I'm kinda buying it, more for my kids than myself. Don't really care about my temple. I play a lot of video games, and those controllers are wireless... they constantly sit right on my party parts... I'm probably done for... but the kids will carry on my legacy!!! I am going to drop my cellphone for a land line at the end of this contract (oct). My wife refuses to drop hers. That's OK, less is better than 2 too many.

BUT, whenever I get on the subway nowadays some girl is texting and some guy is playing games and some ajumma is yelling at nobody and some ajoshi is letting his ring forever and harmonime looks bewildered by that sound and haraboji is letting his ring forever and a day and it seems like anything I do at home may be pointless... 3 years ago mine was the only wireless network in range (I've already turned it off)... now its like 20 unsecured to choose from in my complex alone.

I'm still gonna drop the cell phone, but my concern is: will it really make a difference?

I'd like some real voices rather that the media telling me what to do... Do YOU think its real?


Only link I have saved. sure there's more out nowadays:

For every study telling you something isn't safe, another one comes along a year later that says it is safe, after all (whatever it is). It's like the proposition 13 joke in California: it isn't possible to walk into a public building in California without seeing a warning that the building contains known cancer-causing substances. According to some study or other, just about everything causes cancer nowadays. I feel like if I live long enough, I will probably get cancer.

To answer your question, though: I'm not worried about wireless networks.

This doesn't happen with cell phones, but whenever my gf drives and uses navigation, I get a throbbing headache. Can't be good for the ol' grey matter.

I think it is a load of crap. If you are really worried, use Bluetooth or the speakerphone so you don't have to hold it up right against your head.

Tatertot is right, it seems like just about everything can "cause cancer" nowadays.

The cancer they cause isn't physical.
