Pro's on Cell Phone Use

There are many controversal topics regarding cell phone usage. Some people say it give you cancer by having the cell phone by your head all day long. There have been many studies done to see if this is true. Here is the results from one study, "If cell phones were causing cancer we could expect a rise in the rate of brain and other related cancers. However, according to the National Cancer Institute, there has been no increase in the incidence of brain or other nervous system cancers between the years 1987 and 2005 despite the fact that cell phone use has dramatically increased during those same years."

Cell phones bring a sense of safety to everyone. I know that I can't ever be without my cell phone. If I walk somewhere alone I always have it in my pocket in case of an emergency. It is stated in Cell Phone's ProsandCons.org, "Cell phones increase personal safety by providing an easy means of contacting others during an emergency. According to an American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) poll, 56% of people over the age of 65 cite safety as a reason they have a cell phone."



As you can see, this video really puts emphases on how improtant it is that everyone has a cell phone and installs the right media on it. Cell phone are saving lives as we speak. Without cell phones it would be hard to alert the police of emergencies while out and about. Everyone should have a cell phone for these safety reasons because you never know when you might be in an emergency.

  1. I agree, I believe that Cell phones are very useful in our everyday life. Its a tool that can be affordable for most to purchase. When stuck in a situation, when your needing to reach someone for help, cell phones come in handy, being one of the best ways of communicating with others. But there are always the negatives of cell phones. We have the people that love texting and driving that are hazards to others on the road. Using a cellular device while driving is dangerous because your focus is not paying attention to the road and the other things happening around you.

  2. i also agree with that, but i found the whole phone causing cancer a very interesting thing. I mean if it was true then majority of people in our generation would be diagnosed with cancer already. so it wouldn't make sense. People just want to make an excuse up to stop kids from spending to much time on the phone.

  3. Your video was very interesting. I thought it was very interesting about the whole ICE thing. I would have never thought about saving my mom in my phone as that so others could help me.I was in a roll over car accident though a few years ago and my phone was thrown from the vehicle so than to me the whole point of having that saved is pointless.
