    Telstra has released a warning about radiation exposure from cell phones.
    Telstra - Mobile phones and health - Consumer advice


    This vid popped up and it's really kinda scary
    Children should use laptops and tablets in "Airplane Mode" to reduce exposure to microwave radiation!!!!
    Men should not carry a cell phone in a pocket!!!!!
    Proof that women will get tumors/breast cancer by carrying a cell phone in their bra!!!!
    Honey bee workers wont come back to the hive if a cell phone is present.

    It all adds up until you're done working and then starts to show itself.

    I have a flip phone and hardly ever use it, I don't text, or check it, nobody calls me much. I go to use it and find the battery is dead. So I'll be OK, I hope.....:startled:

    My wife and daughters would be lost without theirs. Only reason I have a smart phone is to take picks to post on this here form.I do the reading on typing on our laptop.

    It wasn't too many decades ago that medical scientists that were examining a possible connection between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer were considered heretics too.

    Cell phones age have aged me terribly. When I got my first phone I was young and handsome (humor me :yes:) Now im old and grey. What I could do all night (humor me again;)) now I’d rather sleep all night!

    Going all night long now means not having to get up and pee at least once.

    yes! they're using that to read your mind.o_O

    ;)

    I don't think that's as bad. the article is talking about the devices being against your body that is the big problem.
