Yes, it's a usual load of Tosh, the opening paragraph says it all, even a so
called expert admits he doesn't know.

"Parents should ensure their children use mobile phones only when absolutely
necessary because of the potential health risks, an expert is warning."
Then in same sentence,

"The latest study by Sir William Stewart says there is still no proof mobile
phones are unsafe,"

The vision of angry villagers with flaming torches spring to mind every time
I hear about objections to mobile phones/masts.

The IEEE Spectrum reports that cell phone use for ten years
results in a benign tumor that causes hearing loss.

Is that 10 years continous use? If so, most youngsters will be death by the
time they are 18, if the 'music' hasn't 'got them by 15 ;-)

I'm glad I'm too old to like what passes for 'music' these days ;-)

I assume you mean deaf? Few people have used cell phones
for ten years already. Some of those few are starting to
get tumors inside their ears. I have switched over to a
headset for my cellphone activities after having one
for about three years.

Indeed, thinking of something else as I typed. Its the 'music' ;-)

Not sure about that. The mobile phone was an icon of the 'Yuppie' era (along
with the Filofax, BMW, Rolex, etc.) That was mid 1980s.

I'm pretty sure we one of the early 'next generation' phones (digital) in
about 1990.

Just checked, it One2One launched in 1993, and there were other systems
before that.

Hard to believe, I don't recall a time when we weren't plagued by the
'mobile'.

Few compared to an estimated 200,000,000 by 2017.

In which case, it could well be the end of the world! With all that RF
flying about, chances are, by 2017 every male in the world will be sterile.

If there's a moral here, it must be, don't keep your phone in your trouser
pocket!

You in the USA already? ;-)

Already I have used an already mobile phone for well over ten years already.
(not too sure how to punctuate that in the USA vernacular) ;-)
I see no signs of ill health in either myself, or my daughter already. We
both went with Orange about the same time. ( A British mobile phone network)
Now Orange work at about 1.8 Gig? At that time, that was about the highest
frequency phone system that was going. Now we have systems that work at 3
gigabyte? already. Or do they operate at even higher frequencies already?
I'm not to sure already.

Right! I'm off to bed already. ;-)

Isn't Orange an offshoot of Hutchinsion Telecom which was, I think, from
Hong Kong?

Actually Dave, Cecil's use of "already" was quite appropriate. Just
because it may not be 'our' English doesn't make it incorrect- for good or
ill US and UK English are diverging. Languages change. In fact, there is
some evidence the US English is nearer to old English than current UK usage.
