There was a time when people spent their loneliness and free time with books. Then television took this place. Nowadays this place is surrounded by mobile phones. Most people’s day starts and ends with mobile screens. If you know what are the disadvantages of always being with a mobile phone, you will be surprised.
Mobile phones emit electromagnetic radiation. These radiations absorb the tissues of our body. IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), an organization doing cancer research, has found that there can be a risk of cancer from these radiations. Children’s nervous system is still in the developmental stage, so this radiation can harm them more than adults.
Additionally, children may also be at increased risk of developing brain tumors. However, it has not been fully proven that mobile phones cause cancer. Swedish researchers say that to get cancer from radiation, mobile phones will have to be used continuously for at least twenty to twenty-five years. The distance between the mobile and the user, the distance between the user and the mobile tower, the type of mobile, all these things depend on the effect of the loss.
Using earphones reduces the distance between our head and mobile. This reduces the loss. It is important to keep an eye on children’s mobile use and keep it to a minimum. We keep touching the mobile screen continuously, due to which germs from our hands accumulate on it. There comes a time when there are more germs on it than on the toilet. When someone else touches our mobile, these germs easily reach them. This weakens the immunity and increases the risk of falling ill.
Mobile screens are smaller than computer screens. To read messages on these, one has to put pressure on the eyes. With eye strain like this, eyesight can weaken over time.
Every day we see people who drive with one hand and talk holding a mobile phone in the other hand. This greatly increases the risk of an accident. Even when talking with earphones on, sometimes the conversation can be distracted. Forgetting to drive can lead to an accident. Therefore, one should not talk on mobile while driving. Some people keep talking or sending messages on mobile even while crossing the road or walking on the road. This can also cause accidents. Some people have the habit of talking by pressing the mobile between the neck and shoulder. This habit can later cause back pain.
Constantly sending messages quickly on WhatsApp or Facebook can cause pain in the joints of the hands. Stress increases. Constant calls, vibrations, notifications, all these make us feel that we are always with mobile. We feel that it has become a part of our body. We cannot stay away from this. This increases stress.
There is a problem of insomnia. By keeping deafness close to the ear and talking continuously, electromagnetic waves affect the eardrum. This can lead to gradual deafness. Allergy may occur on the skin. Metals like nickel, chromium, cobalt are used to make the mobile attractive. These may cause allergies.
Mobile addiction: Taking mobile phones to places like toilet, bathroom, feeling uneasy when you forget your mobile at home, feeling upset when new notifications are not received, all these are symptoms of mobile addiction.
Talk on mobile keeping it away from head and body. Use devices like earphones, Bluetooth. Avoid keeping the mobile on your body while lying down and talking. Use landline phone instead of mobile. Avoid talking continuously for more than fifteen minutes. Instead, communicate through messages.
