While the long term repercussions of mobile phone use still remain shrouded in mystery, several scientific studies have surfaced, bringing with them warnings and misgivings. One recent study at the Ben Gurion University tested the effects of mobile phone use on memory. The experiment included 48 right-handed men, solving a memory puzzle. One third of the men were asked to use a mobile phone on their left ear while attempting to solve the puzzle and their results were noticeably lower than those who used the phone on their right ear and those who did not use a phone at all. Regardless of the scientific infancy of the theory, we cannot dismiss the fact that not only do we not truly know the long term side effects of prolonged mobile phone use; we are also ignorant to when such ailments and conditions may surface. You can't live without a mobile phone in today’s culture, but that very same phone may end up being the death of you.
