You're illuminated by far more watts of radiation from non-5G sources than you are 5G sources, more so if you're outdoors. Not only is the 5G radiation non-ionizing but it doesn't penetrate for shit through water (a major component of humans). Unless you put your face against a tower's antenna there's nothing about a 5G radio worth worrying about. As for the network part, it's a high bandwidth but low latency connection rivaling wired internet but wireless. It's no less useful than high speed wired Internet. For some applications, mobile but bandwidth or latency sensitive, it's infinitely better than wired.
