Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one.In many countries,cell phones 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 explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried.Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones.In England,there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand,why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones?Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment.In one case,a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss.He couldn’t remember even simple tasks.He would often forget the name of his own son.This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,every day of his working week,for a couple of years.His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use,but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.

What is it that makes mobile phones 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.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent,stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.

The 57?year?old,father?of?three,revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone,” the self?made billionaire explained.

He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining,“All the other kids have one.I’m the only one without one.It’s so embarrassing.”

Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts,Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer,16,who he describes as “independent”.He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now”.

Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates,who live in Lake Medina,have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.

It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.

And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intends to give most of his $61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down.“That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society,” he said.

Also during the Today interview with host Matt Lauer,Mr Gates,who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy,said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.

“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved.If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it—it lets them get their work done in better ways—that’s exciting,” he explained.
