I also heard you could get cancer or something.. Scary thought. I just keep telling myself it's a lie.

It's true, but the radiation is only a little, it's not a lot of radiation, so I doubt you'll die.

I heard it was only cellphones? But i don't know.
And if you're a guy and you put a laptop on your lap, it supposedly kills sperm. |

It depends on how you position your cellphone to your ear.
To avoid death, buy a cellphone microphone. |

I've heard of that somewhere. As for the radiation from computer monitors, remember that obsessed gamer who played for 70 hours straight and then afterward, died?
Maybe it was from the radiation of the computer. :/ |

Yes, cellphones are dangerous. Along with television. Not to mention staring at the computer screen.

Please, it's not that bad. Maybe if you walk around with your cell attached to your head all day long, but it's really not enough to have an effect. Standing in front of the microwave is far more dangerous

^ To clear up certain things:
I read that the radiation from cellphones is not great enough to harm your body at all. So, not worries. |

I'm not sure if it's true or not. In grade five, my friend's mother got cancer from using the cellphone too much. It might not be true though. She survived by taking an operation? I dunno. Can't really remember.

If you are really that paranoid, you should use the hands-free thingy instead. Because the antenna is where the radium comes from.

I don't think it is.
My health teacher told me that cell phones haven't been around for too long so the researchers don't really know. Wow..I actually payed attention.

Yeah, you can get cancer.. but then again, you can get cancer from a lot of things. I talk on the phone like 4 hours a day, whenever I have time and sometimes more. When I first heard it, I got paranoid, but oh well now.

don't worry about it. its like that microwave myth where you should stand far away from the microwave or your brain will fry.
all these things send out bad rays, but they aren't crazily damaging unless you do it consistently for a long long long long long time. if you stand by a microwave all day while its on for everday of your life until you are fifty, its bad for you. basically. just don't make a habit of sleeping with your cell phone everyday until you are fifty.

I don't really care if it's true. A lot of things are bad for you. Like, just being outside is bad for you if you live in a big city. A lot of experts have been saying that the air in your HOUSE is probably dirtier than the outdoor air. So, whatever.

That's what my science teacher said, it kinda freaked me out.
Lately I have been talking to someone 4 hours on the phone, just about every night . I ususally talk like 4 hours a day or more  . I hope these isn't  .
