All phones emit radiation
But smartphones actually emit quite more than the average phone
phone manufacturers are enforced to put their levels within ICASA (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) regulations
Prolonged use may actually trigger illnesses such as migraines, brain cancer and vertigo

Smartphones of today come pre-installed with communications software.
This has now more than ever, led to less face to face contact between friends and family.
Most smartphone users actually go for weeks without having any physical contact with loved ones and feel no remorse for it.
Some users use the real-time “chat” capabilities as a form dating, where usually -but not always- they should never meet
