Hi. I am curious about this. I presume most people in this day and age use mobile phones. I presume most people keep these phones on their person. Where on their person do most people keep them? I don't keep mine physically on me, I usually keep mine in a handbag.

Please help. Thank you.

You never heard of pockets? Most people have pockets (in their pants; hoodie sweatshirts; jackets; etc...)

@JGoldman10,

I keep mine in my front pocket, right next to my testicles.

Thankfully, cell phone emissions are nonionizing.

@tsarstepan,

What about testicle emissions?

(At this point in life I care far more about the functioning of my cell phone).

I know a majority of people in this day and age use mobile phones of some kind, especially since most public payphones have been recalled, and I presume a large number of people use smartphones. I would assume they keep their phones in some kind of case when not in use, and they put their phones somewhere on their person, NOT in any pants pockets.

If not on their person, then they probably keep them in a purse, or some kind of handbag like I do, or some kind of carrying case, like a fanny pack or briefcase or something along these lines.

Here's a list of places you SHOULD NOT keep a mobile phone in:

According to the FDA, who are much more reputable that brightside.me:

Quote:

Some people are concerned that radio frequency energy from cell phones will cause cancer or other serious health hazards. Based on the evaluation of the currently available information, the FDA believes that the weight of scientific evidence has not linked exposure to radio frequency energy from cell phone use with any health problems at or below the radio frequency exposure limits set by the FCC.

FFS?!
Of course, you're posting this dumpster fire of a clickbait site. And take its nonaccredited pseudoscience as fact.

Seriously?!
MEDIA BIAS FACT CHECK:

Overall, we rate BrightSide a mild pseudoscience and factually Mixed website based on the promotion of questionable scientific information and unproven claims.

Those idiots running that social media empire are some scary fracking militant Russian nationalists.

"Bright Side straight-up lies!"

@tsarstepan,

Which is why I linked to a government website, to counter JG's use of a clickbait site.

I really don't like people using random blogs and clickbait websites as a way to spread misinformation.

How do you know if a site is clickbait or not?

Because Rebelofnj's not digitally naive/illiterate. He has a critical mind and knows when to be skeptical and wary of online garbage sources like the parent corp., TheSoul Publishing. That it has Russian founders; that it's headquartered in Cyprus; that there are many red flags that scream these companies can never be trusted.

"Clickbait" literally is the business model of Brightside. It has been critiqued by reviewers of media. In my pretty extensive research in my previous post, the parent corporation has a reputation for being sketchy and even has some downright unethical scruples with their output online.
