Reverse phone look ups : can be risky!
This can be called the era of communication. The creation of World Wide Web has dramatically changed how we communicate with each other. I remember how it used to take up to 3 weeks, for a friend in a different country, to receive my written letters. Today's electronic mail is sent and received in mere seconds. We now have the ability to inquire about what our friend in China had for dinner and can get an answer before he eats supper.
Phone craze
In 1876 the first telephone was created . This new machine was owned exclusively by the elite. Edison/Berliner transmitter gave people the ability to communicate with their peers who were in different house holds. Many believed that this was the final frontier of communication. But then came the cell phones. Today's cell phones are a far cry from the bulky back packs with antennas and 10$ a minute charges. In contrast to their ancestors our mobile phones are weightless and cost nothing. It seems that today almost everyone has got to have one. Things like reverse phone look ups and ring tones are the talk of the town. It's been said that many developing nations will skip over the landline era and jump right into the cell phone one. It costs less to build a network of mobile telephone towers than to create a landline network.
Public needs to be aware
It's undeniable that cellular phones facilitate communication, but they did spawn some debatable issues. For instance a landline reverse phone look up can only give you the person's postal location and name. However the cell phone tracing goes beyond that. You are now capable of finding out exactly where the person is located. I think it's a border line violation of privacy. On the other hand it's a handy tool for a responsible parent. Cell phone search is not the sole issue related to cell phones. Scientists are still debating if prolonged exposure to cell phone waves is linked to cases of brain tumours.
Answer
I believe that the government needs to jump on the cell phone wagon and pay a closer attention to what is happening in the cell phone industry. This is probably the only solution that will help an average consumer feel safer in this era of communication.
