Cell Phones Are Serial Killers
Are you one of those people who look at your phone right after waking up in the morning? It’s no surprise since mobile phones are taking over the world. Well, you’re not the only one. A study shows that approximately 71% of people check their phones within 10 minutes of waking up. The high number shows how important cell phones are to our lives.
Cell phones give us the convenience of doing many things in life, especially receiving and sharing information and also communicating with people. However, without you realizing it, cell phones have “killed” several things we used to live with before.

Other Victims
There are also the forgotten victims of cell phones. Such as us, bees, birds, and sperms. Let’s take a look at how cell phones impact those victims.
Bees
A cell phone placed near a beehive can make bees suffer. It stops worker bees from returning home due to electromagnetic radiation.
Birds
Not only bees, but birds also suffer from Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) emitted by cell phone masts. The effect on birds is similar to microwaving eggs.
Sperm
Cell phones can also affect human conditions, especially for males. EMR from cell phones negatively affects semen quality and involves a man’s ability to conceive with a partner.
Conclusion
Cell phones have affected many aspects of our lives.
On the one hand, cell phones have done terrible things, not only for humans but also for animals. However, it’s undeniable that cell phones have helped us in many ways. We saved hours and thousands of dollars by not buying certain household goods.
