I know that cell phones help us out quite a lot in the time that we are living. But, has anyone ever thought of the implications it might have on our head when we are holding a mini microwave next to it all the time. Is this dangerous? Has there ever been research done on it? Please inform me...

There has been quite a bit of research done on cell phone usage and illness that may be attributed to it. The results are inconclusive.

There has been REAMS of research done into it, most of it conflicting to be fair;

Some scientists say that every piece of equipment going emits harful waves and modern society is getting ill because of it!

I don't care, I love my laptop and TV! Bring on the pain! Ha ha!

I would be more concerned about the immense glowing EM source in the sky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun) than relatively low powered mobile phones.

Penn and Teller have a show on Showtime called "Bull[explitive]!" They did quite an interesting episode on this.

Many people claim microwaves and cell phones can cause tumors according to some studies but "THEY" debunk it because it would hurt the economy.
