It seems
It´s seeming that I constantly hear the same thing: “Cell phones are dangerous. We´re needing to severely restrict them. People are dying because of cell phones.”
Well, I´m thinking cell phones themselves aren´t the problem. I´m completely opposed to restrictions on them, and here´s why.
First, people say cell phones are dangerous to health, so they should be limited.
Supporters of this idea say there are being studies showing that cell phones produce radiation that is harmful to users. I think this is nonsense. There hasn´t been any real proof. It´s sounding like just another study that ultimately isn´t meaning anything.
Second, a lot of teachers are proposing that we not allow cell phones in classes because they´re are a distraction. I feel pretty angrily about this. Here´s a good example. Two weeks ago in my history class, one of the students was having her cell phone on because her mother was really sick and might need a ride to the hospital. The student´s mother couldn´t contact anyone else. In fact, the student´s mother did call, and the student found someone to help her mother. What if her cell phone hadn´t been on? The teacher would have felt pretty bad.
Third, people argue that using a cell phone while driving is dangerous. I disagree. It´s not more dangerously than turning on the car radio or eating a sandwich. People do those things when they drive. The law says you must have one hand on the steering wheel. It´s possible to use a cell phone correct with one hand. I use my cell phone careful; I always keep one hand on the wheel. Maybe there should be training in ways to use a cell phone good, but we shouldn´t prohibit using cell phones in cars.
This has always been a free country. I hope it stays that way.
