Are you for or against mobile phones being dangerous?please give reasons :D(for my essay)thanks x
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. You can read it complete here
As with all pieces of technology, Mobile Phones cannot be considered dangerous just by itself. Mobile phones CAN be dangerous - that is, if used erroneously. It can be beneficial because of its portability. It's a communication device you can use to send messages to someone and call those people away from your current location. Apart from its typical functions, most PDA/Smartphones can be used to access the internet through Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) or a network-based access point (like 3G and HSPA). It simply solutions the communication needs of businesspeople and the common mass (consumers). Though the benefits are great, it can still be used for other, more dangerous things. Take for example an IED (Improvised Explosive Device). If someone rigs a set of explosives, a fuse and a mobile phone, he or she got him/herself an IED that he/she can trigger remotely with a cellphone. Also, on a lighter but related note, most modern PDA/Smartphones (like the Nokia N95, etc.) have GPS capabilities. That means, if the unlikely chance of some virus gets installed in your PDA/Smartphone, then a hacker can easily track where you are as long as you have an eye-to-sky (direct contact with the sky) GPS connection. Added to everything, a cellphone can be dangerous if one does not know how to mask information. Imagine a child answering a cellphone call from an unknown person and giving his or her address to the stranger.
