Today practically the whole humanity, including researchers, physicists and specialists are worried with cell telephone impacts on our health. As a matter of first importance, it is because of the day by day, also, a hourly increment in the quantity of phone users in a geometric progression, and the over the top development in the quantity of base stations, which are an immediate wellspring of radiation.
We cannot imagine our life without cell phones. It is the best and easiest way to reach you, recipient. Only one click and your message is delivered. You can communicate with your family, friends and colleagues wherever you are at the moment: thousands of kilometers are not an obstacle no more. Everything seems to be great; cell phones facilitate our life significantly. But are they as good as they seem?
It is better to be aware of the consequences ahead of time and then, as a private matter, whether or not to listen to the advice. Especially because people do not become the adult and intelligent ones at once, it is usually preceded by a period of childhood, with the method of "trial and error". Cell phone users are usually more likely to complain of frequent headaches, constant somnolence and causeless irritability (Hill). All these features are characteristic of vegetative-vascular dystonia. Also, under the influence of harmful electromagnetic fields generated by a mobile phone, a human body reaction occurs, the so-called immune system voltage. The body's resistance to diseases and other external harmful influences decreases in this case. If you are using a mobile phone as a regular phone, you use it regularly and for unlimited time. Then your immune system is under severe threat, and pretty soon you can feel the cell phone harm to their health on their own.
The scientists found that cell phone communications, however, like any other source of electromagnetic radiation (microwave oven, computer, cordless telephone or a television), is biologically active, in other words, harmful to human beings (Hill). However, mobile phones harm is disproportionate to other devices as a mobile phone during its work time has electromagnetic radiation activity in the vicinity of the eye and brain. Moreover, the level of radiation does not go to any comparison with other technical means, the damage of mobile phones exceeds the detrimental impact a computer, TV or radio ten times (Hill). This radiation affects both the individual structures and organs directly or indirectly as well as the nervous system. All this signifantly affects the general functioning of the human body and especifically the nervous, endocrine and cardiovascular systems.
It appears like harm from the phones is constrained by term of calls. In any case, even a broken mobile phone, simply lying alongside the bed, can hurt and meddle with your sleep. Actually, electromagnetic radiation of a cellular phone even in standby mode influences adversely the focal nervous system, upsetting the general change of rest stages. In this way, this radiation might bring about some breakdown of the human operational hubs that control body capacities, for instance, the shift of attentiveness and rest, or moderate and quick periods of rest.
It occurs that the danger to people can not be caused by the radiation from the phone only; the mobile phone can be harmful during thunderstorms since they are the conductors of electrical discharge that can make lightning strike a person. Moreover, it still rests dangerously with the cell phone turned off. There is an allergy to mobile phones, and it is no longer a joke. It may be caused by the different reaction of the human body to radiation generated by cell phones.
So what shall we do to make our cell phones less harmful to us? Firstly, make phone calls outside. If the weather allows, during a call, better go for a walk with a cell phone. Features of communication standards cannot always provide access to all the extra power when taking out a mobile phone outside, but the advantage is still, visible. Secondly, do not hold the phone very close to your ear. Attenuation of radio waves signal is proportional to the square of the distance it has to reach. Thirdly, hold the tube vertically as this position reduces the radiation significantly while improving the signal. Then, do not listen to the phone while it is dialing. Hold the phone to your ear only after a call has been answered at the other end. The power of radiation during the signal is reduced to a minimum level, within 20 seconds after the button "Call" was pressed, i.e. just at the beginning of the conversation.
Nevertheless, in the modern society, the role of the cell phone can hardly be overestimated. With the help of such a compact device, we can keep in touch at any time with our relatives and friends, colleagues, to share interesting information we have. You don't need to strain your memory and recollect the telephone number of an old companion, as every one of your telephone contacts are dependably nearby. Numerous individuals, notwithstanding contacts kept in their telephones, have a considerable measure of other information there: they record their thoughts and contemplations, credit card numbers, commemorations, different documents, and so on. At times, the mobile phone replaces us a note pad and flash drive. And a wide range of helpful programming features, options, which present day mobile phones are furnished with, do a little estimated multi-capacity gadget so that occasionally it makes you wonder.
Today the mobile phone in our lives is not unprecedented and is not an extravagance, however somewhere in the range of fifteen years ago, it was difficult to envision that even little youngsters will be strolling with a little gadget in their pocket. What's more, in the event that somebody valiant could dream about the phones in the closest future and envision they could have a touch screen, camera, camcorder, radio, TV, web, program, electric lighter - such person would considered to be insane.
It is hard to envision how the efficiency would fall if businesspeople and business visionaries were not be able to clanch a deal, to arrange or to explain a few issues outside their workplace. For businessman, the cell phone is the capacity to arrange, to achieve an agreement with their business partners anytime, anywhere. Cell telephone in the lives of a few individuals is likewise a piece of their image. Individuals purchase certain models to demonstrate that they fit in a specific social class. In addition, phones are helpful for the individuals who all of a sudden appeared in a compelling circumstance. Regularly, it is a cellular telephone that save lives, save individuals from threat and aided in troublesome situations.
A cell phone in human life is a fundamental device. It encourages numerous things that we confront in our ordinary life: from booking tickets and finding an area for helping us to remember important occasions and staying in contact with the most recent news. It conveys advantage to the individuals who esteem their time and are not willing to spend it futile. Without the cell phone in our life, we would need to travel numerous shops and invest a great deal of energy in things that can be comprehended with a single click on the mobile phone. It is evident that cell phones help us not to waste time and cash.
There are several reasons for such a dependence. Firstly, it is caused by the fear of lonelyness and separation from the outside world. Few decades ago the absence of correspondence with the world was absolutely normal, but today it prompts alarm - there is no real way to call for help, there is no contact with family and companions, not even a clock and schedule. What to say in regards to the Internet in cell phones, ebooks, documents, etc.
Fear of loneliness additionally expands our connection with the cell phone. Independence, as a marvel, is slowly vanishing into obscurity. Also, today's younger generation mixed up independence with the capacity of being distant from everyone else for quite a while, encompassed by cellular telephones, tablets, and portable workstations. The dream of sociality and exemption makes us subject to mobile phones. All things considered, a person has no companions, conversing with somebody is exceedingly uncommon, shut, unsocial, maybe a convoluted case. The telephone is an approach to feel well known, disregarding any barriers, all things considered: gatherings, informal communities, etc. On the Internet, you can be anyone you want, you can spit on the tenets of tolerability, not to control your feelings, don't feel remorseful. With the assistance of SMS only it is possible to take part in an affair, break relations, however in real life such people would not have that strength.
Having examined all pros and cons of the cell phones, there is still one question remains. So, do cell phones control our lives? In some way, it is true. People become dependent on them. Most of us cannot imagine being without a cell phone. Moreover, some people believe that their life is located in this small piece of plastic. Sometimes we forget about everything that is behind the cell phone, we forget our real life. I'm not only talking about the physical harm of the cell phones (but it exists); I would like to draw your attention to the issue that as dangerous. The usage of cell phones prevents us from effective communication. We forget our communication skills, some representatives of young generation do not know how to ask a person on the street about how to get to the nearest bus station, it is easier to Google it for them. Friends who met at the café are concentrated not on the conversation with each other but their phones.
Despite all the opportunities that cell phones provide us, despite the fact that they facilitate our lives in some way we become addicted to them. If we do not possess a cell phone, we turn sad and indifferent. In this case, technological progress cannot replace the warmth of face-to-face communication. So let's get out of our cell phone addiction and enjoy the beautiful life we live.
