As many of us use our phones daily, do we ever stop and think it might affect our body? The 1st reason is that some people say that phones are safe and others say there not. Whats you opinion? My opinion is that phones may cause a risk of brain tumor or other health problems. Therefore many of us get distracted easily and it's pretty hard to get back on track. In 1973 the first portable cell phone was discovered. Therefore, supporting my claim based on why or why not phones are safe. Due to the cause that cell phones are not safe, I disagree. The reason why i disagreed is that cell phones are safe depending what you do,and also in case of an emergency you will have an electronic to access an adult. My second claim is that now in …show more content…
Because some parents are not concern that when you lend an electronic to a kid it's a habit for them and it will be an everyday thing for them. My third claim is that phones are a distraction as well. Using phones during school hours is a big distraction trust me it is. The reason why i tell you this is because I've been thru this. Sometimes i get distracted using my phone during class hours and it's pretty hard for me to get back on track. I'm one of those people that gets distracted easily. Half of the school that i know of they don't give the privileged to let young adults use their phones. Some teachers give you warnings, take it away or they call your parents to pick it up. Therefore, thank god I've never gotten my phone taken away but I've been told by a teacher to put my phone away. My last claim is, why do teachers get a little mad when they see student with their phones? My first argument is that the teachers should first ask why is their phone out, or they could tell them to put it away. Some teachers may not understand that sometimes there's an emergency at home and their getting a call. But in the other hand student just want to be with their phones for fun. When your in class and the teacher is giving a lecture students pull out their phone and go into social media. I think that's a bad idea because your missing out in the lecture and when it comes to testing your not going

For example, talking too much over cellphones can damage hearing. According to study in Use of Cell Phone Long Hour Cause Hearing Loss, “Those who used mobile phones for more than four years had more hearing loss in high-frequency ranges in their right ear, the ear most held the phone to, than those who used the mobile phone for one to two years” (Dohheny). Another example is using cellphones for a long period or too much is bad for the eyes. The vision of the eyes can get weaker by looking at the cell phone screen. According to the article Does staring at screens all day really damage your eyes?, found that 61 percent of Americans have experienced eye strain after prolonged use of electronic devices — nearly 2 out of every 3 people (Hill). One of my friends in school was wearing glasses when I saw her one day. I said, “What happened? Why are you wearing glasses?” She said, “My eyes are in pain.” She told me that she had been typing all night on her cell phone. The reflected light that comes from electronic devices’ screens can cause eyestrain because of long-period concentration on the screens. Furthermore, cell phone can also damage the brain and possibly cause brain tumors. Lloyd Morgan, a member of the Bioelectromagnetics Society says, ' 'Science has shown increased risk of brain tumors from use of cell phones, as well as increased risk of eye cancer, salivary gland tumors, testiculars cancer,

