Day 20 Blog

Some interesting Cell phone facts for your information, please read and comment.
Did you know that two cell phones operating on either side of an egg will cook the egg and the same thing is happening to your brain and eyes when it's up next to your head?
Did you know you can dial 911 on a Cell phone for emergency service even if the phone is locked or not in service?
Did you know that for around $100 (sometimes less, sometimes up to $440), anyone can buy a list of everyone you've called from your cell phone for the last month? Sometimes they can also get your incoming calls and call locations, too.
Did you know cell phones are actually a radio -- an extremely sophisticated radio, but a radio nonetheless?
Did you know that up to 60% of the radiation emitted by a typical cell phone, (enough to cause heating), will be absorbed by the user’s head?
Did you know that different brands and models of phones have widely different levels of radiation emissions?

No I didnot know some of these, I think some of them are fake.

No, but usaually cell phones arent up by peoples head. No, that is cool. Thats pretty creepy but there is some thing that you can put on it that makes it so people cant track you down by your cell phone. No, but they can have music put on them.

I don't use a cell phone but i didn't know it had radiative effects to the brain so i guess it is bad for the brain to absorb that amount of radiation and that people can get a list of al you have called in the last while for only 100 to 400 dollars that is like stealing a persons life almost.

braxton said...

i never knew about the radiation emissions i did know that it could fry your brain or cook an egg very easily and that its a radio. but a free phone call to 911 would be useful because if ur out of service and someone gets hurt you may need 911 to come and help and the fact that they can track your location by paying a fee is really scary because people will know where you are at any time.

Danielle said...

Those were some very interesting facts about cell phones i didn't know.. and they were very surprising aswell, lol, now im going to put an egg between me and my sisters to see if it actually works.... haha

josh said...

I think some of the stuff stated is false but i know that 911 works, you can get lists of all your calls. Im not sure how much radiation comes out, i'm guessing little or none because there would be warnings and you would not be able to use them because of how dangerous they are. I also kind of want to test the thing with the egg and two phones to see if it will really cook.

I think that there is some pros and cons to cellphones but can a cellphone really cook and egg, if it can it would have to be a long time before it can do anything. A cellphone is handy to make quick arrangements or anythingelse but it can be addicting to some people, but come on, were teens and we just like to talk to friends there's nothing really bad about that, but yah, sometimes we can just wait for a day, but some people can't.

Paul said...

I thought that the whole article was something new that I learned especially the egg being fried between two cell phones. I didn't know that you could call emergency even if your phone is not in service. I think that they should restrict that you could walk in and buy someones phone calls for the past month. I nver thought that you give off radiation with your cellphone.

devin said...

I did not know that two phones could cook an egg side by side. I don't get how it could do it to your eyes when the phone is far away from the phone... I did know that you can call 911 no matter what on your cell. Thats dumb how anyone can walk in and buy your phone information. i didnt know they are like a radio. i didnt know that 60% of radiation will be put into the persons brain, but is that even if its in your pocket? I know that different makes and models have different radiation levels.

Bryce said...

Did not no that. That is intense.
Yes acctually i did no that.
that is stupid. that is private info. people should not be able to do that.
No i did not know that my phone was a radio.
nope. did not no that.
yes i thought that.

shenille said...

I don't believe very many of those facts. Most is physically impossible or just too unusual. This is the type of info you would hear from someone on the phone, or internet who has no idea what they're talking about. If you looked up cell phones on wikipedia or some site like that you wouldn't find any of this info. The only one i think could be true is you can call 911 even if there's no service.

breanna said...

I did'nt know most of those things.I think they ar'nt true because if you put two cell phones beside an egg it won't cook. I don't think they are really that true cause this info would be somthing someone would tell you and you would hear. I dont think that these are a fact that is true.

shelby h said...

No i didnt know that two cell phones could cook and egg. Im going to try it and im pretty sure it cant cook your head. And yes i did know that you can dial 911 no matter what because I just know that somehow, I think i tried it one time but never pressed talk. No I didn't know that people could buy a list of your outgoing and incoming calls. Thats crazy. I could see where cell phones are kind of like radios. Im pretty sure lots of radiation is emitted into someones head but it cant do that much damage I dont think.

Joel said...

I had suspicions that you could maybe call 9-11 on the cell phone even if it isn't operated or locked but i didnt know that you could cook your brain with it.

Rebecca said...

This information is pretty crazy about the cell phones. The one I found most interesting is the one about the two cell phones can cook an egg.

Cole said...

I dont really believe the egg thing but everything else kinda makes sense. some phones actually are not sold anymore because of the radiation.

ShelbyD said...

I don't believe some of the facts because you are never going to have 2 cell phones operating near your ear. Some facts are not realistic and some are, I believe some facts though.

Kali said...

that makes me never want to talk on my cell phone ever again....horay for texting!

Raelene said...

I think that some of those are true. Tings like that can happen. I think that also some of those are not true. I think that some of this things are pretty crazy. How can some of those happen.

LOGAN said...

I dont really believe the whole thing about the egg but i want to try it. I knew you could call 911 without having your phone activated. Thats pretty cool you could see who you all called in the last month but i dont think it should be that expensive

taylor said...

I found this info interesting about cell phones and there is bad things about phones and good things but what i really didn't know was that it was a radio.

Kayla said...

Wow.. I didn't know this. Although I did know that different models and brands have widely different levels of radiation. I read it in a magazine but the other stuff is kinda cool.

Dustin C. said...

I think that those are cool facts. and that i am glad my brin isn't an egg

tyler said...

O wow, if some of these bad facts that are there are ture, then cell phones can be a really big threat to the health of people today. i honestly never knew about that egg fact and it was pretty surprising to hear.

Jordan said...

No I never knew that you could cook an egg with two cellphones. But I think that this is all true because people spend more $100 on cellphone or bills. I also did not know that you could dial 911 anywhere even if theres no service.

Reagan said...

I believe that all these things are true. I never thought about two cell phones cooking an egg. Cell phones have a lot of bad things about them today in the world.

Kristel B. said...

Yikes I would say that, that is rather frightening. Personally I don't belive it though. Everything nowadays seems like it is bad for you in some way, shape, or form. Like plastic and eggs. One moment it is perfectly fine and the next it causes cancer. So I think that everything has some kind of poison and it is unadvoidable, so take the consequences as they come. You can't hid from it.
I do not like how easy it is to track a persons calls and texts. Isn't this supposed to be just with us and the other person/phone company. Where are they getting this?

Payton D said...

I do believe that diffenent cell phones have different radiation. But i do not believe that two cell phone with the egg I DO NOT BELIEVE

brittney said...

I don't believe that cell phones can cook an egg, it just seems impossible. I didn't know you could call 911 whe not in service that's a very good safety thing. That's not very good that someone can buy all of you cell information.

zach said...

it would proboly take a really long time to cook the egg.
yeah thats because it could save a life.
they shouldnt be aloud to get your personal information.
