Cell phone radiation has become a huge issue. Cellphones may also be helpful to most people. This is so because without cellphones, people would not be able to contact each other from long distances. Also, it is proven to prevent certain diseases to the body. Cell phone radiation is a controversial issue where it can be harmful to people, and useful to others. I will explore the meaning of a cellphone and its dangers and benefits. According to this article: "How Cell-phone Radiation Works," cell phones have to emit a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. Cell phones emit frequencies via radio waves, called radio-frequency energy, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. This electromagnetic radiation is possibly what activated the popcorn kernels. Cell phone may emit dangerous radiation. This is seen in the "Popcorn Video." One would normally have to use heat radiations, such as microwaves or stove ovens to make popcorn. So whatever made popcorn, which is in the cellphones, is normally in microwaves and such.  According to the interview on "The Leonard Lopate Show" with Dr. Devra Davis, Dr. Davis states how cell phones come with the danger cautions after being purchased. Davis speaks of how the cell phones are dangerous and hazardous to the human body because it emits the same amount of frequencies a microwave oven emits, although it's weaker, is still dangerous. Dr. Davis suggested every phone should have a headset equipped when purchased. The headset is wireless and is connected to the phone, which is connected to the speaker and the microphone part of the phone, keeping the cellphone away from user. This method will cause less radiation to the head, which will prevent health hazards in the future. Also, Dr. Davis mentioned that the cell phone radiation damages the area of the body it is at. If the cellphone is on the waist, then the radiations will rupture the lower intestines, which will damage the digesting system.  There are different levels of radiation, which varies with the cellphones. According to the articles "Limit Your Exposure To Cell Phone Radiation," different cellphones come with different radiation, based on the functions of the cellphone. The "Environmental Working Group" created a user-friendly interactive "Cell phone Radiation list and Database." This list conveys the different levels of radiation that cellphones have. According to the article, the EWG states: "In the meantime, we think it’s smart for consumers to buy phones with the lowest emissions." This quote means that the EWG wants to make sure that the cellphone consumers are healthy. The EWG finds it hazardous for cell phones to carry a high amount of radiation.  According to the article "Cell Phone Radiation Information," this "electromagnetic energy" happens to be transmitted from phones and radio towers, which is very harmless because it has non-ionizing radiations. It was tested that ionizing radiations causes cells and genetic matter to mutate or change form. Also, the article states how cell phone use may be linked to decreased sperm count and quality. According to the "Sperm Count Test," the test of a group of men came to a result of an alarming rate of 25 percent decrease in sperm count, due to the use of cellphones. According to the test, cell phone radiation damages sperm cells of men, causing them to lose the chances of reproducing. According to the article "Effects of Cell Phone Radiation on Pregnancy," Pregnant/women are also affected by cell phone radiation. There is a chance that the fetus of a pregnant woman may have mental health damages due to cell phone radiation. Cellphones can not be too negative. Cellphones were created for wireless connections between two to four people, not that it is relevant but those numbers can increase. The reason of making these cellphones is because landline phones are home or connected to a building. Cellphones are wireless and helps one connect to another for emergencies. If there was no cellphone inventions, computers and technologies would not be enhanced as it is in this generation. Cellphones has taken us a long way in civilization standards because one was not another able to talk to another from a long distance or cross country. Cellphone radiation may be helpful to people who uses it. According to the article "Cell Phone Radiation Might Improve Memory," cellphone radiation may improve memory and prevent Alzheimer's disease. This is beneficial because Alzheimer's disease is a disease where the person loses their memory rapidly. It is told by test runs by doctors that cellphone may be able to prevent this disease.  In overall, cellphones are controversially attached to people because cellphones are harmful to the human body, but it can save people from Alzheimer's disease and it connects people from one country/state/city, to another. Cellphones can be detrimental to the human body because the radiations can destroy the human brain and cause damages to the body based on where the cellphone is at. Cellphones can also be useful to the people because people can connect to others from cross country/state/city/continent. Also, cellphones can help prevent Alzheimer's disease, which is a disease based on memory. In conclusion, cellphones are made for this generation, whether it is positive or negative. Cellphones may have negative and/or positive reasons for its creation, but people use these cellphones to get by in life.
