Whether you like it or not, cell (mobile) phones have become a standard accessory for people living in the developed world. Their rise to the most popular personal gadget ever has been a controversial one. Certain groups of people claim that mobile phones are responsible for causing some cancers and others argue that they offer children a level of freedom that they are not ready for. However, what people tend to agree on unanimously is that mobile phones have connected people all over the world and this has had the knock on effect of making people’s lives safer
There was a dilemma faced by parents up and down the country when mobile phones finally arrived on the mass markets. It was obvious that allowing children access to a mobile phone could be very beneficial in terms of staying in touch with them and finding out if they are OK. However, there were the inevitable concerns about how children would be using their phone and if they would be targeted by thieves given the expense of phones. After a couple of years it became obvious that the benefits far outweighed the risks, and soon every child in the developed world had their own phone on their bedside tables.Further more, the risk of being a theft victim was dramatically reduced when service providers enabled people to block their phones if they had been stolen. Mobile phones were now a safe accessory to carry around and they have been bought for children ever since to help them stay safe.
Children are not the only ones to benefit from mobile phones in terms of safety. Millions of adults have also benefited from using their mobiles to get out of dangerous situations, from being able to call for help after an avalanche, to delivering a baby via guidance over the phone from a midwife. By allowing people to stay in contact with those close by or the other side of the world, many thousands of lives have been saved and much harm prevented. The rate at which phones progress is also quite staggering and their are new features being added all the time that can potentially help safety in more ways.
