Let's be honest, the overuse of mobile phones is evident even to those who overuse them. But what is the real problem? The first thing that people seem to mention is that mobile phones are dangerous due to the radiation they emit. The jury is still out about whether these hypothesis are correct or not - research all around the world is ...

15 years ago hardly anyone owned a mobile phone. They were massive blocky things that were generally unattractive, heavy and very expensive to run. Today however almost everybody in the UK has one, including a lot of young children. Mobile phones use microwaves to transmit a signal while they are switched on. It's these ...

Like the controversial MMR jab, most of the country are now using Mobile phones with no real studies done to predict long term health problems. And if any are done they are usually paid for by the offending companies or product owners to limit any possible damage or liability. Gordon Brown has just bagged twenty billion pounds for the new ...

Due to the multi-billions of pounds generated by the mobile 'phone industry, do you honestly think that the industry will tell us the truth concerning the safety of mobile 'phones? Ignore those idiots who drive BMW's on motorways at 100mph plus and use their mobile 'phones whilst steering with one hand and not looking at the road and to ...

There has been a great deal of discussion on this subject recently, but all to no real avail. As a result it will remain a moot point for many years to come. Virtually all inventions which have changed the lifestyle of people have been scrutinised and warned about at some time or other. It was believed that travelling above 20 mph would make ...

Two years ago I got my first mobile phone. I was so excited about my new toy, I would phone all my friends up on it telling them about it. A few months down the line I begain to get pains in my head. As much as I took tablets for it, it wouldn't go away. I went to the doctors and she told me to cut down on useing my phone. As ...

Mobile phones have been the subject of much debate recently, and still we dont seem to know the truth behind the rumours. Are they safe, will they fry our brains as punishment for calling our mates from the pub ? One week we are told one thing, that hands free is safer and we should use them, then we get told they are ten times worse, ...

Ban mobile phones now! These instruments of satan are a danger to humanity, here's the proof: - Mind that antenna! The number of incidents where I've poked myself in some portion of my head or inadvertently poked somebody else suggests solid proof that unless mobile phones are banned we'll all be walking around wearing those ...

I do have a mobile but do worry about mobile phone safety. It seems one week they tell us that mobiles are ‘safe’ and the next week that they are ‘dangerous’. It would be nice to know either way. The problem is that so many people are becoming reliant on their mobiles that even if it was ...

I am not a fan of mobile phones Whilst I can see some benefits e.g. - emergency use whilst in the car (stationary) In my opinion, they are extremely dangerous – not from “frying your brains”, (whether or not they do, if people want to fry their own brains – let them) but from the total disregard that drivers have ...

Well wherever you go now you can't fail to see poeple using mobile phones, but now when there are so many people using them it is announced that there MAY be health risks. This is another case of mass hysteria. It seems now that, in this country, whenever it is announced that there may be a chance of something bad it is blown out of all ...

This is an extreme bone of contention for me. I bought a mobile phone soon after the scares began. I became terrified to use it. My friends warned me of the dangers, even though they were avid users of the device. The papers hyped and the rumours spread. It was much like the hype with microwaves; when they were first introduced to the ...

Mobile phone safety must be one of the most controversial issues in our present day, closely followed by the state train safety seems to be in at the moment. The mobile phone economy had rapidly grown over the last couple of years, and now most people have a mobile; if they haven’t it is usually due to age rather than not being able to get ...

On the day that the Government announced the allocation of £7 million to a research programme into the health effects of mobile phone use, I decided to take a look at the scientific basis behind the alleged dangers of mobile phone use. What I've found is a series of stunningly inadequate experiments, a heavy reliance on anecdotal statements, ...

A week ago, The Lancet published three articles, summarising the latest information we have on mobile phones - while it was all very interesting, unfortunately the journaly managed to say the mobiles were safe, that mobiles possibly weren't safe, and that nobody knows anything at all, whatsoever. Some points ARE worth paying attention to. ...

Mobile phones are so widespread now they could not be banned, though investigations and tests should be carried out to find out how much radiation they pump into our brains. After using a mobile for a long time I have a headache. Is that radiation or having somebody yelling down your ear for half an hour? Nobody knows. The Carphone warehouse have ...

Let me start on BSE. When I first heard about it in 1995/6, I was sceptical. I'd been eating beef since I was born and I'd never had any problems. But it's pretty much a scientific fact right now. At the time, the governments delayed acting for many years because they were more concerned about employment and business than they were ...

3 years ago the mobile phone-owning population was quite small. However with the introduction of pay-as-you-go deals and packages available for only £30 everyone has taken advantage. Now of course that mobile usage is at an all-time high safety questions have arisen. This is nothing new. When computers were used more we had the introduction of ...

I have the horrible feeling that mobile phones will be the Mad Cow disease of the new century because governments are suppressing evidence that harmful radiation is being pumped into the brain and sensitive ear regions causing growths and health problems, especially in the youth of today who are using these things en masse the most. Gordon ...

Okay, so I think we need to accept that yes, there is a risk of radiation when using mobile phones. We don't yet know how big that risk is, but it certainly exists. I could have told you that in the early 1990s, as a child who always got a headache after using my mother's oh-so-modern size-of-a-five-house-bricks mobile phone when away on ...
