Cellphones are a trendsetter in this global era. Now, not only do businessmen use cellphones but also kids, students and housewives. Cellphones are improving every years and they attract people to buy it more. Although cellphones ease people’s life in communication field; they can harm the users too.
Cellphones make us close with our family and friends because we can communicate with them although we are in a far away place. Parents in Indonesia can keep in touch with their son or daughter who is studying in America, for example. They would not feel that they are separated by oceans and continents. Another use of cellphones is that we don’t need to use public phone anymore when we are in emergency situation. If we saw an accident and the victim needs the police or ambulance, we can quickly help him. Still, cellphones have side effects in health area and road safety.
As we know that every electronic things have electromagnetic radiation waves, so do cellphones. The problem is cellphone directly gives radiation to our head when we make or receive call. From the research study by Dr Agarwal, Ph.D, it is shown that the radiation from cellphones can damage our brain cells. As a result, it causes headache, insomnia. The worst case, it can cause cancer, brain tumor, and is one of many factors that can cause alzheimer’s disease. If a person has headaches because of the radiation by cellphones, he will not be able to work efficiently. If the situation continues, he will lose his job.
We know that cellphones are not limited. They can be used anywhere and anytime. However, there is also a risk in using cellphones, especially when we are driving. According to the traffic law we are not allowed to send messages and talk when we are driving because the driver’s attention will be divided. People will not pay attention too much on their vehicle and the surrounding because they are focused on their cellphones. Therefore, when there is a sudden accident, the driver will not have a chance to avoid it.
To sum up, cellphones do ease people’s life, but it also can be dangerous for our life if we over use it. There are dangerous materials that can harm our body if we use cellphones too long. Moreover, not all people consider the place to use cellphones. It absorbed people’s attention until they are not responsive with their surroundings. That is why cellphones give bad impact for human.
