Inventions were everywhere.
One of them, X-ray, was used as attraction at fairs.
People had no qualms about putting their hands into machine to see how their hands look. Hey, it's novelty, it's breaktrough technology, it can not be wrong.
In 1903 Marie Currie got a Nobel prize for radiation research. At that time, NOTHING has been known about biological effects of the radiation. She died of aplastic anemia.
Today, nobody would touch radioactive material with bare hands, nor would stick his hand into X-ray machine just out of curiosity.
Even twenty years ago, low level radiation from CRT monitors was considered to be almost superstition. Now, it is measurable fact.
Brick mobile phones, analog cell phones, and your latest IPHONE are not the same technology, nor they have the same microwave output. The newest technology is the worst offender.
There is something else. Microwave is not coming from microwaves alone.
Average condo dweller is exposed to more than 20 wireless routers, cordless phones, microwaves, security cameras and so on, his or neighbor's.
Increasingly kids at school are exposed to microwaves as if they work on a Radar facility.
I am positive that 30 years down the road people will look at us the same way we look at the people who put their perfectly good hands into X-ray machines.
Your concept was thought of a while back. It’s called Nerve Attenuation Syndrome, or the “black shakes,” caused by overexposure to all of the electromagnetic radiation around us. It was the central plot mover of the 1995 film Johnny Mnemonic starring Keanu Reeves (based on the 1981 short story by William Gibson, but the NAS concept was only in the movie).
Radiation and electromagnetic waves and fields are not the same thing. Not even close. That somebody died from drinking cyanide from a Dixie cup says nothing about drinking water from one.
Brick mobile phones, analog cell phones, and your latest IPHONE are not the same technology, nor they have the same microwave output. The newest technology is the worst offender.
And your evidence is?
Average condo dweller is exposed to more than 20 wireless routers, cordless phones, microwaves, security cameras and so on, his or neighbor's.
Not to mention all sorts of waves and magnetic fields from electrical lines that have engulfed and surrounded every room in our houses for the last 100 or so years. Then there's magnetism and radiation from the earth itself and from all sorts of dastardly things beamed at us from the sun and from space. And don't forget those electrical signals the brain is sending through nerves. If I was a cell in the body I sure wouldn't want to be near all the radiation emitted from the spine. Electrical signals are the one and only internal signaling method in animal life. Does it really make sense that they are somehow harmful?
I am positive that 30 years down the road people will look at us the same way we look at the people who put their perfectly good hands into X-ray machines.
I am positive that in thirty you will have completely forgotten about the prediction you made; just like the guys that made the exact same predictions 30 and 60 years ago did.
Regarding field theory, the cell phone is placed adjacent to the temple, and the field intensity varies with the cube root of the distance from the emitter. If there is an operational risk to cellular phones, problems adjacent to that part of the body would be the most prone to the exposure.
Since some medical evidence takes decades to assimilate, it isn’t implausible for such a risk to exist.
