Cell phones are one of the most widely used technology on this planet today. Most people in the world access the internet right on their cell phone, rather than on a computer. But the question still echos, are cell phones safe, even today? The answer is not clear. Research has been going on for more than a decade, but the results are still being interpreted. Many experts in the fields of cancer research, epidemiology, electrical and computer engineering and electromagnetic radiation see cause for concern, but many others don’t. Supposedly, the radiation emitted from cell phones is at a low enough frequency that it would not damage cells, but this is still being disputed.
We still don’t know to what extent it affects humans. The trend may be scary in the future though, take cigarettes for example, it took 30 to 40 years after they were mass produced for a noticeable change in lung cancer to be noticed. More explaining is done in this article from CNET.
