Would Spider-Man use a cell phone?

"With great power comes great responsibility." -Spider Man

Recently I have been reading more and more about how wireless technology could be affecting our health and our food supply. Some research shows that the radiation set off by our cell phones are messing with the navigation of honey bees and they are not able to find their way back to their hives, and so they die. There has already been a significant drop in the amount of bees pollinating plants in the US and abroad. Most of the world's crops depend on pollination by bees. Albert Einstein once said that if the bees disappeared, "man would have only four years of life left".

So, what does this have to do with being a dad? Well, besides the fact that our food population could be at risk in the future, it also raises some red flags about cell phones in general. Just think, if cell phones are doing this to bees then what is happening to us and our family. Research has shown that cell phone radiation does in fact kill brain cells(especially in those under 8yrs old). It is also shown that people who have been using a cell phone for over 10 years have shown that when getting a brain tumor it occurs 40% more on the side of the head where they used their cell phone the most.

The reason I write this post is to encourage others to consider their cell phone usage. My wife and I decided to get a landline and not use cordless phones(they also emit radiation) when at home. We also turn off our wireless internet when we are not using it(this is also radiation and harmful to children especially). I have actually challenged myself to only plug in my computer directly to the internet. You would be surprised how much less needlessly you will surf the web and how much more mindful time you will spend with your loved ones. Last night our power went out and my wife was thankful I wasn't piddling on the web.
