most people have heard that cell phone usage has been linked to tumors and heart palpitations. i didnt realize that it's more serious than we've been sheltered to believe in this country. after reading this magazine story, my likelihood of speaking on the phone has gone from about 10% to neverX1,000. the studies also suggest that wifi has the same effects on the human body and its seeming mutilation of cells as cell phones do. germany has already recommended their citizens avoid wifi for health reasons.
while much of the western world is cautioning their citizens on the dangers of cell phone radiation and starting to look for cell tower alternatives, many in the US have no idea, largely because faux legislation has been in place for some time now to protect the telecommunications industry (a la tobacco and energy/oil) and their enormous profits. in fact, the country is pushing on towards mass wifi without seriously reviewing independent studies on its effect on our bodies, even muffling them.
if i dont answer my phone, it's for both our sakes
this is a poor excuse trav. get an ear piece. answer your damn phone.
ReplyDeleteDude. I mean, could you imagine if this is even partially true? Talk about a way to wipe out the human species.
ReplyDeleteI have always wondered what the hard evidence on this was. And no one seems to be providing it. I do remember reading about how cell tower transmissions are fucking up insects and bee migration patterns in the southern hemisphere.
Weird stuff. Okay, I'm off to read the article on my new (max)iPad...that's the big one.
it took me a couple reads but i get it now.
ReplyDeletesee, earpiece or bulky brick phone from 1984, i don't talk on cell phones primarily because it makes you look like, and generally become, a gigantic asshole so full of insecurity that even the invention of post-its can't salvage your self-worth. And as for the cancer thing...maybe American Spirits will come up with a healthier version...no music, no games, no 'apps'...none of those additives that so tax sufferability.
