I. Introduction
According to : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.

In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

Disadvantages & Advantages of Cell phone
According to : http://vidyaprakash.expertscolumn.com/article/disadvantages-cell-phones

Cell phone is playing an important role in this modern world. It is very hard to see a person without a mobile phone. Even a little kid have the ability to access the cell phone fluently without any problem. Kids are very much interested in playing games in mobile phone and spending a lot of time with it.

As we know too much of cell phone usage is not good for us and it will give some unwanted health issues. Cell phone will create some unwanted radiation which is not good for our brain. A person who is using cell for a long time will surely get health issues due to it. We must control our cell activities. Avoid using it for a long time and use it whenever necessary.

Listening music using the ear phone is the new trend of the youngsters and most of the persons are interested in listening music with their hands free while riding their two wheeler. Really it is a dangerous thing which causes a lot of unwanted accidents. Most of the two wheeler accidents are happened due to this activity.

Now we are living a fast life and don 't have enough time to meet our friends and family members. Simply we make a call to them and ask about their updates.
Previously people will meet their friends and beloved persons directly and ask about their present status, but now it is easy to communicate with anyone using the phone and most of the persons are converted to this trend it reduce the get together and social reunions a lot.

Students will get diversion with cell phones, they are spending a lot of time with cell phone chatting and browsing online through their smart phone and reduce their studying activity. Most of the students are turned as cell phone and online addicts which is a great disadvantage. There is nothing wrong in using cell phone, we must use it in a limited manner to avoid unwanted issues due to it.

Statement of the problem

Cell phones have recently become an asset to society. Because of this, many of the negatives to cell phone ownership have been overlooked. Just a few of these problems are :

Increases the likelihood of traffic accidents
Increases the risk of brain cancer

Scope and Limitations
The research that I will conduct is only limited to students, particularly 4th year – Springtime batch 2013-2014

Cell phones do more harm than good

According to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone

A hand-held mobile radiotelephone is an old dream of radio engineering. Arthur C. Clarke in a 1959 essay, where he envisioned a "personal transceiver, so small and compact that every man carries one." He wrote: "the time will come when we will be able to call a person anywhere on Earth merely by dialing a number." Such a device would also, in Clarke 's vision, include means for global positioning so that
"no one need ever again be lost." Later, in Profiles of the Future, he predicted the advent of such a device taking place in the mid-1980s

The most commonly used data application on mobile phones is SMS text messaging. The first SMS text message was sent from a computer to a mobile phone in 1992 in the UK, while the first person-to-person SMS from phone to phone was sent in Finland in 1993.

Mobile phones are used for a variety of purposes, including keeping in touch with family members, conducting business, and having access to a telephone in the event of an emergency. Some people carry more than one cell phone for different purposes, such as for business and personal use. Multiple SIM cards may also be used to take advantage of the benefits of different calling plans—a particular plan might provide cheaper local calls, long-distance calls, international calls, or roaming. The most advantage of having mobile phone is you can communicate with your family, and friends no matter where you are. Cell phones also have applications for listening to music, playing games, and surfing the net.

Besides that, there are lots of disadvantages. Using mobile phones can harm our brains, especially for those who are under the age of sixteen. Excessive use of mobile phones has been accused of causing dizziness, and “radiations emitted from the phone are harmful for the eardrum”, say many scientists. In addition, when we use mobile phones while driving it causes unwanted accidents.

Negative effects of cell phones on our brain

Radiation from mobile phones may cause brain tissue damage, a two-year study

has found.

Scientists discovered that emissions from handsets affect the delicate make-up of

cells in blood vessels, and could be a health hazard to regular users of the UK 's

50million mobile phones.

The radiation might disable a safety barrier in the body which protects the brain

from harmful substances in the blood, they believe.

It is the first time scientists have used cells from human blood vessels rather than

rats, bringing researchers closer to the truth about long-term mobile phone use.

Despite the millions spent on research in the last decade, the health implications of

sustained use are still unclear.

The biggest British study, led by Sir William Stewart, found two years ago that

there was no evidence of a risk to health. A study published last year by the

American National Cancer Institute also could not find a link between increased

risk of brain cancer and mobile use.

III. Research Methodology

Research Design
Name:
Age:
Sex:
1. How often do you use your cell phone ?
2. Do you know that using cell phone too much causes unwanted damages to the brain ? If yes. Do you believe that children below 10 years of age shouldn’t use cell phones ?
3. Is it really necessary for a person to have a cell phone ? Explain.
4. Is cell phone a disadvantage or advantage to your life ? Explain.

Data Gathering Procedure
The researcher will randomly ask ten (10 ) representatives out of the 37 students in the 4th year. A questionnaire was prepared by the researcher that will be used as a reference. The survey was conducted through the net.

IV. Analysis and Interpretation of Data

This chapter presents the findings, analysis and interpretation of data gathered by the researcher whose main objective is to find out the different perspectives of people and to find out what kind of damage our cell phone will do to our brain and also to state some advantages of it.

Through my research I’ve found out that many scientist have and will conduct research about the radiation that we can get from cell phones. Mostly scientist from
America conducts these kinds of researches. I also found out that the radiation of the cell phone emits is dangerous to all of us. Especially those who are 16 years of age and below.

I also found out that there is not enough proof that cell phones can really damage our brain. Someone said that it is early for us to conclude that cell phones are bad for our health. Because even scientists can’t really find the right answer to our questions. A scientist said that we don’t know what will be the impact of the radiation of the cell phone emits will do to us if we still use it for the next 10 or even 20 years. He also said that that is the reason why we need to conduct more studies. According to my survey

9 out of 10 said that they always use their cell phones.

9 out 10 said that they know that using cell phone too much causes unwanted damages to the brain.

10 out of 10 said that having cell phone is necessary because it’s time for us to upgrade and use the cell phone to communicate and because it is easier to do, it also takes less of our time if we use our cell phones as I have said in my introduction cell phones are wireless, we can use them anywhere.

5 out of 10 said that cell phones are advantages to their lives. Because it makes almost everything easy.

1 out of 10 said that it is a disadvantage because is makes us lazy.

4 out of 10 said that they pick advantage and disadvantage.
