Abstract
This paper examines cell phone technology with a particular emphasis upon its relationship to the processes of globalization. The paper argues that this technology is symbolic of both the promise and the problems of globalization. The paper looks at how cell phone technology is being innovated in not only the West but also in East and South Asia and shows how this technology continues to reflect its Western origins and is indicative of the expansion of Western paradigms of science, technology and production - at the expense of potential alternatives - on a global scale. The paper notes that while the technology of cell phones has effectively filled a clear need for a wireless audio communication device on a global scale, it is also widely accessible and comparatively inexpensive within the developing world. In conclusion, the paper shows that this technology is also emblematic of the contemporary nature of globalization in which high technology industries in the developing world serve as outsourcing sites serving the interests of globalized corporations headquartered in the West, and whose workers are valuable solely for the low labor costs and absence of benefits in many of these countries.

Introduction
The Essentials of Cell Phone Technology
Cell Phone Technology and the Global Market
The Extended Impacts of Cell Phone Technology
From the Paper
"Clearly, cell phone technology has - within less than a generation - transformed communication practices on a global scale. This transformation is due, in large measure, to the nature of the technology itself which allows for digital compression of communications streams which, by reducing the portion of a channel used by a call, saves network capacity and allows for a cell phone service to serve very large numbers of callers at the same time (Straubhaar and LaRose 2004). Moreover, with digital technology the cells are much smaller, with some being as small as a few hundred yards in diameter. With a given area covered by a large number of digital cell phone antennae, the need for a powerful transmitter on the phone itself is thereby reduced."

Abstract
This paper contends that the most culturally significant communications technology in recent decades has been the wireless two way voice telecommunications technology that is popularly known as the cell phone. The paper further argues that, while it is easy to dismiss this technology as simply a wireless extension of existing telephone networks, the almost universal adoption of the cell phone together with its expansion into the Internet and other communications networks, reveals not only the importance of this medium but also its future potential to transform human interaction.

Abstract
This paper examines how major concerns arise from the fact that we are increasingly exposed to logarithmically increasing, non-ionizing radiation from wireless systems, cell phones, satellite transmissions, electricity transmission, and other products. The paper aims to present a solid argument through a literature review that cell phones, in particular, may be a cause of cancer.
From the Paper
"Public health scientist George Carlo and Martin Schram (2000) discuss the connection between cell phones and brain cancer in their book, "Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age." The book asserts that cell phones were not adequately tested for safety before they were marketed for sale, even though numerous studies linked radio frequency radiation (which is emitted by cell phones) with brain tumors, lymphoma and leukemia. Modern research indicates cell phone users may have a greater risk of brain cancer, and that emissions from the phones can damage the blood brain barrier and cause micronuclei in cells, small areas of genetic damage that are a sign of cancer."

Abstract
This paper discusses why cell phones are so dangerous by looking at a variety of accidents and injuries caused by cell phones. The author argues for the necessity of national legislation banning hand held cell phones while driving. Includes an a persuasive discussion of the way that advanced technology and communication has affected society.
From the Paper
"Radios, pets, other people in your cars. What do these things have in common? They are all distractions to a person that is driving a car. However there is one other distraction that is worse than any of these combined. This distraction can make you 4 times as likely to crash. It can be just as harmful as drunk driving (Frankfield 1). What is this distraction? It is a simple device that millions upon millions of people in our country own and use daily. It is a device that can ironically save our lives in times of danger. It is a cellular phone. It is for this reason that legislation must be passed nationally banning the use of hand held cell phones while driving."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although some people feel that using a cell phone does not present a greater distraction than talking with a passenger, tuning the radio, applying make-up, eating, or performing other tasks common while driving, studies have proven that, while tasks such as these do cause accidents, cell phones are still more dangerous. The author points out that ninety percent of European countries have cell phone driving bans, each with a different type of restriction. For example, in the United Kingdom, a driver can use a cell phone, but in the event of an accident while using a cell phone, the driver may be fined. The paper concludes that hands-free kits provide a highly accessible and practical alternative to traditional cell phone use, so drivers no longer can be excused for talking on a cell phone; however, pulling over to use the phone is still the smartest idea.
From the Paper
"A number of recent studies prove the hazards of driving while on a cellular phone. The University of Utah concluded that drivers on cell phones are more likely to not remember seeing pedestrians, billboards, or other objects found on the roadside. A study led by the National Safety Council in 2001 indicated that cell phone users miss traffic signals twice as often as those not using phones while driving. Those that did not miss traffic signals often took longer to react. Progressive Insurance reported that forty-six percent of 837 drivers surveyed swerved into others lanes, twenty-three percent drove too close to the car in front of them, eighteen percent came very close to an accident, and ten percent ran a red light. Ford has shown that teenage drivers are four times more distracted than middle-aged adults using cell phones."

