Weekly Analysis 5-Assignment 5-1


So lately it has been all over the news that cell phones can somehow be linked to cancer because of the radiation that they give off. Cell phone use has been put in the same “carcinogenic hazard” as engine exhaust, chloroform, and lead. The radiation that is coming off cell phones is like that of a microwave oven. No health issues have been linked to this yet, considering it is too early and takes a long time to find that type of thing out. Some phones, such as the iPhone and Blackberry, give a warning in the user’s manual to keep the phone at least 15 millimeters away from the body. In my opinion, I don’t think that, even though cell phones are labeled as possible carcinogens, people will stop using them. They are the fastest was to communicate with people. I feel that people should be aware, but it won’t stop them from using a cell phone.
