MOBILE PHONES: are they about to transform our lives?

to our privacy We rely on them more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services

Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generations phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely

positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them Research about users of mobile phones reveals that

mobiles as an expression of their identity This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging was seen as a way of

overcoming shyness The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendship and
