A significant portion of the information provided supports that there is cause for concern but there is no significant relationship between cell phones and brain cancers.
Other hypothesis that could have been tested could concern effects on skin by the heat emitted from the radiation given off by antennas on cell phones. The article appears to be rather inclusive, and therefore leave little room for misinterpretation. There were so many instances where it was easy to believe everything you read without questioning it, especially when you have an article that is written regarding information reported by the FDA, with the support and backing of various doctors. It is evident that when there is cause for concern it is important to research and determine ways to correct the problem. One of the reasons that radiation and cell phones has become such a mute issue is due to technology. (Nordenberg) the article explains that technology is one of the primary reasons why it is difficult to assess the effects of radiation in cell phones. Cell phones are constantly changing and improving in safety and efficiency. Therefore, it is difficult to use this as a variable in a study with any consistency.
It is...
Cell phones are used by a large number of people everyday, and there are times when the fears of a consumer are used against them. The article concludes by discussing that companies use consumer's fears to increase market sales on products that are suppose to cure, fix etc. The problem they are having with the product. That is why it is so important to know information and think critically about information being presented to us as consumers on a regular basis. Without researching and questioning, it is possible to become a consumer lost in the jargon that is often displayed. In order to be a smart shopper/consumer it is important to develop the skills necessary that will in turn protect one from being manipulated and mislead. This project truly exemplifies why knowledge is power and without it, we are forced to believe what we are told, instead of being able to form our own decisions and deal with concern in a knowledgeable way.

Virtually any observation of people in public would reveal two very distinctive styles of cell phone use. There is one category of user who seems to make every possible effort to conduct cell phone conversations discretely and without unnecessarily broadcasting the content of their conversations to strangers. Unfortunately, there seems to be a much greater preponderance of the second category of user: those who seem to do the exact opposite,
, 2006). The authors used "meta-analytic" techniques in this research; twenty-three studies were fed into the meta-analysis strategies and the outcome indicates that there are "clear costs" associated with driving and speaking on a cell phone simultaneously. The biggest "cost" (to driver safety) found through these analyses was "reaction time"; to a lesser degree, lane-keeping performance also carries with it a "cost" when using a cell phone and driving simultaneously. What
" "It lets the parents follow up and make sure their kids have arrived somewhere," said George Grobar, general manager of Disney Mobile. But Pam Dickey, a parent in San Francisco who works for a major pharmaceutical company, says "We hardly have any privacy as it is now - you go to a gas station and there's a camera on you." You go to a neighbor's house and they have cameras
Cell Phone Use Should Be Banned While Driving Cellular telephones are fast becoming an important factor in highway safety. "Cellular phones are becoming increasingly universal, marked by a 1,685% increase in the number of users from 1988 to 1995." (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association). There are many studies currently being made looking into the risks involved with driving vehicles and talking on cellular phones. Many states are even experimenting with
Thus the N95 and similar efforts need to help to reposition Nokia again as a premium brand. Positioning: Nokia risks competition from single-focus competitors. BlackBerry is the acknowledged leader in e-mails through corporate servers, iPhone for iTunes compatibility, and Microsoft-enabled 5.0 PocketPC-equipped phones (such as the LG or Samsung sets) for compatibility with desktop and laptop PC programs. Product: Compatibility with computer operating systems is a constantly-changing universe. As Microsoft more
These are subjective values that represent the altruistic view of ethical behavior, and they apply to corporations as well as individuals within the corporations. Thus, the employees of the organization that sell phones to individuals who fit the profile of a terrorist or criminal are acting unethically, and it is the corporation's responsibility to ensure that does not occur. They should require some kind of identification or registration from all
