The effects of Mobile phones on Society

There is no doubt about the importance of mobile phones in our lives and its influence on it, however on the other hand there are some negative impacts on our society as well. wether it was effecting our family or our health.
for example; Researchers in the university of florida argue about the negative effect of mobile phones on the family, such as the lack of quality time between family members, because with mobile phones, the time we spend with our family becomes limited and we lose the personal communication between the members of the family which could lead to unexpected results in family members behavior.

The effect of mobile phones does not only effect our families it also reaches to endangering the health life of many people. as Thomas 2004 agues that mobile phones has a very dangerous effect on brain cells and could cause cancer tumors in it due to the powerful microwaves produced from the mobile phone. also Allen 2008 states that using mobile phones with pregnant women can effect their unborn babies in their wombs and cause future problems in their children behavior.


Although the risks and dangers of mobile phones are proven, there still is lots of benefits gained from using mobile phones. Sedycias 2007 says “Cell phones have been found to be of great help in emergency situations and in times of disasters and natural calamities. These days most cell phones allow users to make `emergency calls`, so that such situations can be easily dealt with.”


Wether the mobile phone has a negative effect on society or not, it is still considered as an essential part of society that is default to live without.

  1. You have got the idea of a literature review so well done. The 'researchers from the University of Florida" needs a date and names. If there is more than one author you need to put "et al" after the first name mentioned.
