An open letter to Bill Thompson (and the other gadget freaks).
I admire your ostrich like attitude to wireless technologies. I can only assume that your body works along different lines to those of most humans and that the laws of physics and biology don't apply to you. Or maybe you should get out more.
For those of us who live and breathe with other people I would rather side with the "tin hat brigade" than follow your Gadget Gang of Techno Sheep (or is it Techno Lemmings?) who blindly buy gadgets and believe that the Government and Large Companies only have their well-being in mind and would never expose them to dangers in the name of profit. Oh no.
Wake up and smell the coffee! So-called experts set (far too high) exposure limits according to measurements made years ago taking notice of a very narrow set of studies dating back even further. Non-thermal effects were conveniently excluded. Manufacturers and Wireless/Mobile Operators exploit these limits to the maximum and produce gadgets which emit up to the allowed limits to produce the best coverage and to maximise battery life for the optimum cost. All other factors, such as the safety and comfort of users, come a very poor second.
It is YOUR understanding of the Science that is wrong! You have glibly put all of your misunderstandings and slant on the situation - 2 + 2 = 5 doesn't it?
I suggest that you re-acquaint yourself with the real picture at "Dispelling Wireless Myths" - with referenced studies.
Referenced studies were strangely absent from your article - maybe none could be found to support your stilted view?
If the Large Companies don't totally succeed in destroying all life on the planet it will surely be the "tin hat brigade" who will inherit (the remnants of) the earth from the extinct Techno Sheep. You won't be missed.
