The cell phone's progress in killing us all

I thought radio waves bounce off everything. Not pass through things. Or is that only for certain materials?

Either way, I'm bathed in tons of wireless networks right now. If it's lethal then I should of hunched over awile ago.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I would rather die of cancer when I'm fifty than give up my lighting, artificially flavoured food, and cell phone.

Seriously, wouldn't you?

How ya doing, buddy?

a major problem is leaving a mobile phone in the front pocket close to your testicles. This part of the body is extremely sensitive to radiation. Radiation was used during ww II to sterilize people.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Radio waves are non-ionizing, meaning they can't alter even basic stable chemical compounds or ions in your body. X-Ray and Gamma are ionizing, and that is why: you wear the lead vest when taking dental x-rays, and people go "POOF" when the Enola Gay comes flying around. Cell phones come into comment about causing cancer because some research suggests that being in the constant presence of electrical power lines (and their oscillating magnetic fields) causes chemical disruptions in the brain that could cause cancer. Therefore, person on street thinks, cellphone + head + energy waves (non-specific) = CANCER. Run minions, run out of the light and throw away your cellphones....cuz the cancer is going to get you!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wireless is infrared, I believe. As a blackbody, you emit infrared too.

Most consumer mobile and wireless devices operate anywhere between roughly 700 Mhz and 30 GHz, which is square in the microwave band.

infrared starts at 300 GHz and goes to up to 400 THz (sub-visible).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's like staring really closely at a microwave then. Ah....

FELIPE NO

Except cell phones produce only a maximum of 1 to 2 watts of output, while microwave ovens will produce well over 1000 Watts.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Or maybe most people talking 4 hours a day on their cellphones are sitting in their cars all day inhaling traffic fumes.

Not enough evidence their to stop me from carrying my cell.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
