I was reading a Gizmodo post recently about the a study on correlation between cellphones and cancer. The study isn’t done, but apparently there is considerable evidence pointing to cellphones causing tumors.
This raises a lot of very interesting questions. Cellphones have had such and incredible impact on the way we live our lives – would we give them up? Would it be possible to find a less harmful alternative? Giz thinks it could go the way of tobacco – common knowledge of its dangers that are ignored by many.
In case you’re wondering, this isn’t a real threat – the comments on that article explain. But it is interesting to step back and think of what our world would be like if suddenly cellphones became feared.
