Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many 
countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of 
communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. 
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professio...ones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very 
small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say 
the amount is too small to worry about. 
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your 
regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can 
be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says 
they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
