Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] AW

Not me, but it's an ongoing concern - rather than a worry - that all this wireless stuff raises. What I'm a little afraid of is that the news media will treat it with kid gloves, because so much of the economy now relies on it. There'll be behind-the-scenes pressure not to rock that very important boat.

Like any technical issue, the mass media are ill-equipped to inform intelligently. They're much better at exploiting pop hooks and at scandal-mongering.

I've never been worried but anyone got any radiation science facts to share that would help the understanding? Or links?

Of course it will.
The great majority of the population has minimal understanding of radiation physics.

As I said.
