It doesn’t matter if you’re against them or have embraced them fully, mobile (cell) phones are now ingrained in our society. Their progression into staple tools of our lives has not always been a smooth one however. Some people believe that their radio waves have harmful effects on the body and others believe that they are making children illiterate. 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
There was a dilemma faced by parents up and down the country when mobile phones finally arrived on the mass markets. The clear benefits of being able to stay in touch children 24/7 and know their whereabouts added a huge amount to the appeal of mobile phones for adults. 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.Further more, the risk of being a theft victim was dramatically reduced when service providers enabled people to block their phones if they had been stolen. Children could now report in with their parents, phone for help if it were needed, and even warn others of potentially harm almost instantly.
The improved overall safety is not just limited to children either. Millions of adults have also benefited from using their mobiles to get out of dangerous situations, from being able to call for help after an avalanche, to delivering a baby via guidance over the phone from a midwife. Simply by enabling anyone and everyone to be reachable and to reach out, mobile phones have prevented many potentially dangerous situations and minimised the harm of many others. As mobile phones start to get more functions and become ever more interactive, their usefulness in terms of safety is elevated and will continue to be so.
