Something to think about. We all have cell phones, most of us have numerous other devices where we can do almost anything people need to do. These are wireless devices, as are all of our remote controllers. Progress is great and wonderful. But at what cost? Is there a cost? Sure these devices help us in our daily living. They are not free. We need to buy them or maybe lease them, dollars out of our pockets. Then there is the fee or subscription to use them.
But what is the real cost? With all these wireless plans, what is it doing to our airwaves? Could there be a health problem with all these wireless devices?
Communication is essential in our economy as well as all other parts of our society. Do these wireless devices have any affect on the air? A lightning bolt during a thunderstorm affects the area around it. How does this affect the ozone layer of the atmosphere? Could there be an adverse affect with all these wireless transmissions? With the concern about our health, as the news media tells us, there hasn’t been anything said about the potential adverse affects of the increasing volume of wireless transmissions. Maybe this isn’t a problem, at least it isn’t known as yet. Because it hasn’t been mentioned doesn’t mean it may be there.
The phrase “no news is good news” doesn’t apply. No news means there isn’t any evidence to support the possibility. Many events occur that are not reported, most are insignificant and/or not interesting to most people. Some are or could be important, just not reported or talked about. Then we need to consider the spread of misinformation and out right falsehoods. In this we also need to think about what we are not being told. Information that is out there but for unknown reasons is being withheld by the so-called experts.
With all the devices being used by 98% of us, could there be a serious problem we are not even aware of? A problem that could be affecting our health, our attitude, the way we act or don’t act? Can we even exist without using our cell phones or other devices? Even Joe Average checks his pockets to be sure he has his cell phone when going out for errands or whatever activity.
I’m not making any accusations, just raising a question. Other people may have the same or similar questions about wireless communication. Something to think about. Any response will be welcomed.
