Criteria A - Anar Karim

Criteria A

This portfolio addresses the issue of how mobile phones not only scare some people but also how they affect their brains if they frequently use it. Why would they think that the use of mobile phones would affect brains? The main concern is that scientists have actually researched and it is found that frequent mobile phone users demonstrated to have slowed brain function. To make it fair, and to be confident, they carried out a study with a larger group. 300 people were included in the study, 100 were frequent mobile phone users, while non-mobile phone users and then third group of 100 were an intermediate user group. Features of brain activity and neuropsychological functions were studied for example; memory, personality attention and results concluded that frequent users were less open-minded.

The IT system involved in this issue is mobile phones. Mobile phones are really convenient for everyday life and they are useful to make lives easier for everyone. The as time goes on and technology improves, the numbers of phone users increase everyday. It also helps people communicate faster and easier. The positive effect is that lives become easier for people as they can now connect with others easier through technology.

The future direction of people in society will be determined by choices made about this issue. Companies could work on the level of radiation given off by the mobile devices which affect the brain cells causing. Maybe another solution could be that they could research into other options of communicating people safely.
