Ilena is not an intelligent or reasonable person. That aside, here we have
yet another gadget of the 21st century. It is coming under fire and the
thing that really gets me is that thousands, possibly millions of dollars by
the time this will all be over will be spent to look for rare diseases
"caused" or "linked" to cell phone usage. I remember when microwaves came
out that we were all going to die of some nasty cancer from "nuking" our
food. Now, of course, you can't build a new kitchen without a microwave as
a standard equipment. On my desk right now I have an Ipod, digital camera,
desktop, laptop with wireless, PDA with wireless, speakers, and a lamp and
under it I have a wireless modem and a printer. I don't glow at night.
We have to approach these topics with a little bit of common sense and we
need to take these "studies" with more than a grain of salt.
