Technology is something that has changed our lives in the last decades. This includes cell phones, internet, laptops, etc. Since its improvement, technology as a whole has been dramatically changed and is now vital since it also makes lives much easier. Technology overload could certainly be associated with being anti-social. People tend to forget the outside world and the excitements of it because they are too concentrated on their devices and slowly start to become anti-social. There are several ways on how to best cope with technology overload; make use of it only at the work place, use the devices safely. Technology devices should only be used in the work place because some people focus so much on their work that they forget they …show more content…
This question was first exposed and analyzed by Alan Turing in 1950, a British Mathematician. Turing is well known for it's publication of Computing machinery and intelligence which includes it's test on whether or not computers could think. In order to prove computers intelligence, Turing elaborated a test which consisted on having two people having a conversation with another person and a machine without seeing them; they were expected to see if the humans could make difference between the computers and the real person. If the other person didn't notice, that would've consequently meant that the test had worked and that computers could think in a smart way. As said by the British Mathematician, he believed that computers could highly surprise humans. Nowadays, it is practically impossible not to be exposed to radiation, whether it's through cell phones or Wi-Fi devices. Everybody is aware that signal radiations are everywhere and that it's not simple to avoid, due to our daily lifestyle with electronic appliances and wifi. According to an article about wireless radiation, is the same level of exposure of radiation living in a house that has Wi-Fi 24/7 and talking on the phone for at least twenty minutes. It has also been proved that those who sleep with their mobile phones in the same bed, are probably those who are more exposed to radiation. Even though it cannot be fully prevented since is part of our lives now, it can slowly be reduced.
dy that shows the brain is sensitive to the phone's radiation emissions”(1) He also says that he would performer texting over calling. I will use this article to show ways that a cellphone can be dangerous due to all the chemical and equipment it uses and how it can affect our human bodies.
Even though this concept was proven to work, it is still not widely adopted by the employees. When given the task of not using any technology for work
6. Children are at an increased risk for adverse health effects from cell phone radiation. One
The third source of radiation is using cellular telephones and radio-frequency (RF) have denoted as a large effect of this type of radiation. "Early studies have shown that there is a relationship between using cellular telephones and the growth of brain tumors. Moreover, unfortunately even under laboratory conditions direct exposures to high energy of RF is difficult to quantify"(5).
The news has recently been highlighting the negative effects of radiation from cell phones and the detrimental effects it has on our body. However, have you ever considered the radiation from cell phones affecting your hormones as well? In the article, “Cell Phones, Hormones and Breast Cancer: Connect the Dots”, written by Sherrill Sellman representing Total Health Magazine strays from the norm and discusses the effects. Sellman highlights many issues regarding the radiation and electromagnetic field repercussions on the human body physiological imbalances.
Radiofrequency energy is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It is currently used in cell phones, and there is some concern in this area because radiofrequency energy has the potential to cause cancer. In cell phones, the radiofrequency energy is emitted from their antennas. The tissues closest to the antenna are able to absorb this energy, and because we generally hold our cell phones in our hands or to our faces, that would mean that radiofrequency energy would be absorbed by our faces or hands. This problem would not be as large if it was not for the fact that the number of cell phone users in just the United States has nearly tripled in the last fourteen years, going from 110 million users to 327.5 million, as estimated by the Cellular
vi. Radio frequency energy emitted by mobile phones are absorbed by tissues and can triggers the risk of brain cancer.
