As much as there are many advantages of using cellphones, recent research proves that they these

gadgets have demerits too. The most common claims on dangers of using cell phones are such as

vulnerability to cancer, accidents during driving and ear impairment among other claims. Making

phone calls while driving is dangerous because it causes a distraction to the driver by taking their

attention away from their task of driving and this can cause accidents. Even though most

experimental research convincingly show that conversations on the phone while driving impair

driving performance and most of the reference done is through comparing normal driving without

making phone calls and using it when driving. The society believes that drinking alcohol while

driving is more dangerous than making phone calls, but this is not the case because they can all

cause death. It is believed that cell phones can cause cancer because it emits some radiofrequency

energy, which human body can absorb. This form of energy has the potential to ruin the health of

humans in many ways.the number of phone users in the modern world has increased drastically

in comparison to previous decades. Since the communication is important for running many

activities in modern organizations, it is almost impossible to operate without a phone. This fact

increases the chances of more people becoming affected by cell phones. The radiofrequency

affects the body since it’s ionizing radiation increases its risks of cancer. With the presence of

energy, ionization radiation and x-rays in cell phones, the risks cancer are greater. This energy

also affects the brain in many ways through increasing the rate of glucose metabolism in the head

of an individual using a cell phone. Another way in which the cell phone affects individuals is

through brain tumor, which is also contributed by the radiofrequency energy. Most of the research

on the possibility of getting cancer through cell phones claims that children are more vulnerable

because the nervous systems of children are not yet well developed and because their heads are

quite smaller, than the risks are higher to them. For the time being, the claims of cancer through

cell phones is not yet concluded because these claims are still undergoing deeper study. Current
