Now I have heard that there were concerns about mobile phones being hazardous to ones health. But I have never heard that they might be beneficial though. As it turns out, it is just as well. Looks like that there is no proven benefits whatsoever for kids using these devices.

The claims were made by David Butler, head of the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations.

He told a meeting at the Lib Dem conference in Bournemouth, hosted by the mobile phone company O2, heat from handsets could boost children’s brains.

Phone experts said while handsets did have a tiny heating effect, it was unlikely to be of any benefit.
