So. The radiation debate. Things have dwindled down from when I last posted; even though this debate was a large portion of the media a while ago, it's completely dwindled down now. Good for all cellular phone companies and most of the industry. Bad for us. There's a clear dichotomy here; however, in this certain situation, one side is more clear and apparent in this issue than the other: the good side of EMR. Firstly, I can start off by describing the reason that the benefits of putting to use electromagnetic radiation technology are overly divulged in our society. We can start by looking at the situation from a bird's point of view. A bird can see the map of the whole debate, outlined to detail. They can see the disadvantages of each and the advantages quite equal, and, in fact; have not made up their minds on what side they will advocate for, therefore, putting themselves quite distinctly in "no man's land". While most of the public is aware that this issue exist, there is, as always, a percentage that don't, and it's in the hands of the cellphone industry (and top priority as well) to promote the advantages of cellphone usage, as extremely as to the point where the consumer of the product doesn't even realize that there is a disadvantage. Always remember: you're their customer, and it's in their hands to get you to keep consuming. What we come to conclude then, is that the number one way for cellular companies to keep attracting customers is to, well... keep attracting customers, and what better way for them to do so than promote the amazing advantages of EMR technology. Since EMR was industrialized and put to use in today's modern technology environment, it's "good side" has been, in my opinion, excessively put in the spotlight. And I believe that this is only so for a single reason; to hide the fact that beyond what you would call these 'advantages of EMR' lays a layer not divulged to man until recently. The EMR bad layer.
Now, you may be thinking: why all the brouhaha? Well, it's been an ongoing struggle, since as with any issue, there are two, quite dichotomous sides in terms of their point of views. In my case, there are the cellphone companies, and other advocates of the technology, and the researchers and such, dwindling down all the way to people like myself, who are at most, trying to get others educated about this apparent debate. Now, another reason EMR benefits are being put up in the spotlight is because many studies have been conducted and proved right, all leading to the conclusion that EMR is harmful, and because the industry does not want you to believe such things, they cover it up. An example of a recent study was one published in the Toronto Star not long ago (I have a blog post about it as well: http://effectsofemr.blogspot.com/2012/01/radiation-in-oshawa-apartment-causes.html). In it, residents in an Oshawa apartment get so ill that it comes to the point where people assume that the two are AIDS patients). Let's play a game, can you guess the cause? None other than EMR fields, hidden beneath the floor boards of the apparent, and shown in the video to be powerful enough to fully light a light bulb.

We know that radiation, especially EMR, is very, very dangerous, and I have come to the conclusion that the cellphone (and wi-fi, any company marketing wireless, etc.) know about the dangers and cover it up on purpose, or only mention in so slightly that many are incapable of noticing such a danger hidden in a product we have come to know and love. As I was demonstrating in an earlier post, people are only suspicious of the fact that these EMR products are all dangerous since these have entitled us to so much, and have been around for at least the last 10+ years. I know that it's hard letting product(s) we have incorporated into our lives and that have become cultural capitol go; however, it's a certainly possible lifestyle to adapt, and many have taken this route.
Evidently, once you get used to a certain lifestyle, it's easy to adapt! Really, I mean it. Once you start doing something, especially if you know that it will make a positive difference towards your new, healthier life, go for it! Trust me, this whole thing is worth it. By joining millions of people who are already educated about this topic, you can help educate others, and increase the attention people pay to something as apparent as this.
Finally, my main point is: educate others, know about what's going on, and protect yourself. There are many ways to do so, and I know that completely changing your lifestyle in a short time is a long shot; however, it's the little things you do that will really be impact yourself and make a difference. My main purpose is to educate others, and to let them know that there is an issue in our world that sits in front of our very eyes, but that no one stood up to. I would appreciate if you refer to some of my previous posts for points of reference, some deal with actual products that you can use to protect yourself (special cases for cellphones {doing just that can help}), and others with studies, living a EMR free life, and so on.
