I read an interesting blog about mobile phones, they are great for sharing photos however they are great when it comes to sharing bacteria.

Mobile phones are a massive part of todays society you cant walk down the street without seeing someone on there phone or sat in a pub, café or lunch room. According to a physician interviewed by wall street journal, people are more likely to become sick from there mobile phones. Mobile phones are seen as the main way of communication especially when it comes to protests for example the London riots masses of people were using there phones to log on to twitter to find out information and updates. One in six UK mobile phones are contaminated with faecal bacteria this is due to poor personal hygiene. But this does not stop us from the addiction of using our smart phones to send pictures, texting, calling on using the internet.

The smart mobile phone seems to have a power over young people and they need to own a smart phone to fit in with the "cool kids" or popular group. Youngsters are suggested to have a social addiction where they find they need to be in constant contact with their peers. A young person without their smart phone can feel excluded like they are missing out and they suffer from the strains of modern life.

Ever since the smart phones became popular in the early noughties there has been on going concerns about the psychological damage from using mobiles but youngsters in general don't really think about the bacteria they are spreading and getting themselves sick especially when they are eating a meal.
After reading this blog on mobile's and bacteria I have started using alcohol gel to clean my hands a little more often and tried to use my mobile less.
