Introduction Today, mobile phone has become popular with everybody as it is very convenient to use.

The advantage of having a mobile phone is you can communicate with your family and your friends no matter where you are. For instance, you can contact your friends easily by calling or sending messages everywhere. It is the main reason why almost all people today choose to own a mobile phone. Students need the phone for safety and security reasons. From the customers point of view, it is obvious that mobile phones assist you in business a lot, such as, make schedule of working, surf the internet, and keep in touch with their companies. Moreover, you can relax with mobile phones applications, for example, play games, listen to music, or chat with your friends. On the other hand, there are certain disadvantages.

Nowadays, many types of mobile phones we can see in market. This is due to demand of our technology world which encourages most activities to be done using mobile phone. All business is just on our fingertips by using mobile phones technology. We can see many brands such as Sony Eriksson, LG, Nokia, Samsung and the newest that come from our own country is CSL. But, are we realize that this can give many problems? We can see it in many aspects. I give two example aspects, social lives and health. Mobile phones can make a person to contact only through the phone and lazy to meet outside. Isnt this can affect social life because mobile phones make one spend most time either on chatting, messaging include surfing internet. On other hand, radiation can affect ones health such as neuro problem and also cancer. From those two aspects, I can say that I dont think that advantages outweigh the disadvantages of mobile phones. In other words, mobile phones give more disadvantages. Here, I give more its negative values. In spite of those problems there is no question that advantages of mobile phone overcome disadvantages. Modern people depend on it, and now, everything is linked to mobile communication. In addition, with new generation of smart phones, people around the world have the advantage to be adequately informed anytime anywhere. Furthermore, mobile phones are the perfect instrument in distributing information and news. For example, the world was informed about Egypt demonstration from news posted on social network thru mobile phone.

There are people who argue that hand phone as much as they are handy, they are also causes some of social and medical concerns. Ironically, as much as mobile phones bridges gap in communication, it also alienates the people from themselves. For example, in a friends gathering; instead of talking during the meet-up, people take out their hand phones and start tinkering it hence impairing the individuals communication. There are also people who believe that cellular phones emit a certain radiation that can cause medical problems like cancer. There was a study conducted about the radiation emitted by hand phones and although the research is not conclusive, it suggest that hand phone usage might indeed contribute to certain illness. And there are some people who are more concerned of the disposal of mobile phone batteries. These people claim that throwing discarded batteries into normal trash pose a threat in terms of health and safety of the society and those cellular phone manufacturers should implement proper disposal of batteries. sychological terms, people become lazy to socialize with friends and surroundings (with facilities owned by a mobile phone, then in the era of the all sophisticated and modern things can be done by sitting in place without the need to move from my seat and left the person's activity. ranging from filling pulse, transfer money, book tickets, shopping, ordering food to be done without leaving the slightest spot). As the Manager of Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, I would like to submit a project proposal and will report how the use of excessive mobile phone affect consumer good social relationships affect health or in terms of the users themselves. What I expect all of my suggestions and submit this report will be used by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health for the use of alerting disadvantages of using a mobile phone will no controls and limits. As the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, we must play a role in alerting the user and people especially Malaysians to always take appropriate action to address the problems that will arise as a result of excessive use of this mobile phone. Among the actions that we must take is through education and the mass media are responsible alerting the user.

Advantage Mobile Phone Use In my view today, humans live in a world which is too willing. Indirect use of mobile phone has become an important matter to every human being. Communication is important. Someone who wants to convey a message or information to another person with communication course. "Communication suggests that a mind, a meaning, or a message shared equally. But contemporary definitions suggest that the communication refers to a way of sharing these things. "(Prof. Deddy Mulyana MA, Ph.. D. An Introduction to Communication Studies). We can feel how we have been spoiled by technological sophistication. With the findings support tool that we can use to communicate, always making progress. We need a long time even days if you want to convey a message to someone a short distance with us, because at the time of new communication technologies to the letters, telegrams, greeting cards, and others. Until then Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone equipment that can deliver the sound waves through the electrical current using a cable. This communication tool that at one point were once considered a luxury item, now affordable to all people of the world. In fact, parents are able to provide this communication tool to their children from the primary school to enable them to contact their children. Mobile phones can deliver orders quickly and efficiently and can store various information. Do not overdo it if your phone is more important than a computer and internet because mobile phones do not require electrical power. Its design is a cute and practical equipped with a camera, video recorder, SMS, GPRS, WAP, Wi-Fi and 3G facility, Blackberry and IPhone which has its own specialties. With the latest technology we can see the face of anyone who we contact. Now the Internet also can call to find out news reported abroad. Much is gained when we can use the Internet. More interestingly, the mobile phone will be able to store and communicate daily schedule. In short, the mobile phone can solve difficult problems for this to be made. In today's world you will be considered obsolete if they do not own a cell phone. Function is progressively increased mobile phone uses to make an internet connection. Already connected to the Internet can be made via phone or the phone can also function as a modem to connect to the computer. Read news and brief information on the internet can be started by using the phone. Information you need to know to quickly be taken or read on the internet where even be via phone without having to use a computer. An additional function

