Yet another example of how the world is hard...
I'm not sure what to make of this. I thought there wasn't any good evidence of radiation from mobile phones being harfmul.
- blindpixel 8y agoI am in the same boat. I get a creeping sense of horror when I read such reports.
- SimbaOnSteroids 8y agoWhen I read such reports I try to assume the worst is true, in this example that cell phone towers do in fact cause increased rates of cancer, however minuscule. Then I ask, is this a cost that we as a society are willing to bear for value add of the thing in question. In this case, I think the increase in cancer rates would have to be astronomically high for us to say that's too dangerous.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoYes and no. If it turned out the evidence is really obvious, it actually might spur new developments without the problems of the older technology.
- bittercynic 8y agoThere still isn't any good evidence. Sometimes seems like the hardest thing about the world right now is to avoid getting scared/depressed by excessive exposure to reports like this one.
- dwaltrip 8y agoYeah.. reading all the comments that appeared after I wrote mine, it looks like I don't need to worry too much. That is, assuming the HN hivemind is on the right track -- which, for something like this, I think is generally the case.
