Here are some Social Problems related to Cell phone misuse

Mobile Phone misuse in public places creates social problems like

1. In attention blindness

2. Caller Hegemony

3. Cognitive load

4. Accidents

Inattention blindness

•Cell phone use in social situations may result in overload - both physical and mental.

•Local interaction with the surroundings and remote interaction with the other person demands certain attention- E.g. When you talk in a bus stand or crossing the road.

•Cell phone use in public places makes the user blind to local cues due to cognitive overload. E.g. When you use cell phone while walking through the road, you may not see a vehicle coming close to you.

•Cell phone use in public places increases the reaction time to events around the user. E.g. You will not get time to move away from a danger.

•Reduced attention to local situation may disturb others since the user is not attending the social situation. E.g. Your conversation and body language may be annoying to others.

•Use of Mobile phones in gatherings, meetings, entertainment places etc disturb others through inattention blindness

Caller Hegemony

•Caller Hegemony is the asymmetric relationship between the caller and answerer.

•The alarming ring tone may demand higher attention to the phone rather than the local settings. If you use cell phones in busy areas, trains or buses, the sudden ring tone may alter your attention or the message from the caller may cause a disturbed feeling. This will leads to inattention blindness. This will not be the condition, if you use a land phone.

Cognitive load

Mobile phone use in public places makes the user overloaded and become unaware of the details of communicative behavior of co- located individuals as well as other relevant features of the social situation. It is advised that do not use cell phones while driving a vehicle or operating a machinery or crossing the road.

Accidents

•Mobile phone use while driving may cause accidents due to inattention blindness and cognitive load

•Cell phone conversation distracts the driver's attention, increase reaction time, and reduce visual field attention

•Cognitive load rises above visual sensation and diverts attention.

•Memory of visual inputs and Response will drastically reduce if the cognitive load increases when using cell phone along with driving.

•The same negative effects may also happen if the driver uses a hands free phone.

E.g. If the actual distance between two vehicles is 5 meters, due to cognitive load, the driver may feel that, it is 10 meters. This is the reason for the accidents, if cell phone is used while driving a vehicle.
