Dangerous cell phones, dangerous ringtones

Nowadays, you can find any kind of ringtones you want in the World Wide Web. You can download them from the dedicated portals or p2p programs. You can also make one yourself using some of the programs available online. The problem is that such a cornucopia and availability of ringtones and cell phones can also lead to some problems. There are issues connected with privacy, for instance, when it comes to making pictures by the use of a cell phone. In the past, it was visible if one wanted to make a picture (he had a huge camera with him). But nowadays, the cameras are available in almost all new cell phones. It is possible to make a picture everywhere and it is really difficult to control it. This can lead to the leak of important information from the company, for instance. Similarly, there are some hazards when it comes to ringtones. Once upon a time, I saw a young man playing with his cell phone at the edge of the zebra crossing with the lights. The lights gave a specific sound when the light was green or red. The prank, the guy made was terrifying. He recorded the ‘you can walk’ sound on his mobile and installed it as a ringtone. An old woman approached the zebra crossing and she suddenly heard the ‘you can walk’ sound and started crossing the street. The light was red and one of the cars almost hit the lady. The ringtone could cause an accident and even kill that old lady. The point is that you really need to think twice before installing some ‘funny’ or ‘unique’ ringtone on your mobile. Remember! Ringtones can be dangerous if used improperly!
