Love them or hate them, mobile (cell) phones are here to stay and more popular than ever. However, they have not always integrated with our societies quite as effortlessly as some phone producers might have hoped. 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
When mobile phones first came onto the market and were commercially viable for the masses, parents were faced with something of a dilemma. Most instantly recognised that being able to keep in touch with their children, whenever and wherever has huge benefits for their safety. That said, there was always the possibility that children with phones were more likely to be the victim of theft and additionally, parents were unable to completely control how their children used their 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. Additionally, when the ability to block stolen phones was developed, it almost eradicated phone thefts overnight. Children where able to carry phones around with them wherever they went without the risk of coming into harm from someone wanting to steal it.
The improved overall safety is not just limited to children either. Many adults have found the benefits of being able to call help when they have been in a car accident, find where the nearest hospital is, or even find their way home in a blizzard. 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.
