Ultimately, there’s no clear answer, but we do know that it is not without its drawbacks. The benefits and risks of using a smartphone are often linked.
Impact Of Mobile Phones On Society
The Impact of Mobile Phones on Society is a hot topic these days, as more people rely on their smartphones to conduct business and communicate with loved ones.
Although many of us are aware of the negative impact of mobile phones, there is also a positive impact that these devices have had on society. Even the simplest activities performed by mobile phones, such as texting and talking, have changed the lives of billions of people.
Take, for example, a poor woman from India who used microfinance to buy a cell phone. Now she uses it to call farmers from her village in search of markets to sell their produce. The farmers have the advantage of obtaining the best prices for their produce, which benefits their customers and the farmer.
In general, the Impact of Mobile Phones on Society survey found that most people were concerned about how mobile phones affect their children and society.
However, publics in Lebanon, Jordan, and Tunisia were particularly critical of the issue. The more positive side of this story is found in Kenya, where more than half of the public believes that mobile phones have improved children’s health and society. Filipinos, South Africans, and Kenyans are also positive in most areas.
Impact Of Mobile Phones On Health
When it comes to the question of whether mobile phones impact our health, the results are mixed. A majority of non-users believe that mobile phones are a good thing, helping people stay connected with family and friends and improving concentration.
However, less than a quarter of those surveyed feel mobile phones are detrimental to health. This disparity is largely due to the fact that non-users’ perceptions of the impact of mobile phones tend to mirror those of mobile phone users.
While cellular phone usage is not thought to cause cancer per se, scientists are investigating whether it contributes to brain cancer. While cell phone radiation is higher in energy, there is no clear evidence that using a cell phone causes cancer.
Although cell phone use is known to contribute to brain cancer, the risk of brain cancer from cell phones isn’t as high as many believe. The study that was conducted on hand-held phones is the most rigorous to date.
Although mobile phones make life easier, they also have many negative consequences. Teens who spend excessive time messaging may suffer from a condition called Teen Tendonitis. This disease causes pain in the hands, neck, and back. It can also cause poor posture.
Excessive mobile phone use may also lead to musculoskeletal disorders. For this reason, the use of cell phones should be limited. There are no known protective measures against cell phone radiation, but you can still limit your use and stay healthy.
Impact Of Mobile Phones On Work
Despite the widespread use of smartphones, many people still don’t know how much the impact of mobile phones on their work is. According to a recent CareerBuilder survey, almost half of employers said that employees’ use of mobile phones impacted the quality of their work.
Other problems associated with mobile phone usage include missed deadlines and decreased morale. Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer on how to regulate the use of cell phones at work. Listed below are some of the most common problems associated with smartphone use.
Many people feel that the time savings that cell phones offer is outweighed by the time they waste. While 33% of cell phone owners say their cell phones save them time, only 3% say they cost them time.
And while this difference is large, it doesn’t mean that cell phone use is entirely negative. A majority of cell phone owners believe that cell phones make it difficult to disconnect from their jobs. That’s especially true for people with higher income levels.
Conclusion
The findings support the theories of smartphone addiction and work productivity impairment. For example, the study’s use of the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI)-General Health questionnaire found that higher levels of smartphone use were associated with decreased work productivity and fewer uninterrupted minutes of work.
Other findings show that a connection was found between smartphone use and the number of hours lost or worked, and a moderate negative relationship was observed between the two.
