For example, if we use the cellular phone in along duration, it would deliver heat that can “sting” our ear. Moreover, a group of people try to proofing the danger of cellular phone radiation with an egg putted on the frying pan, and a cellular phone in call condition put beside it.

And the other example, if we go somewhere, and we still want everyone can know our condition, we can bring the cellular phone to realize it. And a lot of the advantages of communication, especially the develop of cellular phone that can make our live better.

After we knew the advantages and the disadvantages of using cellular phone, we must wise to use it. Consider of its radiation, we should make a call not in a long duration, or if we still want to call with a long duration we can use the cellular phone with optional application or device such as loudspeaker and headset, in order to minimize the radiation that can affect our health. Basically, a technology was developed to make people live better, not to destroy the human being. So we must control the technology and use it wisely in order to reach the goal of the technology development reason: to make people live better.
