He has a point about txting zombies though. And mobile phone use when driving is causing a fair number of accidents with some fatalities.

I have a flip phone that is just a telephone. I run up maybe 15 minutes a month. I hear that flip phones are cool again.
I doubt that cell phone RF causes cancer. People are trying to stop 5G because 70 GHz "radiation" is "so much more intense" than what we use now.
The radiation that clearly causes cancer is sunlight.

Well, then the terrorists will not be able to detonate their bombs.
I opine that cell phones have caused a minimum 20% drop in productivity in the workplaces they are allowed in. Likely more than the losses incured back when folks smoked in the workplace and even once they started taking little personal smoke breaks to do it.
Many of our labs do not allow them in, and those that do allow them frown on any casual use.
No. Soryy but cell phones, nor cell phone towers are causing any lethal health issue in humans or birds or anything else.
If it were, all those techs all around the world whom all work in live towers mere inches away from active antennas would have a notabely higher incidence... and they do not. Period.
RF radiation is NOT numclear radiation.
No. Wired telephones is where you lose your personal information to wire tap hackers.
You're an idiot. You must go. Go somewhere and grow up.

An operator of a motor vehicle doing anything that distracts from full attention to the road excursion is guilty of distracted driving.
Distracted driving has even caused train crashes in a world where that should not even be possible.
Folks should get NAILED with $500 fines and driving points as well. They should also extratc cash and compliance from all these assholes who think a license plate cover is legal.
It is illegal in ALL 50 states to obscure you tag. To me, that even includes a clear cover as at an angle other than 90 degrees, one can have glare issues reading the tag. Those little surround rings should be illegal as well.

The penalty for distracted driving should be death, instantaneous by means built into each car. Of course, the execution may also cause an accident, but only one while each distracted driver can cause many fatalities if left to drive recklessly on the highway.

You sure? IIUC there wasn't much cancer around in the 1800s when farm workers spent day after day in the fields with no shirt on..

Not many people would be left, most folk have done it at some point in thei r life. And all those passengers and nearby drivers that would die unnecessarily. Very dumb idea.
They died too young to get cancer.

If visible light caused cancer, life would have a hard time surviving.
Cancer is caused by ionizing radiation. Visible light, which is about 380 to 740 nanometers, is not energetic enough to cause ionization. You have to go to the ultraviolet, which is above 400nm. Here is a brief excerpt that explains more:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UV radiation is part of the electromagnetic (light) spectrum that reaches the earth from the sun. It has wavelengths shorter than visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. These wavelengths are classified as UVA, UVB, or UVC, with UVA the longest of the three at 320-400 nanometers (nm, or billionths of a meter). UVA is further divided into two wave ranges, UVA I, which measures 340-400 nanometers (nm, or billionths of a meter), and UVA II which extends from 320-340 nanometers. UVB ranges from
290 to 320 nm. With even shorter rays, most UVC is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not reach the earth.Both UVA and UVB, however, penetrate the atmosphere and play an important role in conditions such as premature skin aging, eye damage (including cataracts), and skin cancers. They also suppress the immune system, reducing your ability to fight off these and other maladies.
It's more a matter of resonance than intensity. :)

True. Prior to 1900, the average US life span was about 50 years. 120 years later, it's 79 years. There's a definite connection between age and the onset of most cancers.
All cancers by age first diagnosed:
Brain and nervous system cancers by age: Note that most brain cancers appear at age 50 and above. Seniors are not major users of cell phones which suggests that correlating cell phone use and brain cancer is unlikely.
Brain and nervous system cancer by year: Cell phone use dramatically increased starting in about 1990. If there was any correlation between cell phone use and brain cancer, one would expect to see a corresponding increase in brain cancer incidence. The slight increase and following decrease was caused by the introduction of PET (positron emission tomography) for cancer diagnosis, which produced earlier cancer diagnosis.
Now we all know that exposure to cell phone radiation hazard publications causes logic failure.

with all the deadly diseases around then, they did not get old enough to get cancer.
And if they got cancer, or a bad hart or rheumatism it was called aging or "death from natural causes".
kers spent day after day in the fields with no shirt on..
There was still quite a bit. People did tend to die of infectious diseases before they had a good chance to develop cancer, which becomes more frequen t in old age, so it wasn't such a leading cause of death.
Farm workers in the UK aren't as susceptible to skin cancers as people who work closer to the equator - the slanting path thrugh the ozone layer takes out a lot more UV and A and B than the more direct route that applies for people working outside in Italy, Spain or Australia. There's a factor of ab out one hundred involved.

Yep. Sure does include UV. That's why sunlight causes cancer and RF appears not to. (as we here all know, except maybe for unlisted)
