My luck’s a disease (to quote one of my colleagues) so I can assure you if wavy lines Radiation was an issue I’d have it in spades.
They only odd quirk we’ve observed (in an admittedly small test group) is that anybody that has spawned whilst on the tools has had girls
back in a previous career I was an electron microscopist (using high voltage transmission EMs, for which you basically sat straddling all the sensors at bottom of the unit) and the lore was that we only ever had daughters.
When mobile phones started to take off in the UK there were lots of scare stories about brain tumours. Don't seem to have heard of any explosion in actual cases 20 years later?
I’m typing this on a mobile whilst using the WiFi. Will I die?
I suggest you switch it off before posting.
Well, I laughed.
I would think after 20 years plus of increasing EMF's
Unbelievable
Please tell me that was intentional.
It's all nonsense. I had a very similar argument with a slightly post-natal crazy wife a couple of years ago. She's softened a lot but I'm still not allowed an Alexa 😆 You can read about it here: http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/help-my-wife-thinks-wifi-is-harming-our-baby/page/4
When I looked, there were 26,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers looking at the harms of radio-frequency radiation. None have [i]ever[/i] demonstrated a causal link. As people have said, mobile phones have been around long enough that we can be reasonably confident that we're not going to see an explosion of brain cancers due to phone use.
However, there are a few quirks around the world which people can latch onto and use as 'evidence' for EMF causing harm. In Italy, a court found that a phone company was plausibly responsible for a man's (benign) brain tumour [url= https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/21/italian-court-rules-mobile-phone-use-caused-brain-tumour ](link)[/url], and France have a policy that wifi is banned in nursery schools, citing unknown harms. It's a better-to-be-safe-than-sorry approach which is kind of understandable, except of course they haven't banned known carcinogens like processed meat and, well, sunlight.
That said, one of the bizarre behaviours in modern life is the face-down stare at phone screen instead of interacting with the real world. So maybe curbs on wifi/device use are worthwhile - for society's humanitarian benefit rather than cancer risk though.

This might help with that:

Normally nobody notices my quip genius.... 😀

the things, you say..
Did there not used to be warnings about mobile phone use leading to issues and phone signals were reduced in power as a result?
