Reverse cell phone look up : can be risky!

This can be called the era of communication. Things like VOIP and Instant messengers are quickly taking over. What was once the prime way of communication is referred to as “snail” male in today’s net jargon. If I was to send an email to someone in a different country he or she would have it almost instantly. 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

More than a century passed since Mr. Graham made the first phone apparatus. During that time only scientists and the “1 percent of the population” were able to permit themselves such a luxury item. The primitive carbon transmitter allowed for a peerless speed of communication across great distances. At the time it probably seemed like it wasn’t going to get more convenient than that. However, the inception of cell phones surpassed all expectations.

Today’s cell phones are a far cry from the bulky back packs with antennas and 10$ a minute charges.

The phones we’re using today weight grams and are dirt cheap in comparison to their predecessors. The popularity and accessibility turned them into a “must have” item across all demographics. Things like reverse phone look ups and ring tones are the talk of the town. Some 3rd world countries are seriously considering providing their citizens exclusively with mobile networks instead of land ones. Cell phone towers are much cheaper in construction and maintenance which makes them an ideal alternative.

 

Public needs to be aware

Cell phones are great. But public needs to pay close attention to how they evolve. For instance a landline reverse phone look up can only give you the person’s postal location and name. In contrast, the reverse cell phone look up might provide you with the exact location of the individual (if he or she has GPS installed on the phone). This ability can be hazardous if it falls in the hands of the wrong people. Conversely an ability like that can be used for tracking lost children. 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.

 

What’s the Key?

People’s elected representatives have to get more involved in these important manners. Average people should not have to worry about their safety and health and only a closely regulated cellular market can provide this safety.
