Why Johnny Can't Learn

We take the staggering technological advances that have been made in the past 50 years for granted. Technology that was once a distant dream is now a part of the fiber and fabric of our culture. A typical American home is equipped with microwaves, cell phones, cordless phones, Pdas, computers, and a wide assortment of technological gadgetry designed to make life easier.

However, what price are we paying for these advances and, more importantly, what price are our children paying for living in a world filled with these power emitting devices?

In spite of the occasional moot on safety, most of us have come to regard cellular phones as fairly harmless. After all, if cell phones were in any way perilous to our health, we would know about it. The sheer accessibility allays any inherent fears about their use. Cigarettes are also widely available but we now know without demand that not only are they harmful to the user but to those colse to the user as well. However, widespread tobacco use went on for hundreds of years before the association in the middle of it and the fatalities it causes was made. Until then, the vast majority of habitancy didn't consider cigarettes, pipes, or any other form of tobacco use hazardous. Are we guilty of being lulled into a similarly false sense of safety about cell phones?

The sass is an emphatic and resounding "Yes."

Before you dismiss that as an alarmist cry of an anti-technology fringe of society, let's take a closer look. Estimates indicate that we are exposed to 100 million times more radiation per day than in our grandparents' generation. Electromagnetic Fields (Emf) are low levels of radiation which are generated by electronic devices. First concerns about radiation were dismissed because of low level of exposure. We learned to live with microwaves because our homes were not filled with other devices. Yet, what is the risk now, when our homes are filled with electronic devices, our cars are powered by micro-computers, we are surrounded by power lines and cell towers, and we spend hours a day with a movable phone held to our ear?

Cellular phones originate a field known as Radio Frequency Radiation (Rf). A whole of studies have closed that Rf from mobile phones poses indispensable condition risk to users, along with headaches, memory loss, autism, brain cancers, leukemia and learning disorders. The Committee on Electromagnetic power - group condition Issues stated in an Australian Government consulation paper that : "Human exposure of radio frequency radiation is most from mobile phone handsets because of the method of use, with the transmitting antenna of the mobile phone handset close to the head. There is evidence that localized hot spots or power deposition in the brain may occur as a consequence of internal reflections." In another study conducted by prominent neurosurgeon, Dr. Leif Salford and colleagues at Lund University in Sweden the data indicated an "unambiguous link in the middle of microwave radiation emitted by Gsm mobile phones (the most common type worldwide) and brain damage in rats." There are hundreds of studies with correlative data indicating that this is far more than an anti-establishment ploy concocted by paranoid believers who fear technology and limited green men.

Just as the data on the dangers of tobacco was inexpressive in plain sight, one need only scratch under the outside to find warnings about cell phone use. Scientists have warned parents to practice caution in providing cell phones to children younger than eight years of age as there is limited known about the ensue of radiation on developing brains. Paul Brodeur, a noted science journalist, was one of the first in the medical community to issue a group alert about the dangers of Emf. Brodeur warned that introducing your body to new soldiery such as Emf created a condition known as "adaptation stress." In this condition the body is sent into chaos as it tries to adapt to the new forces. Brodeur identified symptoms such as fatigue, confusion, lack of attention and focus, headaches, backaches and increased emotional volatility. Is it a coincidence that many of these symptoms which we have come to connect with and label as learning disorders in children have increased dramatically over the past decade?

In another study, conducted by the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic investigate Institute, it was found that a cell phone call lasting only two minutes not only opens the blood-brain wall (in children and adults) allowing toxins into the blood stream which can assault brain cells, but in children that same two limited exposure could disrupt the natural electrical operation of their brain for up to an hour following the call. So alarming was the data that Dr. Gerald Hyland, mobile phone adviser to the British Government, was quoted as saying "If I were a parent I would now be very wary about allowing my children to use a mobile even for a very short period. My guidance would be to avoid mobiles."

The cell phone commerce is targeting the very profitable children's market. Cell phone makers are marketing "Disney phones" and kid-friendly versions with parental controls. The commerce is no longer article to have the adult and teen market, but in nationwide back-to-school campaigns, they aggressively market to tweens and younger.

We may not have all of the answers today, but the data we do have is alarming. How much more evidence do we need before we take the dangers to our children seriously?