In Yakymenko’s study of cellular radiation, the participants’ brain’s were measured both before and after the study was conducted. At the end of the study, it was determined that radio frequency radiation from LTE 4G affects the brains’ neutral activity in the closer brain region, and also the remote region, including the left hemisphere. Yakymenko’s meta-study, was a study derived from multiple study’s regarding radio frequency and the health risks of radio frequency. He argued that the use of cell phones daily for twenty minutes, for a five year period, increased the risk of one type of brain tumor; which was not named. The effects of this risk could add health problems to individuals, such as headaches, skin problems, and also fatigue. Present day, smart phones comes with warnings. For example, the manual for the iPhone 4, Apple has stated that if the phone itself is kept in the pocket, FCC guidelines for safe exposure can be exceeded.” It also stated that “users are responsible for protecting
Cell phones use radiation but it is a weak form of radiation. Cellular phones are used by sending and receiving signals from
“The resulting distractions can have deadly consequences, as when cellphone wielding drivers and train engineers cause wrecks”Matt Richtel “Attached to Technology and Paying the Price.” I can totally agree with Matt Richtel because being one that had her fair share with distraction with technology and resulting in bad consequences. I was making some pancake once when then i had the urge to go on my phone which lead me to distraction which came to the outcome of my pancakes being burned and I had to make another one all because I lost focus. “When she's on it, you can holler her name all day and she won't hear, Mrs. Campbell said “. Matt Ritchel “Attached to Technology and Paying a Price”. Not to mention when my cousin was watching to tv i called her name several times and she was so hooked on tv she wasn't even aware of what was going on around her you can shout her name and she wouldn't listen I threw a shoe at her in order to get her attention but i got in trouble for throwing something at her all because i needed her
When they put it to the test it turned out to be misconcepted. The radiation just like cell phones were non-ionizing so theoretically it can not be harmful. Miriam the one in charge of this conspiracy said she “ took all the people who lived under cell phone towers and took their cancer rates after several years and witnessed no increase of rates”(Raftery 1). Articles that claimed cell phones as causing cancer seem to be threatening, however when reading them thoroughly the truth is revealed. For example an article about linkages between cell phones and cancer said ”recent study suggested a possible increased risk of glioma- a specific type of brain tumor- for the heaviest cellphone users.” After that assumption they said “but no increase in brain tumor risk overall.” They gave a persuasive reasoning but then gave the true
However there had done others study that express the connection between cell phones and different types of biological damage to human body. For example The European Journal of Scientific Research conducted a lab experiment with normal human astrocytes, an LG Verizon cell phone and MRET-Nylon chip. The experiment revealed that normal human astrocytes cell that were exposed to cell phone radiation at a room temperature without the MRET-Nylon chip decreased by 20% less . Igor Smirnov is one of the author of this experiment and he stated on his article that "It is well documented that cell phones, which emit electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range, can cause DNA damage, headaches, blurred vision, dizziness,fatigue, short term memory loss, neuralgias, tumors, sleep disturbances, aberrant brain wave activity and changes to cerebral blood flow, including altering the permeability of the blood brain barrier" (Smirnov, 2009). Smirnov statement and finding about the emission of electromagnetic wave from cell phones gives a lot to think. Even-tough it's a small amount of radiation that is being emitted from cell-phones, because they are held very close to the head at the end of a long term usage the risk of brain cancer and others health problems will
With cell phone usage increasing, many individuals have become concerned about the health effects of radiation from cell phones and cell phone towers. In recent years, various studies have been conducted to determine whether the radio frequency waves from cell phone towers have a detrimental effect on health. Current research has yielded inconsistent results regarding the effects of radio frequency waves, and while the World Health Organization does not view radio frequency waves as serious risk, more research needs to be done in order to be certain (USDA, 2009).
I am going to talk about the arguments about how cell phone radiation can affect our lives and whether these arguments are accurate or not. Cell phone radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has the ability to cause health issues. The radiation from this device can cause serious brain tumours, according to one study by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, which found that people who use their cell phone for more than 2000 hours have a higher chance of getting a brain tumour. The
Members of society understand, or at least have heard someone in their lives say, technology is becoming a distraction to the human population rather than an advancement. As technology has progressed, it has increasingly become a larger and more intergraded part of our everyday lives. Americans think that technology is huge today, but technology will be even more advanced in several decades. There are some clear positives to technology, such as the ease of long distances communication and the accessibility of entertainment. Despite those useful aspects and many others, there are many people that think technology has a negative effect on human interaction. The main concern many people are discussing is whether technology has negatively affected how humans socially interact. If those concerns are truly a problem, how can society fix them without stopping the advancement in technology.