Are cell phones a harmful distraction to society? With advances in technology today, the demand for better cell phones is skyrocketing. With new technological advancements happening everyday with cell phones, people are starting to depend on a cell phone for everyday tasks. Cell phones allow the user to contact friends or family with the touch of a button and allows them to play games in times of boredom. As a result of everyday use, cell phones have affected relationships, the brain, and health.
"How dangerous could a cell phone actually be?" That is one of the many questions a person will ask themselves throughout their lifetime. Cell phones cause many distractions to humans throughout the day. Many cell phone owners find themselves checking their phones for messages and notifications even when the phone did not vibrate or ring. The overuse of cell phones will have negative effects on the mental and physical health of its users, will cause driving distractions, and will have a negative impact on the communication skills of humans.
One reason that cell phones should be banned from classrooms is because students who use them fall into a daze of distracted learning. Classes are taught by teachers, whose goal is to give the student an educational experience, learning things they will need to apply to their later life. However, students on their cellphones are distracted from their learning and never use the lessons taught. Over 2,000 cellphone disturbances were reported in New York City in the past school year (Backstory). This means that over 2,000 people had issues with cellphones interrupting classroom discussi...
...erest for everybody. This is a good thing as it will help people to be aware of radiations and they would be eager to protect themselves. In 2011, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified that cell phone radiation as Group 2B- possibly carcinogenic this means that there “could be some risks” but they also say that some heavy experiments is yet to be conducted. There is no specific reliable statement that says cell phones is dangerous but despite this it is best to use it as minimum as you can. In a public statement Xavier Bertrand French Health Minister said: “As the hypothesis of a risk cannot be entirely excluded. Precaution is justified.” Cell phones have made our life easier by allowing us to save time; however, we should use it in the right ways and not only the bad. Now a day the cell phone is being used unnecessarily for everything.
Cell phones may be the top of devices those distract students in class. The ubiquitous problem originates from the cell phones. I’m also a high school student, I can see some of my classmates use it for texting every day in class instead of listening to the teacher. Students also use it for playing video games, listening to music, watching videos. And definitely, while you are playing with your phones, you will not be able to absorb the lesson that the teacher is trying to teach. It’s not easy to do two things at the same time, except you are super. Have you ever tried to draw a circle by your left hand and draw a rectangle by the other hand simultaneously? When you do two things or more at the same time, your brain will just focus on one thing and naturally ignore the other. As Peter Bregman wrote in the Harvard Business Review Blog Network that multitasking can reduce productivity by as much as 40%, increase stress and cause a 10-point fall in IQ.
Mobiles are said to cause brain tumors, they say this because there was found to be more tumors of the same kind amongst mobile phone users. Mobiles cause memory loss, radiation sickness. Mobiles can disturb your sleep pattern, according to the researchers from the university of Zurich, mobile phones increases brain activity during our sleep. A really strange result of the use of mobile phones is that mobile phones can release the poisonous mercury from fillings causing brain damage, scientist say this is due to the electrical fields given off by mobile phones can activate the mercury, giving off a gas. The fumes attach the nervous system causing conditions from depression, asthma to Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
Cell phones should not be allowed in school because children focus more on the phone than schoolwork, it creates more drama, and it promotes cheating. Cell phones should not be allowed in schools because kids are always wondering what their friends are doing and what is happening outside of school. If they have access to their phones all day, then they will be glued to them. Phones are more entertaining than a teacher lecturing at the front of the class. Most students will start to zone out, or fall asleep, when a teacher starts a lesson.
Dangers of cell phones to the health and safety on any one individual can be supported not only in opinion but fact as well. Opinions and research vary greatly on the negative aspects of cell phone usage, although most would choose benefits over that negative. While most consumers may appreciate the convenience and mobility of cell phones, the human body will not.
...om cell phones, and its dangers, so we are told to be extra careful of cell phones and how we use them. If you are being affected in some way and you need help, it is recommend that you go and get your treatment immediately.Cellphones does have its good side and its bad side as well, since there are no convincing reports that cell phones cannot be dangerous. This shows that are cell phones dangerous or not, both are still incomplete, researchers may be able to convince the public by 2015.

Last year alone 330,000 people died due to car accidents alone that doesn't even include the health issues that phones cause. 1.6 million crashes have occured because drivers are on there phones while driving. Drivers are now not only having to worry about
One reason to consider the introduction of cell phones in learning is to promote digital etiquette, a concept that is foreign to most people. According to Liz Kolb (the author of “Toys to Tools”) Digital etiquette is “a basic set of rules you should follow in order to make the internet better for others, and better for you.” Kolb says in her book that “an educator’s job is to help students navigate and stay safe in their media world”. Students often are unaware to the consequences of their use and misuse of technology. Currently, many students do not overthink about protecting their own privacy. For example 55% of students do not care whether the digital material they use is copyrighted. Students ages 10 to 17 often do not take in appropriate cell phone use. According to Kolb “While nine out of ten 10- to 17- year olds believe that they are courteous on their cell phones, 52% admit to sending text messages at the movie theater, while 28% admit to sending texts at the dinner table.” These statistics show that teens are unaware with cell pho...
Scientists also say that cell phones don’t cause cancerous diseases well my opinion is that we should reduce the time we spend on our cell phones, don’t be on it all the time and try to slowly avoid cell phones and use handsets.
