Discussions
    Use of Cellphones has contributed to increased health complications such as damage of ears; thus loss of memory. The research study conducted by the scientists revealed that use of Cellphones pose dangerous risk to health of human beings. This is because the Cellphones emit radiation that is linked to the brain tumors; thus contributing to loss of memory (Powell pr.5).  The Cellphones makers claim that the level of radiation from these devices falls within the acceptable limits and they cannot cause any harm to human beings. However, it has scientifically proven that the long-term use of Cellphones has offered the truth about the impacts of using Cellphones for long hours in a day making communications. Furthermore, research studies have shown that the likely cause of brain tumors, which occurs in most cases when multitasking (Ghorbani and Rosemarie 263). For instance, drivers who talk and text while driving are likely to get distracted than concentrating on the road; thus causing accidents, which may lead to loss of lives or health complications resulting from accidents.

    Cellphones are costly and this begins from purchasing the phones themselves and monthly services or subscriptions are costly. The pricing models for Cellphones are not different from landlines, but Cellphones services are typically more expensive than landlines. According to (Locsin pr.1), use of Cellphones are expensive and these ranges from text messaging, roaming and downloading materials. The service providers usually limit minutes for taking and making international calls is more expensive than local calls. Making calls in long distances per minute is costly and the monthly service rates are usually higher.

     However, despite the disadvantages that Cellphones have caused in the society, it has made communication easier because of their availability. The increase technology advancement has not only created social challenges in the contemporary society but also enabled many people to socialize with other effectively. Winget (34) argues that use of technology devices has made communication easier and inexpensive in the interactive world. It has enabled many people to create friends, reach their families or relatives across the globe easily, interact with customers; thus creating a global village. Powell (pr.1) argues that Cellphones allow people to keep in touch constantly with their friends and families because of their portability. People are now able to reach anyone at any given time and enable people to receive emergence calls or significant information through phone calls.

Conclusion
    In conclusion, although Cellphones have made communication easier, they have contributed to health issues and they are costly. First, use of Cellphones has contributed to increased health complications such as damage of ears; thus loss of memory. Secondly, Cellphones are costly especially when making international calls and monthly subscriptions are higher. However, despite the disadvantages that Cellphones have caused in the society, it has made communication easier because of their availability.
