The new technology today has some positive and some negative effects on society. With all of the new technology today the cell phone has to be one of the best inventions ever. What did we do before the cell phone? I know that most people today are lost without theirs that includes me and everyone I know.
One of the greatest things that the cell phone has done for us is the emergency use. If you witness an accident, you could potentially save someone's life by having that cell phone to call for help. There are 160,000 wireless emergencies calls every day. If you were involved in an accident yourself you could call and save your own life. Having a cell phone while driving can also be a bad thing because of all the people driving down the road talking and texting while they drive could be a cause of some of the accidents that we could use our cells phones to call in.
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed a camera and didn't have one? Well all you need now is your cell phone, because most models have a camera on them. Not only do they have just a camera but they have a memory card that you can take out and put into you're your computer and upload your pictures to the internet. Now that we have all this technology at our fingertips we tend to take advantage of all of it. I use my cell phone and my laptop to do all the things I need, like pay bills get a hold of people, play games and even do all of my school work.
Even though we have all this technology we still have a down side to it. Some scientists say that the use of a cell phone can cause cancer. Some studies say that the absorption of electromagnetic waves produced from cell phones can cause sleep deprivation and high blood pressure as well. Other studies also suggest that the prolonged use of a cell phone by males can cause a reduced semen quality.
No matter what the media may tell us about our cell phones, we all need them and will continue to use them as we see fit. It may be debatable to some but for me the cell phone is the best invention ever.
