Dangers of Cell Phones Essay Example

Have you ever wondered why you're never able to put down your phone? Many people spend countless hours on their phones and are never able to put them down. Sometimes people don't even realize how much time has passed since they started using their phone. Does this make you wonder about the dangers of having a phone? Some dangers phones bring into people's lives are severe health problems, self hate, and even loss of friends.

To begin with, cell phones cause people to have severe health problems. Because of phones some people can get a sickness called Phantom Pocket Vibration. Phantom Pocket Vibration is when you often feel your phone vibrating in your pocket and when you check it you find that it was´nt vibrating at all. Not only can people get Phantom Pocket Vibration but they can also get other illnesses such as Insomnia (which is where people can´t sleep at night because they are so focused on their phones.), stress, neurodegenerative diseases (brain damage), germs and infections, bad eyesight ( trying to often read small texts on phones can lead you to have a blurred vision, tired eyes, dizziness, and even migraines.), imposture (neck pains), and even concentration issues. While having a phone is like having a guardian angel it is also like having a dangerous piece of equipment that gives people everyday health problems.

Also, phones can cause people to have self hate. Whether it´s browsing through the internet or making tick-tock videos, young adults ages 14 through 20 often think they have to be the best in all the videos they make online and on chats with their friends. These young adults think they'll get likes and thumbs up if they do their best in their videos. When they check whatever app that they made their videos on they also look at all the other peoples videos and they see all the likes those people got and they compare the number of those likes with theirs. When they see the difference they end up feeling like other people are better than them and they also end up feeling left out. 

Lastly, phones can cause loss of friends. Cell phones are fun to use and ary very helpful in life. However these devices can lead to something called phone snubbing or phubbing for short. Phubbing is when a person ignores his or her friends to look at their phone. Phubbing can lead to a loss of friends and can also have a major impact on relationships. People who have anxiety or depression are more likely to phub their friend(s) than people who just have phone addictions. Although some people may have very strong friendships are more likely to phub when three or more people are around. Not only can cell phones cause severe health issues but they can also prioritize how many friends a person can make.

In conclusion, people who use cell phones are at a great risk. Cell phones can cause people to have severe health problems, self hate, and even loss of friends. Some people say that cell phones are an amazing part of life but I say that cell phones are a dangerous and severe risk in life and they can make the world collapse around you.
