Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.

I'm not going to specifically write about how dangerous mobile phones are, as so many people have done that before me here on dooyoo, and I don't think that I would be able to improve on anything anyone has written so far. Especially the piece by MykReeve, which is right at the top. It is however, a little old, and it would be great if he could come back and update it for us to reflect the new findings and information we have today. Most people do not realise that mobile phone base-stations (that's the towers you see on big hills and antennae on taller buildings) dotted all over the country are actually less harmful than your mobile phone. No. Wait. ...  Read the complete review

Mobile phone safety: The Mobile: So Finns Can Talk (601 words)

I'm reasonably certain that the many drawbacks to the increasing prevalence of mobile phone dependency are to some degree valid in one way or another. In fact, I know they are, based on numerous personal experiences. For example, you really can't concentrate on the road and break up with your long-distance girlfriend at the same time, unless you want to tempt fate. And you can't send a well-formulated SMS text message on a bus without missing your stop by a good few hours or so. But risks in general are inherent in the development of new technology. Every bit of social progress presents us with a new set of obstacles, and in turn, though often a slow and ...  Read the complete review

Hallo! Yeh man wats up? Hello this is ... speaking. All of these are ways to answer a fone and guess what? It's very annoying when you are sat in a quiet place and one goes off. So to the topic of if these things are safe. Well it's obvious we seem to think they are safe (like we thought cigs were safe when they were first made). So in a couple of decades will we see that there could well be some sort of side-effects. Think about it. Many people have reported a "tingling" sensation next to their ears when they use their phones FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. As with ciggarettes, it would appear that a heavy usage of of mobiles ...  Read the complete review

Mobile phone safety: Is the Mobile phone Safe (817 words)
by - written on 20/07/02
Rating:

I'm actually hoping that the mobile phone will prove to be a sort of Darwinian force in society - i.e., after the excessive mobile phone users' brains have all melted and run out of their ears, the survivors will all be a bit better off. Example of why this scare should be true: I'm in a cinema on Friday night watching a film ('The Yards', excellent by the way), and towards the end, some complete loser's tinkly small-penis-indicator ring-tone echoes through the auditorium. And aforementioned mentally challenged user doesn't switch it off, or hastily kill off the conversation. He just starts gabbing. And as soon as he sees the ...  Read the complete review