should be attached to the mobile technology that allows it to connect to the internet, namely connectivity. This latter function is becoming increasingly important connectivity with the various social media makes people connected to each other. In the business and commercial world, the average person making the reservation goods. Formerly ordering or supply of goods is done using the letter. This of course takes a bit of time and postage costs. With communication technology ordering or supply of goods can be done faster and cheaper. Letters can be sent via email to letters long or short message (SMS) to a letter purporting short message. One of the modern human activities is doing banking transactions. Movement of money so quickly in line with the increasing demand of human and financial transactions. More and more activity is expressly making banking transactions done at the bank to be a rather troublesome. Mobile banking services (mobile banking) already made so many banking transactions can be done using a phone. For those who are always in touch with the bank with various interests such as transfer money, receive money; check your balance or savings can activate mobile banking services in the cell. They were able to perform various banking transactions via cell phone. Of course this is a big advantage and effectiveness of the convenience of human life. As has been described above, we can share the phone function in three words, mobility, flexibility, and connectivity. Third is a dynamic function has changed people's lives and change the face of the world. Human vision has steadily grown to be getting better by the day. Has facilities are presented by the availability of this mobile technology. human social function that belongs to human nature to be able to know each other and share with each other very well drawn by the presence and growth of these mobile technologies. Modest, improvement of human quality in the presence of communication technology is present in the form of convenience, speed, and practice. It also makes the person be able to do more positive things in life, and do it effectively and efficiently. All this may be something very difficult to do in the past before the advent of mobile technology.

Use of Mobile Phone In Excess Affects Health

Although we are aware of the use of mobile phone is very important to people, but we also have to consider the downside effects of excessive mobile phone use without proper control. More pronounced effect on the use of mobile phone without this control is on the user's own body. Among the disadvantages of using a mobile phone effect without this control; Among the negative effects that would be obtained if the teens are so passionate when using a mobile phone is Malay damages. This is the case because these young people are fond of using the current word summarizes Messaging System (SMS) messaging space-saving reasons. Thus, adolescents who are accustomed to using the word abbreviation will also use the short word when teaching and learning (T & D) activities in schools especially in subjects that require them to write or compose. Teenagers are so excited to use this phone to get carried away using the abbreviated word when composing assay affected thus making the Malay language. Thus, the passion of cell phone use among young people clearly damaging the Malay language should not be used to best advantage. In addition, the negative effects will be obtained if the teens are so passionate when using product mobile phones is that they are less focused while studying at school and lost interest to revise lessons at home. This happens because they are so obsessed enjoy the sophistication of mobile phones to lose focus for learning. Thus, adolescents' academic performance will decline and their desire to continue learning will begin to erode. The facilities provided in the handset such as games, Messaging System (SMS) and others have made them use these facilities without limitations. Therefore, the use of mobile phones without clear controls eliminates youths to focus on their studies. Adverse health effects, however minimal may have major public health implications. Furthermore, the radio frequency is the abstract is not easily understood. The term 'radiation' is often inspire fear and worry. So much publicity in the mass media has caused great concern among the more. Radiation is a form of energy moving. Radiation electromagnetic in nature, that is, it consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together through space at the speed of light. We live in a radiation environment natural radiation and man-made radiation.

