this is a topic that has been buggine me for ages now.
Why do children of the age of like 10 need mobile phones??
I have had a mobile for about a year and usede it when i was at school.
However, what does a child of 9 need a phone for?
Really you don't need a phone till your 14 or so and have more school work and may be late.
I know i would never need a phone at the age of 9.
There is evidence that mobile phones can produce radiation that can be damaging to you brain. The origional phone i had gave me a headache when i used it.
Young kids won't be buying their phones. Their parents will. The kids then spend loads of time talking on their mobiles racking up huge bills for the parents to pay.
as a child you should spend time with freinds, rather than phoning them and texting them.
Personally i get really annoyed when i see young kids with phones. Its even worse when they have a better phone than you.
No phones until the age of 14 or so.
It really is pointless giveing kids phones. It shows they are spoilt.
At the age of 9 i would have never been given a phone as a present.
Ah well
Does anyone feel the same about this?

Again, we have an in built "protection system", from microwaves we don't as there are no natural sources of microwaves on this planet.

Ah, but this time I'm siding with Edwin ;)
Needs change with society. A hundred years ago you wouldn't have needed a phone of any sort, doesn't mean you don't now.
Okay, so they're not essential. Very few things in life are. They are however, very useful. Even for kids.
Right, better stop here. 'Need' isn't a very precise word to argue over...

Lol, I can see this turning into another "Humans vs Robots" thread with me and Edwin carrying this on for ages...
Anyway. The fact of the matter is that kids don't *need* phones. The argument about "They can use them in an emergency is bollards. 10 years ago, when I was out and about without a mobile phone, I didn't die. I didn't get attacked and think "Damn, I wish I had some sort of portable communications device on me...".
Also, the radiation thing is not "buzzcocks."
Microwaves cook things, hence you probably have a microwave oven in your house. If you put a source of microwaves next to your ear, it WILL start cooking you, no matter how slowly.
If a child of 10 is using a phone for 50+ years of their life, they WILL get cancer. End of story.
As for the "Name one kid who died of mobile phone radiation" argument, that's what they were saying about smoking and lung cancer 50 years ago....

Dont eat butter, you will have a heart problem.
Dont have sex you will catch VD
Dont watch telly you will damage your eyes
dont drink beer, you will kill your liver.
All true, yet we dont give a rats behind. Why do you care so much about phones?
Anyway, i dont intend to die healthy at 150 with a male nurse wipeing MY bum for me thank you VERY much. Enjoy yourself while you can.
People just have these wierd thing were the sound of other people talking annoys them. dont ask me why. Just because someone has a better phone than you or talks on it alot doesnt mean you can take them away.

They also don't *need* hi-fi's, games consoles, or TV's in their rooms, but that isn't a good reason for them not to have them.

True.
But what you need to think of is:
Do kids *need* phones.
The answer, in my opinion, is no.

What happened before mobile phones then? More kids were attacked? Of course they weren't. It's all perception.
Kids should NEVER have mobile phones.
Think about it, how long does it take to cook a jacket potato in a microwave? About 6-8 minutes?
You putting a source of the same waves right next to your head each time you use a mobile phone.
That's not right for kids whose brains are still growing. Ok, so a mobile phone is a lot less powerful than a microwave, but it doesn't matter.
Even if it's not *that* dangerous, that fact is it CAN'T be good for you, end of story.
I would never give a child of mine a mobile until they were 18. There would be no need for them to have it.
I have a mobile, I'm 20, and I hardly use it if I'm completely honest with you. All the calls I make are short because I don't want to risk damaging my head.
