In a report, they say the Government is underplaying the potentially ‘enormous’ health risks – especially for children, whose smaller, thinner skulls are more susceptible to radiation. The study, experts say, raises fears that today’s young people may suffer an “epidemic” of the disease in later life. Besides, playing phone games in long time will cause eye fatigue, attention fell and loss of appetite, insomnia, and many other health problems.
In UK, At least nine out of 10 British 16-year-olds have their own handset and they will play the game on it, as do more than 40 per cent of primary schoolchildren.Children are spending significant time on mobile phones. We may be facing a public health crisis as a result of mobile phone use.”
Although the experts concede the links are not proven, they argue that ‘schools, phone shops and the health care system’ should be enlisted into a campaign to reduce mobile phone use. Their report states: ‘Both the Government and phone games companies could very easily do far more to alert the public, particularly children, to the emerging risks and safety measures.’ It accuses officials of ‘downplaying uncertainty’ over safety, adding: ‘This was the kind of wishful thinking that cost lives with tobacco and asbestos’.
However, scientists have found inconclusive evidence and a campaign would cause panic. Professor Denis Henshaw, emeritus professor of human radiation effects at Bristol University, He said: ‘Vast numbers of people are obsessed with playing phone games and they could be a time bomb of health problems. It would be a serious public health issue. It is really necessary that we should restrict the time on phone games.




Above is only a brief background of the game. But as a puzzle-platform game, what is puzzle?And what is portal? In this game you will have a gun which is not for killing. Using the gun you can open two holes at different place. You can go into one hole and get out from the other. That is why it is called portal. Besides the portal, another key to solve puzzle is gravity. For example in one test room, you should cross a deep ditch which is too wide to jump across. And there is a high wall behind you. So you can open a portal at the bottom of the ditch and open another one on the wall behind you with the gun. Then you can jump into the ditch and go through the portal. Due to gravity you will have a high speed. At this moment, you will fly out from the portal on the high wall like a cannonball. Easily you fly over the ditch. But it is just one of simplest puzzle in this game. Do you think it is a challenge for you intelligence? But you will get more interesting and a sense of satisfaction when you solve the puzzle by yourself.
