or missing out on some fun

While most people think that mobile phones could cause cancer, this isn’t the only health hazard that has been reported. We all are probably so addicted to our phones that we are unknowingly destroying our health. Here are some health risks of mobile phones you should be aware of:
Health hazards of mobile phones #1. Cancer
As reported by the World Health Organisation (WHO), mobile phones emit radiofrequency (RF) fields a 1000 times greater than what is emitted from base stations. It’s obvious that this increased emission is likely to have some adverse effect on health of users. Although there is no clear evidence suggesting that exposure to RF fields increases the risk of cancer, but the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified RF as a possible carcinogen in humans.

Stop doing that. Cell phone harassment.
I was checking Facebook every day, to see if anyone in my family, or a handful of friends had anything interesting, entertaining or newsworthy to say. A couple times a week I’d post something. It was a good way to share pictures and videos.
Then on November 9, I posted that it was my 10th anniversary of being lung cancer free. I was slammed with so many responses, I couldn’t keep up. When it got to 99 messages, the counter stopped. It still says I have 99 messages, though I’m convinced it’s much higher. I haven’t opened Facebook since about an hour after I posted that.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to be popular on social media. The response I got from that one post destroyed Facebook for me. I’d like to see the latest family photos, but not bad enough to wade through all the other stuff.
I don’t think there’s an app for populating the planet.
A cell handset emits a max power of .6 watts. That’s the equivalent of 2 child’s walkie-talkies.
I don’t know what “base station” the article is referring to. The old bag phones had a max power of 3 watts.
I guess the issue may be hour after hour after hour of having the transmitter pressed against your head, rather than the amount of power itself.
You must have good eyes. I use my iPad for everything at home, phone for on the go mostly.
I wear glasses. When I need to read something with small print, like a nutrition label, I take a picture with my phone, and zoom in on it.
Good one. I’ll have to remember that.
I hope the response were at least salutary! :)
And congrads on that milestone!
My wife is 3 years cancer free from a malignant intestinal tumor which was excised. So far so good :)
