Top 3 Dangers Mobile Users Are Exposed to Every Day

The fear for cancer because of a mobile device has appeared earlier than the phone itself. Let’s indicate this mobile danger as #1.

Mobile Danger #2 is the possibility to drive in the median strip when you hands are engaged into sending SMS and the steering wheel is controlled with a left foot.

Today there appeared another kind of mobile danger. It turned out that the usage of mobile connection leads to the deceleration of brain activity.

Scholars from Australia, UK and the Netherlands have proved that the frequent usage of mobile devices leads to unbalanced behavior. 100 out of 300 participants of the experiment have proved to be inadequate in some sort of situations.

The results of the research have been published in International Journal of Neuroscience. A group of volunteers has been participating in the experiment for almost 2 years, but the scholars are planning more scaled project involving 17 000 volunteers. The published data say that the constant mobile users face significant deceleration of brain activity, with only the amendment that the brain activity stays within normal limits.

How the research has been conducted?

From the 300 volunteers 100 used mobile phones very often, another 100 didn’t posses mobile devices, the last 100 used mobile phones rarely. All the differences in the brain activity were thoroughly monitored with the help of encephalograms, analyzed. Moreover neuropsychological functions were compared: attention, memory, personal characteristics. The results show that, having got quite good results in many parameters, advanced mobile users were the last in such a parameter as sociability.

The scholars referred to other scientific research beginning from 1988, where the results of short-time mobile usage were observed. Some of the works prove that the usage of mobile phones, in contrary, increases the user’s productivity. This was caused by temporary rise of the brain’s temperature, which leads to the acceleration of metabolic processes.

Nonetheless, the results of that study prove to be unconvincing and insufficient today and need more proofs and explanations. Let’s wait for the results of the new, more complicated mass experiment.
