Watch this YouTube
video and think about it. The Swiss government is warning
its citizens about cordless phones and other wireless
devices - why isn't every government doing the same? Obvious answers:
1. Because there's really nothing
to worry about, folks. This level of radiation is perfectly
safe. Anyone who thinks different is either ignorant,
hypochondriac, a conspiracy-theorist nutcase,
or all of those.
2. Because there might be
plenty to worry about but the industries producing all
of this technology are far too profitable and
far too advanced to stop their progress or to go
back to drawing boards and re-think the whole thing.
And they are certainly not keen to publicise any data
which points to the dangers.
3. Because hey, life is brutish
and short! So why not enjoy our dangerous and
delightful gadgets while we can? And if we, or our children,
or grandchildren, die from cancers caused by constant
and close contact with such gadgets.....oh, too bad!
That's life! Deal with it!
We've all seen young children
(and of course adults too)
with mobile phones pressed against their heads, having
hours-long conversations. And pregnant women resting
their laptops (or iPads) on conveniently swollen bellies
as they surf the net. And men with laptop between their
legs as they sit on a train working or playing computer
games. All perfectly
safe? I don't think so. And yes, I do care.
I'm getting rid of my one cordless
phone. I've never liked it anyway, sometimes it sort
of buzzes against my head. And I don't have an
iPad or a SmartPhone. And I've never rested my laptop
on my lap. Anyway I mainly use a desktop and have no
WiFi devices. Whew!
