5 Reasons To Throw Your Mobile Out of WindowWe have gotten so addicted to mobile phones that we cannot believe life existed before them. They have become an integral part of our daily lives – our loyal companions who we keep in our pockets, purses, or palms. We use mobile phones for talking, texting, emailing, gaming, web browsing, photography, video recording, banking, and for running applications for just about everything. With mobile phones transforming into super smartphones, and the availability of thousands of smartphone apps, our dependency upon them is continually rising. I know you love your mobile phone, but did you know that there are real dangers to owning and using it? Let me walk you through some of them.
1. Attack on Privacy While a mobile phone keeps you connected to those who matter to you, it can also expose your whereabouts to those who you actually want to hide from. And, it does not require you to answer the call to disclose that information – mobile and its technology can trick you into the trap. This may lead to serious problems, for you, which may require a lifetime to resolve. Here are some examples:
Yes, a GPS enabled mobile phone leaves you with little privacy. The location-aware services can track every little movement of yours without your permission.
2. Health Risk Mobile phone usage has long been linked with health hazards. Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiations which many researchers believe can lead to serious health problems like brain cancer, infertility, sleep disorder, and neurological issues. A lot of it may be just rumormonger or pure suspicion. But why wait for the scientists to establish the dangers? God didn’t send us with these radio devices and our older generations lived pretty happily without them. Nokia or Apple may, but the world at large shouldn’t come to an end if we stopped using mobile phones.
3. Unwanted Distractions The mobile phones look, and feel, pretty cool until they ring when you are focused on some important work, meeting some special folks, or simply trying to relax a bit. It’s not always easy to remember to turn them off when you don’t want them ringing. They can cause mild headache or discomfort when they distract you at the wrong hour no matter how much you otherwise like your ringtone. Also, if you answer the unwanted calls you end up killing your own productivity. And, hectic lives require time and energy to be wisely conserved.
4. Pain in Pocket Mobile makers made mobile phones but did not, till date, solve the problem of carrying them around. Their sizes vary and you cannot always fit them in your pockets. You buy cell phone cases but often they expect you to have a bigger case, purse or bag. Not everyone can slap the mobile on their waist. If you hold it in your palm, you are likely to lose it to a sofa or table. You can also not get the pockets of all your trousers altered to accommodate your phone. Even if you are the lucky one to have good sized pockets, you look funny with your phone sticking out of them. What a pain in the pocket!
5. Talking Costs Mobile phone addiction can result in shocking bills at the end of the month. The whole concept of metering the talk is ridiculous. Don’t you hate that your bill goes up with every syllable you utter? Even in case of flat rates, talking does not come cheap. You know it better. Cell phones make calls effortless which leads to higher phone usage and higher cost. Money that you could save for your retirement gets smoked on mobile bills. How sad! Just throw that mobile menace, you are holding tight to, out of the window and see how peaceful and productive life gets. But is that possible? The pros of cell phones weigh too heavy on cons.
