      Hi @samantha234

      There is not much evidence for this really, although there is some evidence (although very weak) that mobile phones may.

      Hi @samantha234

      While I was eating my lunch just now I was looking at the Metro newspaper, and there was a big headline ‘mobile phones may actually cause cancer’, but there is still no evidence that suggests that this is definitely true.

      I don’t think that computers can cause brain tumours. I hope not anyway. If mobile phones and computers do cause us damage, we are all in a lot of trouble, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use either a mobile or a computer on a regular basis. Do you?
