Whether you like it or not, cell (mobile) phones have become a standard accessory for people living in the developed world. However, they have not always integrated with our societies quite as effortlessly as some phone producers might have hoped. Certain groups of people claim that mobile phones are responsible for causing some cancers and others argue that they offer children a level of freedom that they are not ready for. What mosy do agree on however is that many people’s lives have been made a great deal safer thanks to mobile phones and their ability to connect people everywhere

When mobile phones first came onto the market and were commercially viable for the masses, parents were faced with something of a dilemma. Most instantly recognised that being able to keep in touch with their children, whenever and wherever has huge benefits for their safety. That said, there was always the possibility that children with phones were more likely to be the victim of theft and additionally, parents were unable to completely control how their children used their phones. After a couple of years it became obvious that the benefits far outweighed the risks, and soon every child in the developed world had their own phone on their bedside tables.The risk of having your phone stolen was also very much reduced when cell phone operators started being able to block phones from working after they had been reported as stolen. Children where able to carry phones around with them wherever they went without the risk of coming into harm from someone wanting to steal it.

It is not just children that are helped to be safe by mobiles phones either. Many adults have found the benefits of being able to call help when they have been in a car accident, find where the nearest hospital is, or even find their way home in a blizzard. By allowing people to stay in contact with those close by or the other side of the world, many thousands of lives have been saved and much harm prevented. As they develop also, we will find new ways of using them to our advantage and their potential for good is almost limitless.