every second in our lives, we are exposed to all forms of radiation such as ultraviolet light (ultra violet rays)from the sun and radio waves from radio and television. On May 31, 2011, the World Health Organization has decided that the mobile phone as a 'carcinogen to humans "(Possible human carcinogen). Mobile phones have been listed in the Class 2B carcinogen list. Carcinogens are substances that can form cancer. European Commissioner (European Commission) in a proposal titled Health and Magnetic Field laboratory studies show that human cells exposed to 24-hour phone signal found to cause DNA breaks. To learn more about this study please sub-title The Reflect Project at HYPERLINK: http://ec.europa.eu/health/archive/ph_determinants/environment/emf/brochure_en.pdf....... Digital telephone users can expand the known nonHodgkin disease in their neck lymph glands, which are often placed on the phone for several hours a day. For a few minutes exposure to cell phone radiation can alter the 5% to 95% active cancer cancer Defaulted Exposures active at all times and in a short time afterwards. Tumor risk 'neuro-epithelial' extraordinary on the outside of the brain are more than doubled - show statistically significant improvement - for cell phone users than non-user's 1998, at least eight lawsuits that claimed cell phones cause brain tumors filed in the United States. UKRAINE: Based on animal study, the use of mobile phones can drastically reduce sexual desire. Rats exposed to cell phone radiation was found to have testosterone levels in the blood flow significantly less than mice not exposed to it. The higher the radiation dose, the less testosterone produced by the glands of the body, resulting in a decrease in sexual activity. Scandinavia: Scandinavian Studies sponsored by the cellular industry and the government of Sweden and Norway, confirmed the significant relationship between the duration and number of calls made by users with symptoms such as fatigue, heat and headache. Regular cell phone users also reported a tingling skin conditions or twitching. In conclusion, cellular phones still have a variety of negative impacts that need to be addressed by humans. We need to think only important use of the phone and do not overdo it so that adverse impacts that are able to be reduced. Man must realize that life is too dependent on technology is not able to make myself a better human being, especially of the physical aspect but we need to explore the ability of our mind as widely as possible.

Excessive Use of Mobile Phone Affects Social Relationships In the urban areas of Malaysia, it is common to see people holding mobile phones regardless of time and location. There is a high prevalence of mobile phones usage among Malaysians, particularly youths even with most primary school students owning these socially interactive technology gadgets. This study seeks to examine pervasiveness of mobile phones and dependency on the gadgets among male and female users, explore whether the high dependency on mobile phones contributes to any positive or negative effects on human relationships, and to propose solutions if there are any negative effects on aspects of human relationships due to high mobile phone usage in their daily lives. The researchers employed triangulation analysis, which combined both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The instruments of analysis for the research were surveys and personal interviews. Cell phones have dramatically altered the nature of social communication in the Malaysian and many other countries. Due to an increased ability to speak or text message people who are not present, it is common to see a group of friends hanging out together at a restaurant or bar and for none of the friends to be speaking to each other because they are fixated with text message conversations on their cell phones with other people who are not present. This demonstrates a prioritizing of the phone or text message conversation as more important than having a conversation with those who are present. For to communicate with other people through the formal and impersonal method of text messages and phone calls has inhibited their social skills, conversation skills and their ability to relate and communicate with each other in person. Because personal social interaction with humans who are present is vital to the human condition, the lack of social interaction caused by excessive cell phone use is a damaging sociological effect of cell phones. The finding from The Mobile Life Report reveals how the usage of mobile phones has changed the daily lives of society. Findings yielded from the study show how women use mobile phones to deter the unwanted advances of men and the significance of mobile phones in overtaking television viewing among young adults. Alternatively, the study conducted by Chen and Lever (2006) reveal that men (89.%) are more likely to be alone than women (87.5%) when they use their mobile gadgets. They argue that gender patterns of absent presence exist following the technology function, which is the mobile phone in their case, to remove individuals from their location within the community. It is predicted

that the pattern of absent presence would result in isolation and irritation for non-users (Chen and Lever, 2006).. However, some negative impacts of using mobile phones among adolescents are the loss of self-control with their mobile phone use and over-dependence on mobile phones as a safety and security device. Furthermore, the excessive time that adolescents spend on the mobile phones has resulted in common disagreement between adolescents and parents, and family time has suffered due to adolescents mobile phone use. This study which is also examining impact of mobile phone use in terms of family and peer relationships will explore further the Malaysian context. However, the focus of the study is on youth and adults rather than on adolescents.

Figure 1. Comparison of mobile phone daily usage between males and females In conclusion, Self-discipline by controlling themselves from being over-dependent mobile users is one of the ways to reduce the negative impact of the prevalence of mobile phone use. It would also be helpful if the current interactions, which are too focused on mobile communication, could be diverted into other types of communication such as face-to-face, group communication, video conferencing communication, etc. By doing so, it would allow people to experience and makes comparisons between different forms of communication and at the same time, sharpen their communication skills. Subsequently, individuals could choose whichever form of communication that offers more advantages to efforts towards establishing and maintaining good relationships with others.

