Some electromagnetic fields will prove beneficial. I think I am receiving some of the good ones from the gal in the next booth.

Hello Emory, > Danger of electromagnetic fields and a British cell phone > safety alert. earthfiles.com This is where I believe that low-power Bluetooth is going to get it's biggest boost. It's not whether the theories are proven or not, they are going to make people are of a possibility. So you will instead use a very low power ear-piece which communicates via Bluetooth to your cell phone - or higher power transceiver - on your belt, in your pocket, or in your briefcase. Just an opinion ... but I believe that articles like this will promote the sales of Bluetooth ... Of course, then we'll hear about the damage caused by low-power Bluetooth ... and eventually we will learn that George Carlin was right back in the 1980's when he joked that "Doctors have discovered that saliva can cause cancer! But only when swallowed in small amounts over extended periods of time." ;-) I'm not saying that there are not serious issues to be looked at ... I am aware of the possibilities ... I use a wired earphone all the time, and seldom put my cell phone to my head. Scott C. Lemon

I have constantly written on this ridiculous topic. All around the globe, longevity is roughly proportionate to cellphone use. As long as the Scandinavians and Japanese--the world's heaviest users of cell phones for two decades--continue to live significantly longer than the rest of us there is absolutely no reason to pay any attention to obviously erroneous speculations. Exposed to sunlight, which also has a curious warming effect that should be investigated, the human race evolved in the face of immense electromagnetic radiance. With lightening bolts hitting the earth at a rate of 400 a second, the human race has always been bathed in fields of voltage from the earth. As the radon studies showed, electromagnetic radiation has a hormetic effect that combats cancer and other disorders. It keeps us alive to fulfill our manifest destiny to chatter on cellphones while eating linquini with clam sauce and contemplating the evolution of the AlGorithm since the great man invented it at Harvard in 1972. --GG
