While the effects of human interaction increase, so do the consequences of psychosocial risks. These include things such as an overwhelming amount of stress, particularly in teens, along with an inability to keep work and home separated, and could possibly present a negative relationship with others (Sansone). In support of these impressions, several studies were done that have proved the risks of cell phones. From the various research done, we can conclude that cell phones are leading to overstimulation and are causing a disruption in sleep. A study of 1,656 Belgium school children revealed that “participants who used a cell phone more than once a week were 5.1 times more likely to be tired” and this is a direct correlation …show more content…
One major problem that has emerged since the development of cell phones has been an increase in brain tumors. Due to the direct contact of a high-powered transmitter while talking on the phone, there is a potential risk of electromagnetic radiation that causes health risks.The radiation from the phone can also affect the production of calcium leading to unconstrained cell expandment, leading to cancer. Smaller daily affects that cell phones have on our bodies include things such as “nausea, headaches, problems with memory, dizziness, and sleep disturbance.” Since these effects remain unknown in whether they directly relate to cell phones, the FDA has spent $25 million to review these potential risks (Capriotti). These devices are not worth the consequences they are …show more content…
These developing cell phones are turning into a small computer, rather than a telephone used for calls. Juniper Research predicts that over 38 billion groups will be revolutionizing the world to be a more intellectual place by 2020 (Moore). Another research company called ABI studied the Internet of Everything(IoE), which also showed there will be a multitude of devices connected wirelessly by 2020. They hope for an even wider expansion than this causing a market to be only used on wireless technology, allowing it to not be seen by the customers “to which technology is used (“More Than 30 Billion Devices”).” Whether these rapid changes to cell phones will be beneficial or not is hard to decide, but from the past, we can conclude that it will probably include detrimental effects as well as positive
