    "The art of connecting things is becoming more and more complex every day. In this article, we will look at a method of connecting devices, called Bluetooth, that can streamline the process. A Bluetooth connection is wireless and automatic, and it has a number of interesting features that can simplify our daily lives. "

  • — the level of radiation your cell phone sends sizzling toward your skull.

      It's really not that most people don't know this, they just put it to the side, being that they think its really not that big of a deal. Cell phones have become such a huge neccesity in peoples lives that they ignore the health risks it may cause.
  • In issuing its rankings, the Environmental Working Group — a nonprofit advocacy group concerned mostly with health problems it associates with pollution — injects itself into a scientific controversy that has simmered for years without consensus.

      Does this meant that cell phones can cause pollution? If so I think many people including myself are unaware of this fact.

  • Yet the debate goes on. One recent study in Great Britain found “no evidence that the risk of developing pituitary tumors is associated with cellular phone use.” A Swedish study published this summer did find a correlation between cell phone and cordless phone use and tumors. Yet a third piece of recent research failed to connect tumors to cell phones but said that conclusion is less convincing “because the observation period has been too short.”

      The media doesn't want to ultimately say that there is a correlation between cell phones and brain tumors, because they will then be accountable to an extent for sales dropping in cell phones.
  • Use of a Bluetooth device — those blinking blue devices worn on the ear that connect wirelessly to a nearby cell phone — could raise or lower radiation exposure, depending on the circumstances.

      How would it decrease the radiation? A bluetooth is still an electronic device and peope actually stick it in their ear

    "What IBM has shown is that with some simple off-the-shelf components and some clever software, telemedicine can give patients back one of the most precious things their treatment takes from them: their time."

    But not everyone on dialysis now needs to visit the hospital every other day. Jonas Drawitsch lives 40km from Heidelberg's children's clinic but thanks to a system set up by IBM, he puts in his six hours of dialysis during his sleep and doctors check his progress at a distance. Every day Jonas takes his blood pressure and weighs himself. The measurements go via bluetooth to a mobile phone which then sends the information to the hospital.

  • those who frequently use cell phones on a certain side of their head are 50% more likely than non-cell-phone-users to develop a tumor in the salivary gland on that side of the head.

      people are frequently on their cell phones for many reasons and most of the time they have the cell phone on a specific side of their head without the knowledge of the radition coming from the cell phone can be harmful to their body
  • the precautionary principle suggests practices such as using a wired headset instead of a Bluetooth earpiece, and enabling the speaker function rather than holding the phone to your ear. In addition, rather than storing the cell phone in your pocket, keep the phone away from your body between calls. Paramount to the precautionary principle is to limit the use of cell phones whenever possible. Make fewer calls and make shorter ones. Choose a cell phone with low-radiation and limit children's cell phone usage, since their brain cells may be more sensitive to the effects of cell phone radiation.

      suggested solutions are that wired headset to be used over bluetooth earpiece, placing the phone on speaker when in a call, keep the phone away form the body in between calls, give childreen cell phone that emitt low-radiation and limit their cell phone usage since their brain cells are more senstitive to the radiation effects at a young age

  • Cell phones and other hand held devices are rapidly becoming a part of our culture. Cell phones are everywhere. They are used by 87 percent of Americans and over 4 billion people worldwide. Students in high school and now even grade school children are using cell phones to talk to each other, and text messaging has become a social norm. We are addicted to cell phones.

      introducing cell phones to younger children can create a risk factor on their health in the future. since they would want to be more so engaged with the cell phone now that they obtain one, the radiation will spill out faster onto them and it may have a greater effect on the body than to an older person
  • New technologies are emerging to shield the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted from cell phones and other electronic devices. Certain chips can be attached to cell phones and earpieces to counteract the EMR, and special paint coated on your walls can limit EMR from adjacent apartments seeping into yours. These shields may help you if you stay behind them. Those who like to roam can wear special headbands, clothing, hats, gloves, and pendants designed to protect the wearer against radiofrequencies and EMR

      cell phone accessories can be used to help prevent the EMR (elecrtomagnetic radiation) from being emitted from the cell phone onto the users body
