We all have been hearing this since our parents handed us a my-connection-to-the-world device- Cellphone. And this, somewhat, was the piece of advice given to us before we got it- please use the cellphone as the last possible option as it is not good for your health to keep using it constantly. As if their bodies are made up of steel and that they could breach their own slated rule. :P
Cannot blame them too. They have been hearing from different media about the hazards of using a cellphone, rather over-use of it and caution us due to family interest.
I cannot help but fail to understand everytime I read the excessive-cellphone-use-is-not-good-for-health news. We can never cut down our usage, can we? Even when you are sitting in a corner of a big wedding hall where you can see your pal at a visible distance, you still tend to dial him, don't you? Cellphones and internet have become conquered the centre of our lives when it comes to communication. It has become more of an indispensable device than owned by choice.
The carcinogenic characteristics imparted to us by the use of cellphone is being studied and researched by the researchers. According to a recent report by WHO, the harmful waves emitted by cellphones may cause brain cancer in the long run. The degree of harmfulness is still a doubt, however, its nature is known. Still, can we manage to cut down our use? Hardly.
My friend who believes in maintaining good public relations which he doesn't by sending(read annoying) everyday sms forwards and emails sent me one on the topic few days back. I'd like to quote his forward mail below-
I appreciate his concern for all our batchmates to whom he forwarded to(yes, this too was a part of his daily spamming! :P ), but this, my friend, is really difficult to apply!
Are you going to stop your cellphone usage even by a minute? Too much to ask, no? Silly me!
To conclude, I'd like to leave you with the cliched thought-
Cellphone is the necessity, Cancer may be the byproduct but You are the master!

Today's economic times has an article :"Mobile Phone Radiation causes Cancer".
Mobile phones should be kept on silent mode and kept away and should be seen every 2 hours. U can than reply to all your missed calls and messages. All big people do the same. Follow that practise. Also do not sleep with your mobile it is very very harmful.
