If a kid is asked, what he or she wants on its birthday? The common answer is surely a Cell phone. Cell phones have become so popular these days especially among the adolescents that cell phone company sales have increased by a huge percentage in the recent years. It is because cell has become a style symbol. Formerly it was a need but now it has become a luxury. Every kid today longs for a cell phone whether he needs it or not and parents too fulfill each and every need of there child.
1. Littered school systems: There is lot of disturbance in schools due to cell phones. The head masters daily deliver lectures on this issue but the problem seems to have no solution. Some schools even have levied fines on the use of cells in the classrooms or even in school. School administrators are bothered about this problem. But if parents are considered they too carry the phones themselves and also back their children. So this should be forbidden. And kids and parents must support the school administration in maintaining the discipline.
2. Adverse effects on health: In mobile phones the data transmitter and receiver use microwaves for the purpose. Or you can say two cells get connected through the microwaves. These are very short wavelength waves and cause heating effect.
3. Loss of study: These days children wish to converse with a friend on the phone, do net surfing or to play game than to concentrate on studies. Some even have plans that cell to cell are unlimited. And many of the plans have free night and weekend plans.
4. Increase in expenses: Greater the number of cell phones in a home greater is the bill. Children don't care about how much their parents will pay for their luxuries, they are careless and don't most of them have sense of responsibility.
5. Increasing electronic waste: As the use of cell phones is increasing so is increasing the number of disposed off cells. Today every second person is keeping a cell phone, and when a person is all done with his cell then it is nothing more than a scrap. This electronic waste is posing huge danger to the environment.
So, if you are a new parent, you need pay more attention to your baby's health. I think you need a cell phone but not your baby. You can choose some other new things for her/his gift. For example: baby monitor.
