Great strategy for choosing the Title :D Nice writing style as well.
I would only like to further emphasize the difference between the microwave oven and cell phone. While the microwave oven is closed and keep all the microwaves inside, mobile phones/ radars etc. are used in the open spaces and their irradiation is much less "concentrated". Even if you take something like a 1000 phones - it will not boil anything, unless there is some box surrounding them.
The belief that a cell phone with a maximum radiation power of about 1w is capable of doing any real damage is one that I will call an old wives tale. The Sun can transmit up to 48w of power to our heads if we are standing under the sun.
I don't know why some people imagine that we are incredibly fragile creatures. Humans are capable to withstand a lot. A negligible amount of radiation whose frequency is absorbable can in the worst case scenario heat the area for about 0.1 C. This is as dangerous as putting the palm on the forehead
Lol @alexs1320 that was hilarious to say the least! But still you wouldn't put your palm on your forehead all day, would you? :)
It's just an old wives tale taken a step further.
Sure! @greenrun ..the value does seem really insignificant and minuscule relative to other more common sources of radiations. But make no mistake though! ..little drops of water could and would eventually create an ocean someday. Afterall, from my knowledge on the subject it isn't like after a phone call all the seemingly "negligible amount" of radiation emitted simply dissipates into thin air. Remember the emphasis is on constant exposure and not just a one time experience thing. Hence, there could be an accumulative effect in the long term.
But who really knows? I guess this present generation would only have to wait some 10 to 15years or even more to discover the real truth.
We have constant exposure from other more powerful sources, if we don't die from its exposure, I guess we'd be safe from whatever radiation a cell phone had in it.
Yeah I guess. Well said then.
Thanks a lot for your kind words sir @alexs1320, you are way too kind!

Yeah, you do have a really valid point right there. The radiations from our mobile gadgets are far less concentrated on our bodies as we use them right in the open, just as you've rightly mentioned. And maybe, just maybe indeed the probable threats are overly exaggerated than necessary.
But still it might interest you to know that during my research on this subject, I stumbled upon the case of a man who apparently sued his ex-company, after he claimed to have suffered some form of brain damage on a cellular level after working for the company for a period of 15years, during which he claimed to be a full time mobile telephone operator of some sort. Didn't bother to follow up as to who won the case though, but the point is there are cases here and there, which although are few and far between shouldn't be taken too lightly. A decent amount of care and caution definitely wouldn't hurt and thus still needs to be applied. Thanks a lot for stopping by!
You literally spoke my mind! @alexs1320
Great post anyways @blessing97
Thank you! @florae
