    Women are also inflicted with habits online. Microsoft studies have given us interesting findings: 16 percent would have a high tendency to shop, communicate, and employ digital devices; 86 percent share their "finds" to others in their time; If forced to, they would "throw out" their television or cell phone first; only 11 percent would throw out their personal laptop; email is overwhelmingly, 85 percent, the most important tool.

  • World Wide Web enables one to access volumes of information, earn graduate degrees on-line, submit mortgage applications, procure countless goods and services, and communicate instantaneously on a global basis. The increased use of technology in education is accompanied by concerns about technology's role in education.
  • One study by the Center for Applied Special Technology has shown that students with on-line access scored higher in the areas of information management, communication, and the presentation of ideas. According to one article the use of instructional technology offers great promise in helping "students become independent, critical thinkers, able to find information, organize and evaluate it, and then effectively express their new knowledge and ideas in compelling ways" (CAST, 2000).
  • In the CAST study the results revealed that students using on-line communication became more confident carrying out and presenting a research project over the course of the study.

  • The use of technology has also been beneficial for individuals with disabilities. I have personal knowledge of a young man with A.L.S. who slowly lost his ability to communicate verbally and used the computer as a communication tool. Later as the disease progressed he utilized additional technology which allowed him to use his eye movement as a type of input device.

  • Arjen Witzel Feb 18, 2010 7:07 AM GMT Effects ofexposure to emf radiation/ mobile phone/ wireless and related technology at my body are :Headache Fatigue Stress Sleep disturbances Skin symptoms like prickling, burning sensations, rashes, muscle pains and aches and more.But Doctors can't emplane any of this in Nederland.I lost my lob two times now.And can't start a new one because of my state of health.To keep alive at home i have rebuild my rand house in a cage of Faraday.Outside it 800/2200 uW/m2 from cell-towers and radiated devices from next door.Inside 0,4uW/m2 where i now can sleep properly.Before that impossible to get to sleep.Around me many people have the same problems, and the don't no what is the problem jet!Taking many medicine for nothing just like me in the past.I have nu future any-more. Adam Nov 6, 2009 6:38 PM GMT I have used a number of cell phones over the past 10 years. Its easy for me to say that my eye twitching, localized piercing head aches, tremors, etc are the result of this phone but it can not be proven. I do not have a home phone, I use my cell as my primary phone end never really thought that it may be the cause of head/brain issued until recently. My question... are the blue tooth devices really any better? do they not still pick up and transmit the same waves as the hand held device I have spent so much time holding next to my brain? i wish a few real studies not conducted or funded by the phone companies would surface... we need the help. Virginia Farver Sep 22, 2009 9:45 PM GMT I'm writing in behalf of my Son, Richard Blaine Farver,(Rich). Rich, died of glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer Oct.11,08 at the age of 29. Rich always had his cell phone on his head or in his pocket! Like millions of other kids he had used it for the last several years. His tumor was on the right side of his head, and he was right handed! Rich was also a graduate student at SDSU in San Diego,CA. In March of 09, articles were written about Rich and one other man that died in 2008 from glioblastoma, one died in the 90's from glio, and one is currently battling a malignant brain tumor. The articles are about a particular building and room on SDSU campus. 'Nasatir, room 131.' I found these articles in August 09. I KNOW, cell phone use caused my Son's cancer and the public needs to take this Very seriously! There is a cell tower next to this building, room, also! The, "It won't happen to me," attitude needs to be changed!! Everyone heed my WARNING! It can happen to any one! This has destroyed our lives! Please, I DO NOT want anyone else to endure this, or their families!Sincerely,Virginia Farver

    Phones send waves of radiation. About five billion wireless subscriptions world wide, which is given by WHO's estimate. Long-term exposure to the the electromagnetic fields (EMF), which cellphones communications create, has been given attention to by researchers. In May of this year, the WHO's International Agency for REsearch on Cancer found that the evidence was too inadequate to make any conclusions about risk. Many studies have been done, but no solid proof has been found. Another study was done on a case of glioma, a type of brain cancer, and acoustic neuroma,, a slow-growing non-cancerous tumour in the inner ear that results in hearing loss. Although the group found the evidence also lacking. however, the evidence was significant enough to warrant classifying radio frequency electromagnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans." WHO places this in a category known as 2B. Mind, coffee and pesticide DDT are also classified as "possibly carcinogenic to humans." Placing calls rather than emailing or texting has been proved that the risk is higher since the radio frequency energy is higher. Even though the evidence is limited, many countries advise children especially should limit their use of cellphones. The United Kingdom, German, Belgium, Israel, Russia, France, Canada, and India are all included. James McNamee, division chief for health effects and assessments in Health Canada's bureau of consumer and clinical radiation protection, said, "There has been relatively little science done on children and children's cellphone use, and children are going to be using these devices for a much larger period of their life span. Their brains and immune systems are still developing." Health Canada said cellphone users may take practical steps to reduce exposure, such as: Limit the length of cellphone calls. Replace cellphone calls with text messages or use "hands-free" devices. Encourage those under the age of 18 to limit the cellphone use.

    The University of Texas at Austin found in accordance with the WHO study in May 2011, released a tentative warning suggesting pragmatic measures to reduce exposure when using radiofrequency electromagnetic power-emitting devices near the body. "The evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion… that there could be some risk," wrote Dr. Jonathan Samet, chairman of the WHO's working group on the subject. "Therefore, we need to keep a close watch for a link between cellphones and cancer risk."
