Technology in this ever-evolving world has brought about many positive and significant changes over the last semi-centennial. In fact, many may say or even feel that the advantages of evolving technology by far out-ways the disadvantages. Technology has become the very heart of our daily existence and without it so to say, we’d be back in the stone ages “ keeping up with the Flintstones ”

On the other hand, there are serious disadvantages to “ evolving technology ” which are deemed harmful to humans if they are exposed for long periods, and may also cause psychological issues if not properly balanced. This brings new meaning to the saying “ caught between a rock and a hard place ”

Evolving Technologies

With the inception of Mobile Cellular Systems for commercial use in 1992, Mobile Operators along with an intrigued mankind marveled at the launch of the cellular networks. One of the many technologies that would evolve and shape our future for years to come. Even though the possibilities have been endless, there has been evidence for many years revealing the harmful effects resulting from long term exposure to radiation emitted by cellular devices and towers. It was discovered that mobile devices operating on GSM networks emit significantly more radiation than mobile devices operating on CDMA networks.

A study conducted by Mark McNeeley, co-author of the study ‘ Measured Radio Frequency Exposure During Various Mobile-Phone Use Scenarios ’ determined that GSM mobile calls emit twenty-five times more radiation over that of CDMA mobile phones. GSM technology constantly produces Pulsed Microwave Radiation and Base Stations are transmitting even when your device is idle. Research conducted by Scientists has proven that transmissions from GSM networks rise immediately to peak power before they drop to an acceptable level. CDMA network power is always constant, at the lowest level possible.

Further studies also revealed that Radio Frequency emissions from Cell towers were just as harmful, in-fact people who resided near cell towers were negatively affected and experienced an array of symptoms that can be viewed here.

Is 5G Harmful to your Humans?

According to CTIA Wireless Health Facts, there has been a lot of confusion in relation to failing health in humans and electromagnetic radio frequencies. A counterclaim was presented by independent scientific organizations spanning over a period of 70 years of reviewed studies and evidence that was adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in December 2019. This reaffirms the safety standards set by the FCC and that there was no evidence to support failing health and adverse effects on humans as a result of wireless technologies.

The International Scientific Consensus, the World Health Organization, the American Cancer Society and the Food and Drug Administration have arrived at the same conclusion “ There is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations (cell towers) and wireless networks cause adverse health effects “ Source

So let’s agree on the following, irrespective of what we read and hear, the choice to #act at the end remains our own. Facts and Studies will remain theories unless information on these topics submerge into the light and voiced appropriately. All it takes is one “ cast of a pebble “ into the mighty ocean creating a ripple effect forceful enough to inspire change. I use the word #inspire as it has the power to create (a feeling, especially a positive one) which brings about change.
