communicate with friends, family, and coworkers. However, they have also shown to make people less active, and have also made people literally addicted to their cell phones. There are also multiple studies being conducted on how cell phones may cause multiple types of cancer.

Emily is driving will listening to music on her way to school. She sees a little light come on and notices that some one is calling her on her cell phone. She looks down really quick to gap it for just a second. When she finally looks up she finds out that she ran a red. The next second she gets hit by an on coming car. Driving while using a handheld cell phone is dangerous and this is why some states make it illegal. To drive with a handheld cell phone has a law because the driver is not fully control of the car nor aware of its surroundings. First, driving with a cell phone can cause the driver to not be fully in control of the vehicle. For example, my mom was on the highway trying trying to drive with one hand because she was calling

Today cell phones have many downsides. Some of these issues are misuse of the device. The use of cell phones has made cheating a lot easier since students can look up correct answers, take pictures of assessments, and spread answers to classmates. Another issue of cell phones is the price they cost. According to the Federal Bureau of Labor and Statistics the average phone bill for Americans is 63 dollars per month. That adds up to over 760 dollars per year and that is only for one person. Cell phones cause financial stress on many families with the high price to purchase phones and phone plans. One major issue with cell phones that is extremely popular right now is texting and driving. “In 2013 there were 341,000 motor vehicle crashes that involved texting. Every day in American nine people die in accidents that are caused by distracted driving” (Schumaker 4). Lastly cell phones are also causing a lack of social interaction in today’s world. Now people do not have to meet up and talk face to face and instead they text or email. This lack of social interaction limits your ability to create personal relationships and meet new people. If cell phones were to be proven to cause brain cancer it would overall not be as bad for society as everyone would think because of those reasons.

Each and every day a cell phone user is putting their lives in risk while most of them don’t even realize it. Cell phones are not only affecting people’s health but its putting their life in danger also. People tend to zone out everything around them

Did you know that the cancer government, the federal communications commission’s says that hundreds of millions of Americans uses cell phones, and cell phones can cause you to have brain tumors? Did you also know that both adults and children spend most of their time on phone? When using your phone, it might give you a neck problem because in respect to cancer, concern focuses on whether cell phones might increase the risk of brain tumors in the head and neck area. But let me tell you something, as many of us use our phones daily, do we ever stop and think it might affect our body? No because we are so into social media and playing games that we don’t have time to think that it’s going to affect us. People say that phones are safe and other say they aren’t. I say that they can be safe at some time it can also depend what you do, and how long you use it for. Therefore, many of us get distracted easily and it’s pretty hard to get back on track. In 1973, the first portable cell phone was discovered, due to the cause that cell phones may not be safe at some time cell phones are also very important because in case of an emergency you will have a device with you.

Cell phones brings many positive and negative benefits to our everyday lives that we may or may not notice. A simple text could leave you feeling giddy and joyful, or sad and traumatized. A lot of people have no idea that a cell phone is a very powerful resource and digs much deeper into our minds and bodies than we can notice at a glance. My belief is that cell phones are a useful, powerful tool that can be very effective if used in moderation, but if not it could wind up doing more harm than good. Overall, cell phones are worth the risk as long as you don’t over use them and use them at the right times because, they offer many inventive ways to help us with our daily life, they are a more direct line

Life in the past was relatively different from today’s life. For instance, handwritten letters were the principal long-distance communication system, and oftentimes, it took several months before receiving a response.
