The first cell phone call was made in 1973. Folks started drooling over cell phones in thr 1980s but unless you were a finance bro, you probably couldn’t afford one. As the 1990s progressed, prices came down to where regular folks could afford them, and by the 21st century they were everywhere. Folks, it’s been 50 years and the myths continue. In fact, the myth of how dangerous cell phones are resurfaced in the early ’20s. Global protests over 5G popped up as new towers started appearing. So, let’s revisit this myth again.
The answer is no
No. That’s right, no. There is, at this point, no reliable evidence that the amount of radiation put out by a cell phone will hurt you unless you take that to an extreme. Strap 5 phones to your head and have them actively calling for 3 weeks straight and I don’t know, maybe. But as far as regular usage, there’s just nothing to this myth.
Of course we’re all worried about the effect technology is having on us. Studies tell us that just sitting is hurting us, and there are those who feel that holding a radio transmitter to your head for hours every day couldn’t possibly be good for you. On the other hand, your mom probably told you that you’d burn your eyes out if you sat too close to the TV and that turned out not to be true either.
Modern life is full of pitfalls, and the last thing we want to worry about is our modern conveniences rising up against us and hurting us in ways we didn’t imagine, but cell boosters have been tested as safe and effective and there’s no reason to think that if used properly they would cause any problem at all. They put out a similar amount of RF energy to what your wireless router or cordless phone put out.
It shouldn’t stop you from doing what you want with your phone
If you’re worried about frying your brain with a cell booster, don’t. While tests aren’t conclusive as to whether cell phones can hurt you when you hold them to your ear, there’s no reason to think that a cell booster could have any negative effect on you unless you are REALLY REALLY close. Even then the amount of power is pretty tiny, much less than you would have gotten from any cell phone you used in the 1980s or 1990s.
And let’s not forget that it’s 2023. Do you really hold your phone to your head a lot? I doubt it. You text people. You surf. and you shop. On those rare occasions when you take voice calls, I bet you use a Bluetooth headset. This makes things even safer, because that radiation is even further from your brain.
Bloodsucking lawyers make me say things
As usual, I have to put information in here to satisfy the bloodsucking lawyers. I am not a doctor. I am a blogger, and all I can do is respond to the research I read. If you are concerned about your health, you should see a doctor. You should not take the opinion of anyone on the internet when it comes to your health. That includes me, actual doctors, and engineers. There, I said it.
