I recently read an article at http://youthonhealth.com/cell-phones-a-health-hazard-for-the-youth/ by Devkainya Samadrita Das. Das posits that cell phones are "A Health Hazard for the Youth". The fact that Das uses terms like "fiddle with", "the cellphone" and "the youth" through this literary work, leads me to believe that this article was not written by "the youth". But, before I get onto my generation next soapbox, we must take a look at this picture of "destructive dependence" Das paints with phrases about young people "saying that they would rather go without food for a day than without their cellphones". You'd think that if someone was going to write an article about a "destructive dependence" they would have some proof of the destructive part. But, not Das. Instead Das disproves the articles title by stating "So far, there has been no conclusive evidence that electromagnetic radiations caused by cellphones cause cancer, tumors and other deadly diseases of the kind". Das does go on to say that "there have been enough studies and researches that have been conducted to raise eyebrows" and that "prolonged usage has been shown by studies to cause extreme fatigue, high blood pressure, increase of heartbeats and warming of the brain cells" Sans the brain cell warming, sex has the same effects on some people...and sex ain't destructive.
