Are cellphones dangerous

In verbal communication, cell phones have been used to aid communication, thanks to technology. Cell phones have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of communication but the recent reports from the World Health Organization claims that safety measures should be employed when using the cell phones. This call for safety has made many scholars and researchers to find out if there is any danger involved when using cell phones. Also, there have been debates on the televisions, social media and other platforms on whether there is danger or safety on the use of cell phones on the subscribers. Thus, even though cell phones have improved human connectedness in communication, they have caused health problems; they have limited social cohesion and a major cause of accidents.

However, this is a matter of choice or discipline. However, there is no agreed posture in receiving or making phone calls. Cell phones have limited social cohesion. Many sociologists have developed studies which have proved the connection between the increased cell phone use and the reduction of social cohesiveness. These studies have been conducted and a comparison has been made between the rural areas where there is low rates of cell phone use and the urban areas of high rate of cell phone use. According to the National Safety Council reports, there are around 2 million road accidents in a year due to the use of cell phones while driving. Some people die while others are injured. This poses a health risk to human beings.

These accidents can be caused by texting or checking the text messages, reading emails or responding to emails, receiving or making calls, viewing videos or taking videos or pictures while driving. All these activities cause distractions which might cause accidents. However, when these phones are used in the right way, the rate of health risks, social exclusion and accidents will be greatly reduced. People should reduce the time they are on their phones, they should receive the phones in the right posture, they should keep the phones in the right places, they should not use phones while driving and they should consider improving social connectivity by embracing more face to face meeting than the use of teleconferences and talking on phones.
