Mobile phone addiction, also known as smartphone addiction, refers to excessive mobile phone use that interferes with daily life. Studies show the prevalence of mobile phone addiction varies globally, ranging from 2-39% depending on the country and population studied. Excessive mobile phone use can be caused by factors like instant gratification from social media and the release of dopamine. Signs include constantly checking the phone and feeling anxious without it. Left unchecked, mobile phone addiction can negatively impact physical health and mental well-being.

Impact of Cellphone Technology on Health
Introduction
The dynamics of communication has been influenced greatly by cell phone technology. Continuous advancements in technology have changed the usage patterns of the devices as well as how frequent it is used. The small computers make communication easy because a person can respond to someone else instantly. However, with all these benefits, the technology comes along with some negative impacts on the health of an individual or user of the device. Socially it affects interpersonal skills as well as health. This paper focuses on the impact of cell phone technology on health.
Cell phones depend on electromagnetic radiations to receive and transfer data. During data transmission, the device gives off harmful radiations, which affect human health. The radiations cannot be felt and when released, they penetrate the body affecting the DNA and structure of the human cell. (Borelli, 2013). Radiations are of different frequencies and wavelengths. Several diseases are induced by radiations such as infertility, hearing impairment, and brain tumors. Hearing impairment can result from loud disturbance. Tumors result when the tissues of the body grow abnormally. Cell phone radiations leads to the death of cells and during replacement by other cells tumors may develop. Some tend to be cancerous such as the malignant brain tumor while others are non-cancerous like the benign tumor.
Young children are at a greater risk than adults are because their skulls and neural systems are not fully developed. This increases the rate of absorption of the electromagnetic waves into their bodies. During the installation of the WLAN, a network is created through the use of a router and the connected devices communicate through the network. During data transmission, electromagnetic radiations are emitted and the presence of a child around may result in a major impact on the human physical structure of the child.
Cell phones not only carry important personal data but also germs that are harmful to the heath of a person. Most people who use cell phones tend to place them in different places where they may collect germs. A report from researches indicated that one in every six cell phones is contaminated with some sort of fecal matter. (Elsevier Health Sciences, 2011). This is probably because the owners of the phones do not wash their hands thoroughly with soaps after leaving the toilet. The bacteria found in some of the cell phones were the E. coli bacteria which is normally found in the fecal region. Ingestion of the bacteria leads to severe health problems such as diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. Dirty hands also has different kinds of bacteria which can contaminate the phone. Thus upon sharing the phone with another person, the bacteria may be transferred leading to health problems if the person fails to clean ...

CELLPHONE TECHNOLOGY: HEALTH, BEHAVIOR & RELATIONSHIPS 19
All over the world, technology has received great embracement and perceived as a move towards a more automated world. The common is a term that the world is just a village on one's palm. The claim has been affected by the rise of cell technology with mobile industries and companies growing each new day like bush fire. New applications and operating systems are joining the market aimed at reaching new markets and simplifying things for mobile phone users. Developers are working tirelessly to identify any flaws in the use of technology and return to provide a suitable solution. Network coverage in the different parts of the world has been boosted to enable everyone to enjoy the device they got to hit customer satisfaction. The mobile phones have impacted peoples' lives at greater depth. The effects of cell technology are very much evident all over and profoundly felt. Efforts have been made by researchers to examine in the broader stance the impact of mobile phones on people's lives. The results from those researchers indicated that cell phone users portrayed majorly positive implications of the cell phone technologies, but also some adverse effects linked to the constant use of the cell phones were raised. Every individual can see how cell phone technology has changed their way of life with the effects spreading to groups, companies, governments, and generally different life sectors. The impacts can thus be looked at from sector levels for relaxed discussion and analysis. Positive and negative effects of cell phone technology have been witnessed on behavior, social behavior, relationship, and health sectors.
In today’s life, cell phones have become a big part of our daily lives. Throughout this paper, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the use of cell phones and the effects it has on society and specifically health, how it affects humans’ behavior and the impact that it has on a relationship. Some of the key points for this discussion is the exposure of children to this technology and the effect that it has on them, privacy, decrease in social interaction, and environmental impact. We cannot deny the benefits that the cellphones/smartphones have brought to our lives. Also, the benefits came with a cost. Nowadays 44 percent of cellphone users admit sleeping next to their phone to ensure they do not miss any important message or phone call. The later habit is affecting sleeping patterns, quality of sleep and people’s productivity. Furthermore, people can stay connected 24 hours with work posing a distraction from family and personal activities

