Cell Phone Danger
April 28th, 2010 Subscribe To Our Feed
Everybody knows what a cell phone is, of course, and don’t think of cell phone dangers as being a threat. But what most people don’t realize is that a cell phone isn’t really a phone! They send and receive radio frequency signals from a control tower, and in order to transmit a conversation they have to turn your voice into radio waves. So a cell phone is really a long-distance two-way radio.
It’s the fact that they use radio frequency radiation, or RF, that gives rise to cell phone dangers. I’ve been researching the topic of cell phone safety for years, and I think it’s important to put the debate over dangerous radiation into perspective.
In the course of history, there have been a few very important topics that took a long time for people to even talk about, much less conclude that something was dangerous. You can probably imagine some of the things I’m talking about global warming is a big issue that’s being debated back and forth right now among scientists, even though the government sometimes actively denies it.
Childhood obesity is another big issue lately. For a long time, no one wanted to admit that fast food and lack of exercise can hurt kids’ health, but now even McDonald’s themselves has introduced exercise equipment into their play yards and put healthy kids’ meals on the menu.
And of course, there’s the big one: cigarette smoking. We all know how long it took for the medical community, government, and finally the general public, to accept that smoking was harmful.
Well, folks, there’s yet another issue that science is only just now starting to take seriously, and that is cell phone dangers.

How Do I Get A Cell Phone Number By Name

I’m old enough to remember the time before cell phones, or mobile phones as they’re called in the UK, became a reality. Telephones without wires that you could take with you wherever you went were science fiction. We all watched James Bond and other hi-tech movies that showed agents with suitcase sized telephones and never in a million years did we every think that we would all be carrying one in our pockets one day.
In those days we were safe in the knowledge that we could find out anyone’s phone number by looking in the phone book. Everyone had a phone in their home and everyone’s number was listed, unless you had it excluded from of the book and became ex-directory. There was no way to contact someone when they weren’t at home. My daughter has no idea how life was even possible in those days.
Everyone has a cell phone in their pocket
Now that everyone has a cell phone and there is no equivalent of the telephone book listing of landlines, how do you get a cell phone number from someone’s name? You can’t just look it up in a phone book because there is no one big book of cell phone numbers and you can’t do a Google search for it because a search engine can only give you a result if the phone number has been placed on a web page by the target of your search. This is very unlikely because most people think that putting their phone number on the Internet is a risky thing to do and I would agree with them.
Help is on hand to find out information about anyone you want
There are online directories like the one in the link at the end of this article that have gathered together information from a multitude of public access databases and other sources of information. These directories make it easy for you search for all sorts of information on people including their cell phone numbers in many cases. Next to asking the person what their number is, this is the best chance that you’ve got of finding their cell phone number.

Are You Between a Rock and a Cell Phone?

Rapidly establishing themselves as a Road-Warrior’s rites of passage, there was a time when every traveling businessman had to have their PIM’s. Hardly a month went by before the technological cry went out for GIVE US MORE! The memory in the PIM’s was too limited and didn’t completely fulfill our out-of-office requirements. The cut-down versions of documents and spreadsheets were hard to manipulate with the small PIM screens and infinitely smaller key-buttons. So the technology fairy waved her magic wand and lo and behold - the sub-notebook!
That was what we had been waiting for! This was the answer to our prayers. - But it still meant we had to carry around our cell phones.
Enter the PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) from Palm Computing. The first two generations of this device were called PalmPilots They had everything the PIM’s had AND you could make a phone call. With their touch sensitive screens, they were an overnight sensation. More significantly they recognized the market was getting tired of having to regularly change devices as they outgrew their designed potential. In recognizing this, Palm Computing introduced the idea of future-proofing - by having upgrade modules that would replace internal hardware components as the market developed. This proved to be a highly successful campaign and virtually cornered the market in office mobility devices (OMD). The original modest device has now evolved into the Palm Treo. This device integrates a mobile phone, e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service) and instant messaging - all with an internal hard drive. The PIM has now cut its apron strings away from the home/office computer mothership.
In response to the success of the PalmPilots, Research In Motion (RIM) produced the BlackBerry. The success of this QWERTY keyboarded mini-office-on-steroids has lead to the word BlackBerry becoming a generic term that has nothing to do with any sweet tasting fruit. The latest embodiment of this technology is the BlackBerry Peal, so named because of the central track ball used to navigate the system options. Even though track balls have long been replaced by mice and joysticks as control devices, RIM have chosen the comfort factor of the small track ball for their diminutive techno-warrior. Since cell phones are small, RIM have come out with yet another innovation for the QWERTY keyboard. Each key ‘shares’ an alpha-numeric position. This could easily lead to total frustration when entering data - having to choose between two options on a single key. RIM have overcome this potential landmine by creating an integral artificial Intelligence software package called SureType. This anticipates the word you are typing and offers the most likely key choice for selection. There is a short learning curve until you get the feel of the road, then you will find it is in fact as fast as using a full keyboard. This is a very clever solution to providing more desk-real-estate on a limited lot.
In response to the BlackBerry, Motorola brought out the “Q”. This is a very thin, full-function, smartphone with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5. The “Q” is very light to carry. It really does fit in a shirt pocket without you having to lean forward to support it. The screen is extra-sharp with a 320×240 pixel resolution. A useful feature is the inbuilt speakerphone which may not sound too practical, but when you have your hands full - trying to locate necessary documents to support your calling customer, this feature is an ace. The QWERTY keyboard is generous and finger-friendly.
So where does the BlackJack come in? It comes from Samsung - and its shadow looms large on the horizon. Like the Motorola “Q” it is very thin, uses Windows Mobile 5 platform with pocket versions of Microsoft’s popular office suites. However it has GSM quad-band and UMTS dual-band technologies - to ensure wherever you are in the world, you will be able to communicate with your home or office. The screen is a high-res QVGA to accommodate all the web-based media players and entertainment you need. It also has integral HSDPA technology for FAST data transmission. This is an important consideration if you are traveling, because of the cost of distant airtime. Did I mention it also has a MicroSD slot? This device is an ultra-small removable flash memory card (up to 4GB) that will ensure that all your documents or multi-media programs will be portable and safe.
So if I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one mobile resource with me - what would I choose? I think I would choose NONE. With all the choices available, it is too much pressure trying to determine which one is going to be around in six months. At least you now have all the necessary information here to make your informed choice.
