The radiations emitted by cell phones are no doubt harmful for all of us, but when it comes to kids, these radiations are way too hazardous and life threatening.
Kids skin tissues and cells are in the growing phase, thus are too sensitive to such rays. A child’s bone marrow absorbs ten times more radiations than that of an adult. Excessive exposure to cell phones increases the risk of brain cancer in kids as well as adults.
Mobile phones have become a vital aspect of our lives in the past few years but as they say, all things come up with their own pros and cons, even cell phones do.
Mobile manufacturers have got the trick to target the right audiences. They advertise and develop games and apps in such a way that kids fall prey to these products. Kids these days lack creativity and interest in most of the activities due to their increasing likability towards virtual games and apps.
Cigarettes, liquor and many other substances that are harmful to our health, come with a warning, unlike cell phones, that are damaging our brain cells with each and every passing day. We all have become addicted to our mobile phones in a way that it becomes quite difficult for us to manage things without the help of this electronic device.
Although telecommunication has made our lives lot easier than ever before, it has also increased the risk of certain types of cancers and various heart diseases. Cell phones constantly release signals in the form of radiations which are harmful to our health. Prolonged exposure to these rays can cause serious health hazards in the long run.
Kids these days are very much inclined towards mobile gaming, surfing and browsing the internet so it becomes very difficult for parents to keep them away from these gadgets. Least we can do is implement a specific time limit only between which the kid can make use of the cell phone or other similar gadgets.
