Squelch Some Cell Phone Myths

Cell phones are dangerous to use.
All of the hype of the myths surrounding cell phones would not only have you believing this, but it would have you burying your cell phones in the back yard just to be on the safe side.
Before you get the shovel, consider these few facts.
Using a cell phone while pumping gas will not cause a spark that would blow up the gas tanks.
This is a myth.
Although static electricity can produce a sufficient enough spark to cause the gas to ignite, it just does not come from the cell phone.
Feel free to chat away while you fill up.
It's been said that driving while using a cell phone is just a dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.
There have many tests conducted that have proven this out.
Any one that has encountered a distracted cell phone driver knows it is true.
Most just don't think it actually refers to them.
Reaction times while on the cell phone decrease dramatically and needed attention is distracted from the road.
If you have to talk while you are in your car, take the time to pull off the road (you'll also ensure that you won't drop the call that way).
People have been killed in hospitals because of cell phone calls.
This is just not true.
When the technology first arrived in the mainstream, many hospitals and clinics responded with bans on the cell phones.
Slowly, those bans have begun to lift.
It may not effect the medical equipment when using cell phones in hospitals, but it may affect communications (if that hospital uses the same service calls could be crossed).
To be on the safe side, always follow the rules and regulations set up by each hospital.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
A quick scan of the internet and of myth busting sites reveals pages of cell phone myths and legends.
Before reacting, always do a little research.
Until you know for sure if it's real or just a myth, play it on the safe side.
