Negative impact of Cell Phones (GSM) use on
individual and society
We all live in an age, where cell-phone communication has become a
standard part of our daily lives. As with everything new adopted in
basic human life. GSM tool inclusion in our life had a severe
impact on both individuals and in summary to whole society groups
and nations.
The benefits out of having an instant "channel" for communication
to anyone else in the world are indoubtfully numerous. However as
present tosicety is learned to mostly thing in one direction, most
people didn't have a clear understanding on the
negative impact
of this little communicators on our mind body and soul.
1.; Negative impact of mobile phones on body level
Whenever we talk over the phone especially when picking up incoming
calls or initiating out-going ones, the GSM device has to connect
to the closest network cell "dial up" and wait for initialization
of remote or local connection. The levels of radiation waves during
the two mobiles connects up is higher. Therefore if one moves the
phone near his ear listening for the status of call the amount of
radiation that enters our brains is slightly higher. The
extra-radiation whether mobiles are connecting is also few times
more whether our phone is ringning, hence it is unhealthy to put
the phone near our ear before we press the
Answer Call
button.
2.;; Negative effect of continuous mobile phones use on human
brain
Knowing about the increased radiation on connection initialization
thanksfully one can protect himself by simply not putting the
mobile headset near ear on call initialization. Though this
"problem" can be partially solved, next comes the health brain
damage (tumours) which according to some researches are higher
among people who do frequentlong phone call conversations. In long
phone calls the brain is exposed for a longer time to the flowing
waves making the peer to peer call possible. According to some
medical researches, a long and frequent phone calls could be a
reason not only for brain cancers but also other misfunctions or
damages in normal brain cells functioning.
3.;;; The bad impact of Cell Phones on nervous system
Another health issue which the daily phone use and the constant
exposure to mobile network cells radio frequency radiation affects
generally our nervous system.
Unexpected phone calls early in morning or late at night are a
cause for increased bodily stress and even the fear sometimes for
an incoming phone call are a cause for many types of neurological
disorders diagnosed by psychiatrists.
Even when we sleep at night the mobile phone periodically connects
to the nearest mobile cell generating some almost undetectable
"waves contamination". This constant waves air flow caused by the
mobile network cells positioned all around cities is not usual
thing for our bodies. This also has some influence on our nervous
system as the nervous sysm tends to be a bit more alert because of
the waves constantly passing the body. The natural reaction of our
bodies nerves is to try to balance itself. As nervous system of
different people is not equal some people's nervous system is more
prone to having difficulties to balance the disbalance created by
the increased number of mobile air waves.
The result of this to many people is in increased sleeplessnes and
hardships to get asleep (according to research taken place in
American Academy of Sleep Medicine.).
4.;;;; Lost of social and ethical behaviour in people
There is lately observed a huge shift from a face to face
communication to peer to peer (p2p) on the phone. The cellphones
breeds a culture of socially group detached people (the
communication over phone is rarely a conference) but rather
consists of communication between two persons (peer to peer). The
p2p communication is not only a primary mean of communication of
people exposed to heavy phone use. p2p Communication is a primary
communication in Skype, Google Talk and mostly all modern available
communication medias and softwares.
As more and more people spend nowdays more time on the mobile than
in real communication, this makes them introverted and isolated and
increases the inability to deal with real human f2f interaction. In
other words continuous phone use re-trains us to communicate with
others via the mobile. Besides that according to numerous
researches about 40 to 50% of visual communication whether a phone
call is used is lost (this also makes negotiation or expressing
over phone harder and at least twice longer than in real
communication).
The influence of the decreased social abilities cause of the phone
use has also an impact on ethical behaviour of people too. The
increased lost of communication abilities makes even daily real
communication vague and lacking accepted social norms and ethical
values. Next to that comes the huge problem of over-simplification
of communication. As the line communication over the phone loose
half of the communication as well as sometimes there are quality of
voice over the network interferences. People are doing their best
to simplify the communication adopting short command like like
phrases and talking in a slang.
5.;;;;; Addiction to mobile phone use
The use of mobile phone often has a short beep sounds, whether you
work on the keyboard receive a phone call or look for some mobile
functionality staring at the screen. We're wearing the mobile
everywhere with us so often we do check the mobile screen quite
un-consciously (by addiction). Checking the mobile screen to see
what time is it has become almost an instinct and an automated
learned behaviour.
The continous use of mobile phones makes many people mobile
addicts. There are huge amount of people I've observed who speaks
everyday for few hours (whether everytime they feel lonely they
call someone in order not to feel lonely). The mobile phone
addiction in youngsters is slighly higher than in adults. Probably
the most mobile dependent addicts are kids who were given a mobile
to use since there very early years.
Anyways there are tons of adults nowdays who cannot even think to
be able to live without mobile and even cannot understand:
how
can anyone think that life could be possible without a cell
phone. This kind of thinking is a direct trait showing an
addiction and dependency on the phone such people have.
