How sure are we that our Cell Phones are safe as they should be?

Several research around the glob indicate frequent use of cell phone may have some health risk

As I recall, long time ago when the first mobile phones were available for sale, several German newspapers where questioning the cell phone safety, they have compared then with the frequent use of X-Ray machines. many physicians were also warning the public to use cell phones with caution.

Modern technology is great and me as tech fan I enjoy every new toy I see, indeed they are all great tools and we are all glad to have them. But wouldn't be better if the industry was testing them before they release them to the public.

I was informed by several technicians and physicians, the Blue Tooth ear pieces are just as bad due to the fact that they transmit all the time while are closed to our heads. The alternative would be the wire ear pieces.

Years ago when we had those small pocket radio transistors that where using the wired ear piece as their antenna. I am really not so sure, maybe the free hands speakers are better or less usage may be the real solution.
Will see.

I was listening to a doctor on television talk about this and he said he uses an ear piece just to be on the safe side. I've lost two of those and I guess I need to get another.

I help brokers build businesses they love.

I'm not so sure that the radio waves are as much an issue as the possibilities of the invasion of privacy. Many security experts suggest that you turn off the GPS locator in your phone for everything other than 911 calls. Just have to go through one really creepy stalking episode in life to understand how important this is. I have it turned off in my teenage daughter's phone now.

More opinions than you want to hear about.

Short term use may pose the greatest risk. Some people who can't walk and chew gum think they can drive, smoke, sip coffee, and use their cell phones simultaneously. If it weren't so dangerous, it would be amusing to watch them try. There also seems to be an unwritten law that they must do all in the left lane.

Sandy, Leslie, Mike,

Thanks for reading this report and thanks for you comments.

Well Sandy, I was informed that this Blue Tooth ear pieces are just as bad due to the fact that they transmit all the time while are closed to our heads. The alternative would be the wire ear pieces. But I recall the older days when we had those small pocket radio transistors that where using the ear piece wire as their antenna. I am really not so sure, maybe the free hands speakers and less usage is better.

Leslie, yeah big brother is watching us, GPS, Cellphones, On-star. and all the high tech we all love and enjoy. I wish I new that big brother and would like to meet him for a beer or glass of wine.
