Electronic Smog: What Is It? and Why Should We Be Concerned?
Regular readers of my blog know that my main concerns are in education and in enhancing education so that children's skills blossom. But there is a range of ancillary issues that plays a big role in accomplishing this goal.
One of those issues concerns the health of children. That is where electronic smog comes in. It is the term that has been created to capture the fact that the electricity that powers our civilization gives off a range of effects that appear to be dangerous.Scientific evidence has begun to show that it may be causing cancer and miscarriages as well as making some people allergic to modern life.
Science from the ‘40s to the present has demonstrated the harmful effects of microwave radiation—the platform upon which the entire wireless universe—cell phones, text messaging, WiFi, WiMax and RFID—is built. Yet the wireless network is expanding, with the approval of government "as fast as it can."
So instead of moving with caution, we are moving with extreme speed. The final outcome for the youth of our nation and the youth of the world may be serious --beyond all our imaginings. There is no way for me to even begin to cover the key issues. But if you are interested, there is a large body of information on the web that can get you started on what is happening and what you might do to protect yourself.
