cELLO mANIA

In our modernized world, we all like or we can say addicted to use the most latest and fancy gadgets. But we don’t care for the harm they are doing to us, as it doesn’t appear sharply. The gadget like cell phone, we even can’t think about our life without it. In India the cell phone business is in flow. India at now is a home of 200 million mobile phone user with 60 million being added each month.

Phone too creates health problems. Cell phone usage has been suspect for time for the health hazards it poses. Studies have shown that people who use cell phone for long periods face the risk of developing malignant brain tumors; or it could lead to hearing impairment and sleep disorders and memory lapses. According to a survey, conducted by a Swedish scientist, indicates that’s an hour a day on a mobile phone for a decade is enough to increase the risk. Those who are much more addicted to their phones have double chances of developing a brain tumor on the side of skull where they held their handsets for over 10 years. The scientists have said to strictly prohibit children to use mobile phones because their thinner skull and developing nervous system made them especially vulnerable. This phone anxiety has added a new term in its dictionary and it is ringxiety. According to the psychiatrist it is a phenomenon in which users imagine their phone ringing or feel it vibrate when it is actually doesn’t.

For this there is no permanent solution since there is no replacement to phone, as it has become our essential part of living that is we can’t remove phone from our life but we can reduce its usage to have a painless and secure life. And yah the children must be discouraged to use mobile phones as they are our future generation.
