Finally, A Definitive Answer On Whether Cell Phones Cause Cancer -- In 20 Or 30 Years | Techdirt. Great. We will know, in 20 to 30 years, whether our cell phones cause cancer. I figure that will make my time in the nursing home pass more swiftly. Of course, the caffeine in the coffee I drink a few cups a day of, also causes cancer. So does the Florida sunshine, and the charred bits of meat that I love to eat well done, and, well, you get the picture. When did we become a society that is so risk averse that we are told to sit in our houses, out of the sun, and do nothing? We can't even watch TV (radiation, right?). Please. If I want to eat hot dogs, and charred burgers, and drink a lot of coffee, and use a cell phone, that is my decision. Or, is it? Of course, there are preventive measures that can be taken to avoid cell phone cancer, such as cell phone radiation masks. These things serve a dual purpose, in that they can also be used during the gas attacks that are certainly coming soon. Hey, I wonder if you could attach one of those head umbrellas to one of these things, to avoid skin cancer?
Cell phones are one of those technologies that haven't really been around long enough for people to seriously understand what the long term effects of their use is on the human body. They only came into widespread usage in the later 1990s so the long term effects are unknown.
