The largest study of its kind has suggested that the link between cell phones and brain cancer is still inconclusive. The study followed 13,000 cell phone users over a 10 year period. Prior studies of this type have been funded by handset manufacturers and has relayed information with a noticeable skew. A new study is underway to follow handset users more closely over the next 30 years to study long term health effects. It seems we are destined to never find a conclusive answer to this elusive question.

A new study has just been released by Osterman Research, that identifies potential problems with email addiction. 94% of the studies respondents admitted to sending email and text on work nights and weekends, of those 96% keep their phone with them at all times. 79% will send a message from the bathroom, 77% while driving a moving vehicle, 41% during a flight, and 11% during intimate behavior. There are real risks with a persons relationships with email addiction. 80% of the IT professionals surveyed believe that the loss of mobile email would inhibit executive managers ability to make critical time-sensitive decisions. Really, what do they need an answer to so badly that their senior managers can not even potty in peace!
Recent studies have been done to figure out just how far cell phone use has spread. We have become dependant enough that 1 in 5 teens age 10-17 would rather give up watching tv to keep their cell phone if they were forced to choose. The study also says that 54% of 8-12 year old children will have a cell phone by 2010. Currently 60% of teenagers have a cell phone. This brings into light the question "How young is to young for a cell phone?" I think this should be each parents individual choice, based on both need, and the responsibility of the child in question. Why do they want the phone? Looking cool, and fitting in alone are not enough to warrant the purchase.

We know that today one of our most important possessions is our cellular phone. The cell phone has become to important to a couple of children in Spain. Their parents say that cell phone addiction has made their children perform poorly in school, and spending money coned from relatives through lies. The 12 and 13 year olds were sent to a mental health clinic to "dry out" and learn to cope with their dependency on their cell phone.
