...What do cell phones, Twitter, and Facebook have in common? They are all emerging forms of communication. Communication is most commonly defined as “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals”. This exchange of information takes place constantly throughout the day for everyone, whether it is a lawyer talking business with his partner over the phone or a college student writing on Facebook in the back of his or her classroom. These new forms of communication, specifically the emergence of the cell phone and the more recent boom in social networking, have made the way we communicate with one another much different than how our parents used to communicate with one another. The critical forms of communication I will be focusing on are cell phones and social networking. An analysis of this emergence in communication technology reveals that while communication in our generation is much different and more advanced than it was in our parents’ generation, it is a positive change overall. The first form of communication I will be analyzing is the telephone. I will give a short history of this device. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 using a bar magnet, a coil of fine wire, and a thin metal disk. Over time, this device was perfected and features such as the telephone dial were invented. This allowed each phone to be assigned a unique telephone number, or address. Nowadays, the dial has been replaced by a tone telephone, making phones much more...

...The secret dangers of Cell Phone Usage Introduction Cell phones are incredible pieces of innovation and they are used everywhere in the world for communication. According to statistical data, The International Telecommunication Union reported that there were 6.8 billion mobile phone users in 2013. The leading countries were China, India and the USA respectively. However, in recent years, there have been increasing reports on the health risks that users of cell phones are exposed to. The danger can be avoided if necessary measures are taken. The aim of this essay is to evaluate these health risks. Increases risk of poor vision Staring at the phone over a long period leads to poor vision among users due to exposure to blue-violet light that it produces. Also, the screens of these devices are usually smaller compared to those of computers; hence, users are more likely to strain and squint their eyes while reading messages or scrolling the phone’s features. Users using cell phone application features such as internet, Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are at a high risk of acquiring eye problems due to prolonged periods of use. Brain damage According to recent research, long-term use of cell phones may lead to brain damage. This is because of extended exposure to electromagnetic radiation, which is absorbed by the brain tissue hence leading to acute brain damage. An individual suffering from brain damage usually has headache and poor memory. Use of earphones...