Abstract
Rapid advances in technology in recent decades have brought about a dramatic change in the way people work, transact business, and communicate. Yet, it is widely believed that there is still ample scope for technology to make life even more convenient and efficient. For instance, the cell phone is already showing the promise of functioning as an electronic wallet. This paper demonstrates that using the cell phone as an electronic wallet, will, in fact, add a great deal to convenience and safety, especially in the area of replacing plastic credit, debit, and smart cards.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Advances in Information Technology and Communication in recent decades have brought about a dramatic change in the way people live, work and play. Consider, for instance, the manner in which the Internet and the mobile phone have significantly changed the communication landscape or the way that ATMs and plastic cards have replaced bank tellers and the need for cash. In fact, it is now hard to imagine a world where one is unable to stay connected with family, friends, and business associates round the clock, irrespective of geographical location. Similarly, long queues to pay bills or withdraw cash are now pretty much inconceivable in a day and age when shopping, banking, and even tax returns can all be done online."

Abstract
This paper explains the need for guidelines regarding departmental cell phones. The writer presents an example from her company and discusses current problems resulting from having no cell phone policy in place. The ethical question of cell phone abuse that results from not having a clear and precise cell phone policy is examined. The paper explores the policies and procedures of another institution on cell phone use. The paper concludes with clear and precise guidelines for issuing and using departmental cell phones, as well as the consequences of over use.
From the Paper
"In the wake of several high profile lawsuits in which employers were sued for accidents caused by employees who were using cell phones while driving, the rising costs of cell phone bills, and the creation of new PDA and smart phones allowing access to the internet and data transfer; many employers are asking whether their company should create and add a cell phone policy to their handbooks. As a result, companies are faced with a dilemma between the convenience and functionality of issuing their employees cell phones and the misuse or overuse of the cell phones. What should a policy include? What are the responsibilities and guidelines for the employees and the employers?"

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a clear and concise argument against the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle. The author uses an extensive biography to present the case for regulation of cell phone use. This includes the discussion of legislation in Europe and other parts of the world that requires the use of a hands-free device if a person wants to talk on their cell phone while driving. There is extensive discussion of proposed legislation in several states, which is backed up by many different studies that illustrate the dangers involved with increased cell phone use by drivers of motor vehicles. The author makes the argument that the increase in cell phone use and the dangers that have presented themselves from this use, need to be matched by legislation designed to protect the public from the dangers of this wireless phenomenon.
From the Paper
"One of the most infamous studies was that of 699 collisions involving vehicles that had cell phones that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers concluded ?the risk of a collision when using a cell phone was four times higher than the risk when a cell phone was not being used.? (Moore p. 30-32, Redelmeier). It was also shown that dialing and answering a phone provide the same impairment as driving while intoxicated. (Moore p. 30-32, Redelmeier). The report found no distinction in safety between hand-held cell phone devices and hands-free devices. (Moore p. 30-32, Redelmeier)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the topic of cell phone use while driving. Specifically, the paper looks at the increased use of cell phones in the United States and the dangers of driving while talking on a cell phone. The writer believes that talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. The paper makes reference to studies which show that it is just as dangerous as drunk driving and talking on a cell phone while driving should be banned nationally.
From the Paper
"Driving while talking on a cell phone has become quite controversial as more Americans use cell phones every day. Using cell phones in public can be annoying and downright rude, but driving while talking on a cell phone can be deadly. One analyst noted, "Driving and talking on a cell phone is like drinking and driving. In both cases, the driver's reaction time is slowed, especially in the event of a roadway mishap requiring urgent response. In addition, a driver likely cannot give the same level of attention to driving as when not using a cell phone" (Egan). Driver inattention is one of the main causes of accidents on the road today."

Abstract
This paper introduces the topic of cell phone use while driving and, specifically, discusses the increased use of cell phones in the United States and the dangers of driving while talking on one. It shows how, although using cell phones in public can be annoying and downright rude, driving while talking on a cell phone can be deadly and how driver inattention is one of the main causes of accidents on the road today.
From the Paper
"The Utah psychologists had conducted earlier studies which showed that drivers missed traffic signals while they were talking on the phone, whether the phone was hands-free or not. They also discovered that other types of driver distraction were not nearly as dangerous as the use of cell phones. "The earlier study also found there was no impairment of drivers who either conversed with a passenger or who listened to the radio or to books on tape" (Blind). Drivers will always be distracted, but anything that can be done to keep drivers from becoming overly distracted is not only important, but also imperative."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The question as to the safety of cell phones is a much-researched subject and results invariably indicate a direct role for cell phones (used on the drive) in the accidents that occur. For example a general study performed by David Strayer, Frank Drews, Robert Albert and William Johnston ratified the notion that uncontrolled cell phone usage had a direct effect on the safety of the users. This conclusion has greater significance in view of the appraisal that cell phone users spend 60% of their talking time while on the drive. This only goes on to show that cell users grossly ignore the dangers involved or rather cell phones have direct influence on people and make them overlook the consequences. Cell phones seem to exercise such a controlling influence that users are virtually blinded of the consequences and often go around blissfully unaware of the dangers involved."
