Hand free cell phone use

The article beings stating that cell phones may play a large role in an increase in cancer and have banned in certain areas of the world. I personally do not agree that it causes cancer or at least I haven't seen good evidence that states that cell phones do 'insert scientific word' which in turn creates cancer in humans. What are your opinions? Have you seen any solid evidence to show this fact?

Hands free cell phone devices are being banned in areas around the world, while places such as England are looking to even ban the use of cellphones themselves in cars. They claim that the use of this type of technology creates a large distraction for up to 10 minutes after the conversation ends. So when driving, your mind tends to be elsewhere and usually on the past conversation or the conversation as it is taking place. Oddly enough, cellphone use in the car is more distracting than having an actual person in the car with you? I find that hard to believe considering the fact that I know I could be just as absent minded with someone in the car as well as with someone being on the phone with me.

I guess all in the all, I think the ban of cell phone use while driving should be in place in all states and all countries because it really does cause a distraction and causes many accidents, rather than banning it because it may cause cancer? Everything seem to cause cancer!

  1. I just saw on the news that in California (where it's against the law to be on the phone without a hands free device) that Maria Shriver (Gov. Swartzenegger's wife)was cited for her 3rd violation of the law. C'mon lady, support your husband . . .and the state!

  2. Hahah that is funny. However, I posted another article which proves a good point that instead of blaming the use of cell phones being the main distraction..but they should first test their actual reaction time and then test with the use of cellphones.

    Maybe mythbusters should do this? Or have they..?
