Mobile Phone- Boon or Bane

A Mobile phone is probably the most widely used electronic gadget today. The first cell phone unit was manufactured by in 1947 by AT&T (then BELL Labs). Since then, the cell phone has evolved from giant foot long receivers to as slim as 4mm thin. Today, it is a lifestyle statement based on the kind of cell phone you use. It has revolutionized the whole communication process. You can text people in seconds, share your moments of life with your friends through an MMS, surf internet at the speed of 3.1 MBPS, send voicemails, and all this with just a tiny gadget. It is truly a remarkable achievement in the field of communication.

Just like anything else, mobile phones also have a lot of negative effect. With so many different ways to communicate, face to face communication is almost extinct. The electromagnetic radiations emitted by the mobile phone and the heat generated by them cause adverse effect on eth health. A recent study showed that men who talk for more than 4 hours a day on mobile phone have the worst sperm counts and the poorest quality sperm. Excessive usage of mobile phone is often linked with Brain tumor, skin cancer, headaches, sleep disorders, and many more. Texting is often associated with bone and muscle fatigue diseases. These are just the physical damages and if we start counting the psychological damages caused, it is another long list. For starters, sufferers have arguments, lie a lot, and experience social isolation and fatigue.

Despite so many ill effects of mobile phone, it is still the most widely used gizmo in the world. I guess, when used moderately according to the usage restrictions, there is nothing more helpful than a mobile phone.

New Cell Phones

The new cell phones aren’t phones at all. They are these little wonders of technology that allow you to access the internet, place calls, find a restaurant, check your bank account, and read a book. What is so amazing about these new cell phones is that they are barely any larger than a small wad of twenties in your pocket, they seem to last indefinitely, and they are not unreasonably overpriced. With this sort of cell phone technology, the next wave of phones is likely to be utterly mind blowing. You can even track down you friends, relatives, and significant others with a single cell phone with all kinds of GPS technology.

Should a phone be capable of all these things and still be called a phone? The basic function of a phone is to keep people in contact with one another. With the push from businesses to be able to make communication and tracking a simply prospect, the personal phone has molded right into those expectations and we are starting to rely on them for all of their capabilities and not just use them for mere conversation. In fact, you can have an entire conversation with ten people at once without ever actually muttering a single word on these phones. There is more in store for us, and those who have not yet discovered how awesome these phones can be are in for an awakening. Pretty soon, the phone might actually even be able to replace the personal computer at a much more effective price.