Steps to Use Mobile Phone from Affect Consumer Health To protect our users should make them realize the dangers of mobile phone use are in excess of tips that can alert the user is: 1. Warning: Radiation increases when the signal is weak. The further a phone is from its base, the weaker the signal. When handling a weak signal, the phone increases power to a maximum producing more radiation. If you struggle to get a signal or tend to drop calls in a certain area (common in elevators, buses, cars, and other enclosed spaces) you could be irradiating you and those around you. 2. Caution using an earpiece or Bluetooth. Theres a big push, mainly by driving-safety advocates, to use earpieces with cell phones. Although these devices leave your handsfree, some may concentrate and channel radiation directly through the ear canal into your brain. When on a cell phone, use the speakerphone or a wired earpiece (hollow cord types are preferable). A Bluetooth wireless headset combined with the phone can exceed even the current inadequate safety limits. 3. Warning: wearing your phone like a beeper If your phone is turned on and worn on your belt or in a pocket you could be receiving a constant blast of radiation from the battery pack which usually faces your body. Another blast occurs when you get a call. Because electromagnetic field exposure diminishes rapidly beyond 3 feet those around you can also be impacted. Its okay to carry it on you if the device is in "flight" or "off-line" mode. If you must carry it while fully on, keep the keypad positioned toward your body, so that the battery pack faces outward. A better place for your cell or BlackBerry is in your purse or briefcase. Another safety tip: Switch which side of the head you use your phone on from call to call so you spread out exposure. 4. Minimize your talk time and try to eliminate any calls over 20 minutes. Scientists have no idea how long you can safely talk on a cell phone. And side effects such as headaches and dizziness have been observed after calls as short as two minutes.

5. Do not let your children use cell phones. Because their skulls are thinner and smaller, children absorb much greater amounts of radiation than mobile-phone-using adults do. Plus, theyre at greater risk of developing serious side effects because their cumulative lifetime exposure will be greater. Health Canada has developed guidelines for safe human exposure to RF energy. The current version of these exposure guidelines is specified in a document called: Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz - Safety Code 6 (2009).

Among the measures that should also be noted when using the mobile phone are: 1. Use a hands-free kit while drive. Shout and summarize the conversation. 2. Avoid using a telephone when hazardous road conditions. 3. To ensure that your phone is transmitting at low power levels and saves your battery life should be: Use your phone in a place with good signal strength Remembrance. stand near an open window and far away from away from obstructions such as walls or columns. 4. Thing of the use mobile phone accessories such as headphones, microphone and attachmentfree car kit to minimize the time you phone held to your ear. 5. Avoid using a mobile phone while you are walking or crossing the road. 6 In the event you really need to make a call, stop in a safe place. If you have a passenger, ask them to arrange a call to your mobile phone. 7. For maximum safety, it is best not to talk while you drive.

Conclusion This technology facilitates a variety of channeled information such as news, music and personal data. This information is useful to society because through the proper use of all this information will help ensure that people understand something or do something right. Clearly, the handset has a multipurpose essential in ensuring our communities are informed society. Phone signal radiation is said to be able to alter the DNA and the human immune system to cause health problems to the human hand. Doctors have also warned against the use of cellular phones is controlled especially for mothers who are pregnant. Indeed, cellular phones can affect human health. At the same time dependence on cellular phones cause people to no longer use his mind completely. Modern technology is capable of storing various types of data in quantities so large that humans are too dependent on him and then threw the need to use their brain. We only use the phone easy to make a simple calculation of the brain to calculate the amount of use. If this condition persists then diminishes the brain's ability eventually disappear further functions. Furthermore, the use of a cellular phone too often causes people to suffer extreme heating process. Radiation emitted by mobile phone use causes the body's cells are unable to carry out their functions effectively due to overheating and cause the symptoms of fatigue on human material. Imagine if we use the telephone for a long period of time in our lives? However, the importance of mobile phone use in our lives, but as consumers we should be aware of excessive use will affect the health of our bodies. In this respect I believe all that I have indicate the relevant recommendations and research from leading experts over the danger of excessive use of mobile phone without any limit control. Awareness should be given to the consumer good way through the current mainstream media, campaigns, education, exposure to the effects of excessive consumption, billboards and even illumination through the newspaper. In addition to early prevention of parents to control their children from excessive mobile phone use. Control the start of the home is very important. It is better to prevent than to treat it.

Although there are disadvantages of excessive mobile phone use, but as a human being we need mobile phone technology to our lives. Mobile phone has proven to be rapid progress in a society and nation. Therefore proposed to be made aware as consumers really convince consumers and make use of these facilities properly. Conclusion, cell phone use should be controlled, especially to teenagers. Parents should be rebuked and scolded their child's excessive use of technology. But at the same time the use of mobile phones also give sat in a new dimension to family relationships. Adolescents may be more intelligent in this crisis so that they continue to be respected by the community.
