Ahh the age old debate…do mobile phones hurt your brain?  Do they cause the rumored brain tumors, the cancer, the premature death?  In short, does your brain LIKE your mobile phone, or does it secretly loathe it, and try to put an end to it with powerful brain waves.

The latest belief is there is a good change that long term use of mobile phones might actually slow your brain’s functioning.  Wow.  The strange thing is, the same study also showed that frequent mobile phone users also showed better focused attention.  Hmm, so where do you turn?  Which do you believe?

The bottom line is, we may never know what to Truly believe…the article I read at MobileCrunch summed it up pretty darn sweetly:  “…all these studies about the effects on the health of mobile phone users may be meaningless. Remember how a few months ago mobile devices were being blamed for the disappearance of honey bees? It turns out they caught a virus. It is too early to panic about the dangers, or brag about the benefits, of the effects of mobile phone use. That’s what a brain is to think. “

I guess this gives “Mobile Warrior” a whole new depth, now doesn’t it?  Not to be a little too sardonic, or, well, high school, but relating to the title of this post…Duh.

Why, I ask you, would Irish prisoners, or prisoners of ANY nation be allowed mobile phones at all anyway?!  Maybe I need to brush back up on my criminal justice law, but I am failing to see why prisoners would ever be allowed this technology.  Nevertheless, I digress…the point is, I just found out that Irish law has officially now banned mobile phone use after 3 prisoners were sentenced to unlawful use of a mobile phone while incarcerated.

According to the article:

“Prisoners lose certain civil rights while incarcerated, one of which is an expectation of privacy. Mobile phones make it difficult for prison officials to monitor an inmate’s outside communications. Phone privacy allows prisoners to conduct criminal activity while still behind bars. I don’t know if an extra month is enough time to deter this activity, but the basic idea is a good one.”

Wow, bummer, and to think of all those poor prisoners that won’t really reap the benefits of the new MoGo Headset.  Sigh…
