In the article, Your Phone Could Ruin Your Life, by Kristen Lewis it says, “digital distraction can be harmful, both mentally and physically”(Lewis 9). I think this means that young people are spending too much time on electronics both day and night. I can support this because it says that “80% of teenagers sleep with their phones nearby”(Lewis 7),and also, “your phone screen gives off a kind of light that tells your brain to stay awake”(Lewis 9).

Of the 7 billion people on earth, currently about 6 billion own a cell phone, while only about 4 billion of them have a working toilet (AsapSCIENCE).

In an article composed by the American Cancer Society it states, “The 13-country INTERPHONE study, the largest case-control study done to date, … found no link between brain tumor risk and the frequency of calls, longer call time, or cell phone use for 10 or more years” (American Cancer Society). A study as widespread at this found no link between cell phone use and brain tumor risk, therefore substantiating the argument that cell phones do not cause cancer. The involvement of thirteen countries and the longevity of the experiment provides a viable spread of data. In fact, the INTERPHONE study had another component that included an examination of more than 1,000 people with acoustic neuromas and more than 2,000 people without tumors; the results still confirmed that there was no overall link between cell phone use and acoustic…
