Reverse mobile number look up :Watch out!

by Robert Sinclair

This can be called the era of communication. Things like VOIP and Instant messengers are quickly taking over. I remember how it used to take up to 3 weeks, for a friend in a different country, to receive my written letters. Today's electronic mail is sent and received in mere seconds. We now have the ability to inquire about what our friend in China had for dinner and can get an answer before he eats supper.

Phone craze

In 1876 the first telephone was created . This new machine was owned exclusively by the elite. The primitive carbon transmitter allowed for a peerless speed of communication across great distances. During those days, many thought that it cannot get better than that. But then came the cell phones. Initially the mobile phones were so big that people preferred to have them built in their vehicles. Current cell phone is a whole different animal. The phones we're using today weight grams and are dirt cheap in comparison to their predecessors. The popularity and accessibility turned them into a "must have" item across all demographics. Things like reverse phone look ups and ring tones are the talk of the town. Some 3rd world countries are seriously considering providing their citizens exclusively with mobile networks instead of land ones. Mobile telephone towers are much cheaper in construction and maintenance which makes them an ideal alternative.

Society needs to adopt this new trend responsibly

It's undeniable that cellular phones facilitate communication, but they did spawn some debatable issues. For example previous reverse phone look ups, allowed you to get the individuals name and "static" address. In contrast, the reverse cell phone look up might provide you with the exact location of the individual (if he or she has GPS installed on the phone). I think it's a border line violation of privacy. But then again, if you are only inquiring about the location of your child it can be an indispensable service. Cell phone search is not the sole issue related to cell phones. Scientists are still debating if prolonged exposure to cell phone waves is linked to cases of brain tumours.

Answer

People's elected representatives have to get more involved in these important manners. Average people should not have to worry about their safety and health and only a closely regulated cellular market can provide this safety.
