TS+P4+Cell+Phones+FVG+Paper

Good Lots of good information and references to what you’ve read. But your paper is mainly a report on cell phones, their growing use and the different way of using them. Your only point on how they are affecting society is increased auto accidents and their health risks. It would have been nice to see a little more exploration into how these devices are changing us.

Francis There is much interesting information in your paper. But most of it is on how to use cell phones and their different uses. The part on data security was interesting, new information for me but had nothing to do with the topic of the paper “HOW ARE CELL PHONES CHANGING US AS A SOCIETY? Good paper GRADE B+ user:pbeder


 * __How cell phones affect a Community__**

Back in the days cell phones were larger in size and it would be embarrassing to

carry it around everywhere because it would look awkward to fit a device the size of a

foot in your pants pocket. Now cell companies came up with odd names for cell phones

such as the razor, chocolate and candy phones from Motorola. Today these cell phones

are thinner, lighter, fashionable and its easy to carry. Cell phones make communication

much more advanced, like you can send private messages, text message and you can also

surf the internet and download mp3s and videos. Also there is a new GPS system to see

where your friends are at so you can meet up with them and it makes communication

much more advanced. But there are some negative aspects of cell phones. Say you have a

cell phone that has built up information from text messaging or private messages, your

list of phone numbers and you deleted all that information before exchanging it for a new

model. That old cell phone’s lost information can be brought back by a program that is

very cheap or it is downloadable from the internet. In schools cell phones have been

banned because in schools they were not allowed but still students still bring them and if

students are caught with their cell phones chatting or texting, they will be confiscated.

Cell phone conversations are being monitored by government which has been proved in

the 911 incident. We do not have our full privacy for that. Cell phone users are growing

every year and companies are making lots of money and research shows that people using

cell phone often might be putting their health at risk because it is said that it can cause

brain damage.


 * __Selling Secrets with Cell phones__**

Cell phone owners delete their stored information such as videos and text

message before selling it most of the time. Either way even if you don’t delete it and

sell your phone its like handing over your diary. There are proof that information has

been resurrected. Experts from a compant, Trust Digital of McLean bought cell phones

from ebay to be tested. They found the following information from text messages

One company's plans to win a multimillion-dollar federal transportation contract. ,emails

about another firm's $50,000 payment for a software license,bank account numbers and

passwords, details of prescriptions and receipts for one worker's utility payments.

SIMCon is a program that allows the user to securely image all files on a

GSM/3G SIM card to a computer file with a standard smart card reader. The user

can then view the contents of the SIM card including stored numbers and text

messages in an archive. SimCon can be bought for $99.00 and is made for use

within law enforcement and is the investigating officer's number one choice for

securing evidence on SIM cards and present them in court. SIMCon can however

be a valuable tool for others who need to secure evidence from SIM cards, and

recover items such as deleted text messages. SIMCon is available for Microsoft

Windows only.


 * __Who makes up most of the cell phone users?__**

People today who live in the United Sates revolve around communication tools.

phones has increased by twenty four percent by teenagers. Not only has the number

 * __AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS__**

The extensive growth in the wireless communications industry over the past ten years has

been accompanied by growing concern for the possilbe hazards of drivers using wireless

communication devices in moving vehicles. The National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration's mission was to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce

traffic-related health care and other economic costs. Based on the information I have

collected I concluded that in some cases distraction can be caused by cellular telephone

while driving which increases car crashes.The research studies and crash data

show several factors by which cellular telephone use while driving can increase the

risk of a crash. Americans spend their time commuting with members

at work of high importance on keeping up with their tasks and activities. It is

not surprising that individuals will attempt to use their time with cell phones in their

car and by driving at the same time.
