Cell Phones - Pros and Cons

Being in the 94 Northridge earthquake, a Cell Phone was the first purchase we made after the shaking stopped. Being without power or communication after an event like that made you feel vulnerable. The security of a Mobile phone would have been nice in those situations.

Many people these days use their cell phone for more then just communicating. People can playing games, use the web and do texting. As Wireless Phones have advanced so have the circuit inside of them. The switch from analog to digital reduced the cell phones wattage output from 1.2 to .6 reducing the threat of Brain Cancer.

Because of the cell phone you can get help much quicker in case of an accident, breakdown or just crazy drivers that need to be reported. We can even use cell phones to take pictures in cases of a unexpected event. So where's the harm? With all the different waves, radio waves, microwaves, short wave, long wave, why pick on the cell phone and radiation.

Now for the dark-side of cell phones and the wireless world. You still see people holding the phone up to their heads even though there are many headset choices. Besides the obvious distractions and rude usage (theaters etc), do cell phones pose a health threat? Well, it's to soon to tell there are studies on both sides of the issue and frankly they just don't know. As we see in the drug business it takes about 20 years for the FDA to fess up to the harm that is done by some drugs, you suppose the SEC would follow that pattern with Cell Phone Radiation issue?

If you do a search about high blood pressure and the affect cell phones have on it you'll find some interesting studies. If we take these studies at face value then it's not the cell phone that's the culprit, it's the electromagnetic waves it produces.

If you already have high blood pressure then it doesn't take much to raise it a few more points, the possibility that magnetic fields can do this might not be far fetched. We know some of the conversations we have on cell phones can raise our blood pressure, but what are the chances that the signal from your cell phone can too?

High Blood Pressure
