The harm goes beyond excessive screen time

The brain is not the only body part being affected by electronic devices. Studies [4] all over
the world are saying the microwave radiation (which is how all wireless devices send and
receive data) coming off a phone or tablet, is causing biological harm through long-term
exposure. Recent studies have found links between brain and heart cancer from long-term
exposure to microwave radiation, and much more. In all of the research two elements seem
to be most significant: long-term exposure effects and amount of exposure. You could say,
“Well my child only has two hours of screen time during the day…” But what about the
exposure to the Wi-FI router in the house? The exposure to the Wi-Fi router in their school?
And if they carry their smartphone on their body throughout the day, what about the amount
of microwave radiation exposure during that time period? The cumulative exposure to
microwave radiation daily is changed significantly when you take into consideration these
extra environmental influences.

Solutions exist
So what do you do as a parent, when your children are quite literally digitally addicted to
their wireless internet devices? And you probably are as well. In fact, the odds are that you
are reading this on a wireless device…

For parents and children the answers are complex: You can’t simply tell them not to use the
device, especially if you use one. That road leads to a lot of arguments and eventually a
breakdown in your relationship.

Of course, mobile phones have tremendous value as well. If you are ever in a serious road
accident the first thing you need to do is call for emergency services from your mobile
phone. The list of benefits of technology is enormous too. But wireless technology – like any
other technology – must be treated with respect and caution.

The answer is to find out how to minimise the damage and be clever about it:

A car will kill a teenager far quicker than their mobile phone will ever give them brain
cancer, and for a car we undertake a driver’s course and practical tests, in order to be able
to use a very dangerous vehicle.

So why not take a training course on how to use a smartphone, a tablet, a wireless router
and all the other wireless technology in your home, schools and offices? Learn how to use
the devices in a manner which reduces the risks and the exposure levels.

To this end our non-profit Wireless Education has created quick, low-cost scientifically and
medically sound online training courses. They firstly explain a whole lot more about the
wireless technology used to transmit the data, and secondly, offer a number of practical
ways in which you can still use technology, but comply with the manufacturers’ safety
instructions, the recommendations
