Harmful impact of mobile phones
The talks about harm caused by mobile phones exist as long as the very existence of mobile phones. Many different theories appear, which often contradict each other, then they are refuted and new ones emerge. Why do they appear, if people don't know for sure whether they are harmful for our health or not? Despite the absence of evidence, which could prove fears about their damage, people subconsciously feel that something is wrong with these mobile phones. Some people complain of constant headaches, which they attribute to using them, others experience exhaustion and fatigue. These people don't need any scientific evidence of what they feel.
Yes, physical damage of mobile phones seems to be improvable. However, mental damage, they cause is evident. Constant talks reduce our attention. The more we talk on the phone, the more we suffer from distraction of our attention. When we walk along the street and talk on the phone, we fail to notice road traffic signs. Thus we expose ourselves to risk of an accident. Driving a car and talking on the phone is even more dangerous. Fortunately, governments of many countries have already adopted laws which restrict using of mobile phones while driving a car.
The situation with the use mobile phones by children is more serious. The matter is that mobile phones are not a mere communication facility. They also include various games, mobile internet and many other additional facilities. Children play with their phones and thus spend their time for nothing. Instead of reading books and going in for sports they kill their free time. Children are too young to value time but when they grow older and realise its value, it is often too late, because grown-ups plunge into their everyday problems and have no time for self-development.
When you give a new model of a mobile telephone to your child as a present, you stimulate its phone addiction. All these ring tones, melodies, pictures and so on are unnecessary and lead to children's degradation. By the way, curiously enough that the main purpose of any mobile telephone is in the last place of the popularity list of its functions. This remarkable feature of a phone, which allows people communicate with each other at a distance, is regarded to be banal and self-evident. Children use their phones not for communication, but for wasting their time only.
Grown-ups have another problem. Of course, they are not much interested in all these pictures and ring tones, but they spend much time for unnecessary talks. They call each other and tell gossips, because they want to talk very much and can't select a sensible topic for conversation. This is a type of addiction. The matter is that the wish to talk on the phone becomes the end in itself. People call each other not because they miss their interlocutors, but because they simply want to talk and that's all. Admit that it is very stupid and illogical.
