Mobile Technology is a Boon or a Curse

As everyone knows today we cannot survive in this world without a mobile in our hand. The mobile phone is the best way to communicate with the people all around the world. Mobile phones has its benefits but at the same time it has its defects. Every good things will have a bad thing in it. Mobile is also having that. You can view my older posts Importance of mobile in your life that tells you how mobile is important for your life. From my post The mobile phones best part and the worse part you will get to know about the best part of the mobiles and also the worst part in the mobile usage. You can see how the usage of mobile will affect your brain and your body. People will get more disease with the radiations from the mobile phones.

The harmful effects of the cell phone radiations were exposed in the year 1993. A case was reported in Florida, wherein a law suit was filed by a man, who claimed that his wife had been affected by brain tumour, because of the use of cell phone. It was only after such a case, that numerous researches have been conducted to find out if the cell phones really emit radiations that are harmful.With some studies the scientists found the radiations from the mobile phones will double the cancer cells.

Telecommunication departments have invested much money in finding the effects caused by the mobile phone radiations and found some ways to reduce the radiations from the mobile phone. But still they cant stop it 100 percent. The users of mobile phone is terribly increasing everyday. Hence the radiations also will get increase. It will affect the people who are not using mobile phones.


The mobiles has the same disadvantages the mobiles have its advantage. In technically its a gift to the humans. But in Medical aspect view its a curse to the human beings which leads to many brain diseases.

The only thing we can get out of this by using the mobile phone when we needed. Some people use to talk in the mobile phone for 4, 5 hours per day continuously. That's too bad. If we use the mobile only the time we needed we can be away from the radiations.

Most of the people have the habit of keeping their mobiles under their pillow when they sleep. It's too dangerous to keep there. The radiations will affect your brains directly. Keep your phones away when you sleep.

Walk when you talk with the mobile phone.

According to some research, the relation between the radiations and the effects of them on the users can be summarized as follows:

· The users of cell phone do not run a high risk of getting cancer than non users.

· Frequent users of cell phones do not have the risk of getting cancer or non malignant tumours, than those who use the phones rarely.

· It is a myth that brain tumours and cancers tend to develop on the side of the head, at which the phone has been used.

One of the observable harmful effects of mobile phones however has been the thermal effects. The microwave radiations cause dielectric heating. Here any dielectric material such as a living tissue gets heated up by rotation of polar molecules of the electromagnetic radiations. Therefore for the person who uses a cell phone, the heating will occur at the surface of the head.

As the subject by itself is controversial, the cell phones can be utilized judiciously and purposefully, as prevention is always better than cure.
