Cell Phone Emissions

Make sure to get off the computer too. The monitor emits radiation and sitting causes heart disease.

Also bananas contain potassium which is slightly radioactive so make sure not to go to the supermarket

[Darus Grey]

Well it's true that we're constantly bombarded by millions of radiation emitions, the difference is in the actual transmission power. A cell phone next to your head is orders of magnitude stronger than the background radiation we experience from other sources because in the case of a cell phone, you're actually at the source, with it against your head. It's not remotely comparable to wifi, microwaves, etc.

It's not an unreasonable concern imho, but as I said, use a headset, problem solved. The problem is borderline negligible though.

Only the tube monitors The same is also true of tube TV's

[Kerberoz]

Nope, all monitors bombard you with radiation. What do you think visible light is, magic?

buy 2 cell phones, get unlimited service, glue one to each nut, have them on call with each other at all times

let us know how that works out in 20 years

Well, you probably wouldn't have kids, but not because of the radiation.

Cathode Ray Tubes produce much higher amounts of radiation than any other viewing device. And we are talking about harmful radiation here, so stop being so fucking pedantic

[hey]

And we are talking about harmful radiation here

Good to know BG hasn't lost it's condescending flair, not that I expected any less. :D

I mean really, comparing using a cellphone placed near your head constantly to a microwave? Oh BG, you never fail to entertain.

Either way, I learned something from this thread.

Don't worry; If you think you're catching the cellphone cancer, just clear it up with some homeopathic plutonium.

You're such a know-it-all.

Pretty sure that standing in the sun for 5 minutes is much more cancer-inducing than using your phone for 5 minutes.

[Kerberoz]

Lies and slander.

[hey]

Pretty sure that's false. i mean, ignoring the fact that you couldn't get anywhere near the sun and still be a person anymore, dead people can't get cancer.

[Ashmada]

If you are afraid of using a cellphone, then you shouldn't use a microwave, satellite cable, or stand outside.

Pretty sure every single BG poster is already applying the latter part.

Wins teh thread.
(though one ought to leave the sun-eating to oversized, currently-chained-by-magical-ropes wolves)

[Omniyoji]

If you're concerned with the radiation just get an iPhone. There was a study I saw on TV or read in the news (don't remember) that rated it as the best. Probably during the iPhone3/4 days. Not sure how it stacks up to other new phones coming out/released. If you're seriously concerned, just holding the phone a few inches away decreases the amount substantially.

[Drex]

Don't forget all the radiation blowing over here from Japan on wind currents

[Jeryhn]

Wait a fucking second.

People still talk on their phones?

[hey]

Wait a fucking second.

People still talk on their phones?

Only when driving or talking to someone who is driving.