Abstract
Cell phones have become a norm in the society today. In fact, many people are likely to be surprised if they meet a person who does not own a cell phone. Therefore, there is a higher chance that more than one in two people possess a cell phone, and this number is increasing as the days go by. The influence that these cell phones have on society has become huge. For instance, they have made several advances through modern technology, which has made it possible for people to be connected with friends and family.
Keywords: cell phones influence.
Introduction
Today, cell phones have become a major part of society. In fact, almost everyone owns a cell phone, and the chances of finding someone making a phone call or texting away on the high-tech devices are very high. Contrary to the belief that cell phones have catastrophic effects on people, this view is actually misleading. In as much as many people think that there is a connection between cell phone usage and some type of cancers, this view remains to be a perception rather than a fact. In addition, society has continued to reap some positive aspects with the use of cell phones since these values far much outweigh the negative issues (Nakaya, 2015). Ultimately, many social disasters have been averted with the use of cell phones. Therefore, this paper aims to show that cell phones are not dangerous as perceived by many people.
Quite a number of people think that cell phones have some adverse effects on their lives, which may not be true. In fact, the statements by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Food and Drug Administration, as well as point to peer-reviewed studies have concluded that cell phone usage is not associated with the increase of brain tumors or the inception of other health-related problems. These agencies and studies contend that no increase in brain tumor rates has been witnessed despite the fact that millions of people the world over are in possession of cell phones. A study, which was conducted on 358,403 Danish Citizens on Oct. 20, 2011-the largest study that has ever been conducted to date -, concluded that there was no association between the long-term usage of phones (10 years+) and tumors of the brain or the central nervous system (cellphones.procon.org/)
Cell phones have also shaped the society in a positive way. People always want to be connected to their family, friends, and colleagues. These little hand-held devices make it possible. With a cell phone, people have a way of communicating constantly. Aside from remote areas that cell phone industry has not reached, people can, from any part of the country, stay in contact with those who are important to them. It is also possible to conduct any business meeting with a client while driving to meet another (Ling, 2014). In fact, communication ...
Negative impacts of technology on child's mental health.docxVigour360
In the age of technology, children have easy access to different gadgets such as iPad, laptops, iPhone, smartphones etc. Parents introduce screens to kids as learning medium, on the contrary misuse and overuse of technology adversely impact child’s mental health.
According to observational studies there is a correlation between screen media exposure and increase obesity risks and behavioural problems in children and teens.
Research suggests that children and adolescents often exhibit mindless eating behaviours while watching TV or engaging in video games, contributing to an increase in obesity rates within this age group. Additionally spending hours in front of screens decreases the physical or outdoor activities. There is wide gap between calories consumed and calories burned.
Takeaway,
Screen time recommendation from Indian Academy of Paediatrics for digital wellness in infants, children and adolescents.
For Children
• below 2 years of age, zero screen time
• 2 to 5 years of age, Limit screen time to a maximum of one hour (the lesser the better)
• 5 to 10 years of age, limit screen time to less than 2 hours per day
• 10 to 18 years of age, balance screen time with other activities essential for overall development

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

well-being. Physically, mobile addiction can lead to sedentary
lifestyles, as people spend long hours hunched over their phones,
resulting in poor posture and musculoskeletal problems.
16. Excessive screen time also disrupts sleep patterns, leading to sleep
deprivation and related health issues. Additionally, constant exposure to
the blue light emitted by mobile screens can negatively impact eye
