AT & Tumor


This picture displays two young females engaging in conversations using a cellular phone. They both appear to be enjoying their conversations, hence their jovial facial expressions. However, if they knew about the risks that they were taking, those smiles would definitely turn into poignant frowns. In the back of this photo, a cell phone tower is shown sending out electromagnetic signals. It also appears that the young girls’ cell phones are emitting radiation directly through their heads. Because radiation cannot be seen with the naked eye, the girls probably aren’t aware of this gravely dangerous situation. The gruesomeness of this picture is depicted through the developing tumors that are vividly visible.

It’s rational to conclude that the picture is implying that mobile phone exposure increases the risks of a person developing brain tumors. I think that children are shown in this picture because they are largely affected by this kind of exposure. Young children are especially impacted by the radiation that cell phones emit, due to their thin cranial structures. Adults have thicker skulls which don’t allow most radiation to reach the brain.

This picture supports my argument that cell phones are indeed dangerous when they are placed up to one’s head, therefore texting should be utilized more frequently. Text-messages incur less negative effects and are overall healthier than talking on cellular phones.

It’s not difficult for this picture to have an emotional effect on the viewer. Because cell phone use is so prevalent amongst the younger generation, it’s easy for teenagers and young adults to relate to this photo. It provokes the viewer to question his or her own cell phone habits and usage.

  1. This picture definitely drew an emotional response from me. Cell phones are such a huge part of our society's lives, no one thinks of phones as being dangerous. In many cases, they are seen as a safety toolin case of emergencies. I have seen studies that say the amount of radiation cell phones emmit do not hurt the brain, though. Since cell phones have become popular only within the psat decade or so, it might be difficult to find research on their long-term effects.
