Technology Does Not Stand Still, Cell Phones Are No Exception

Telephones are no different

Over a 100 years ago, Mr. Bell invented the very first telephone machine. This new machine was owned exclusively by the elite. It allowed for an unprecedented speed of communication and became an instant hit amongst the chosen few. At the time it probably seemed like it wasnt going to get more convenient than that. But then came the cell phones. Todays cell phones are a far cry from the bulky back packs with antennas and 10$ a minute charges. Theyre light and convenient and cost the fraction of the price compared to a decade ago.

Theyve become so accessible that its normal for a child or a senior to have one. Words like Smart Phones and Reverse phone look ups have become part of our vocabularies. Some 3rd world countries are seriously considering providing their citizens exclusively with mobile networks instead of land ones. It costs less to build a network of cellular phone towers than to create a landline network.

Public needs to be aware

Its undeniable that cellular phones facilitate communication, but they did spawn some debatable issues. Reverse phone tracing comes to mind. If you were to look up a landline you would only get the postal address of the individual to whom the phone number belongs. However the cell phone tracing goes beyond that. You are now capable of finding out exactly where the person is located. This ability can be hazardous if it falls in the hands of the wrong people.

Conversely an ability like that can be used for tracking lost children. Cell phone search is not the sole issue related to cell phones. Mutation of brain cells and its relation to cell phone use is still being examined by the medical community.

Solution

Peoples elected representatives have to get more involved in these important manners. Average people should not have to worry about their safety and health and only a closely regulated cellular market can provide this safety.
