I am so guilty on this one but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I feel technology is taking away precious time we have on this earth. I know now maybe I shouldnt have baught my Zune mp3 player, I spent so much time on the computer trying to figure it all out, that I lost fun time with my kids. I kind of just want to erase everything on it and sell it now and I have had it for 1 single day. Cell phones? Well I am not a chronic user but they have helped quite a bit in important or scary situations. Hospital visits, family crisis, things like that. I have no idea whats so great about a Blackberry, maybe thats good that I dont know. I had no idea how great an Ipod was, so I got the newest craze, the Zune, yeah it looks great but its already cost me time and money, I am just not that into it I spose. I have alot of real life catching up now a days.

Lack of the once ubiquitous "common" sense is the cause of these "diseases", and of course, there is always a cottage industry waiting to "treat" these "ailments". Blackberry thumb MASSAGE? You GOTTA BE KIDDING! - ONLY IN AMERICA!!!<br><br>The most prevalent MYTH is that cell phones cause BRAIN CANCER. This is a CROCK, and is a candidate for inclusion on www.AssholesAmongUs.com - I have been a HAM Radio Operator since 1967 (WB2ANR). If RF radiation caused cancer, I'd be a lump of quivering tumors by now.<br><br>Among all the MYTHS one can conjure, is to blame TECHNOLOGY for STUPIDITY. If your child drinks flouridated water, he/she will develop BEHAVIORAL anomalies such as ADD and sometimes even AUTISM. If you take FLU SHOTS, you are 1000 times as likely to develop Altzheimer's disease.<br><br>Many of these MYTHS are dispelled on my Web Site at www.Net4TruthUSA.com - and you can download free MP3 archives of radio programs that discuss these and other LIES told by the media at: www.Net4TruthUSA.com/radioprograms.htm and you can be enlightened about OTHER lies told ny the government about "terrorist" attacks from www.Net4TruthUSA.com/videodocumentaries.htm<br><br>LEARN THE TRUTH, and STOP BLAMING TECHNOLOGY. If you use the WRONG TOOL to do your work, EXCPECT to pay the consequences. A BLACKBERRY was not designed for "touch-typing", but 90% of people who have them choose to write NOVEL-Length emails.<br><br>STUPIDITY IS THE PURSUIT OF IGNORANCE.<br>IGNORANCE PLEADS WITH YOU NOT TO FOLLOW. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 4:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't own a cell phone and never will. How many times a year is a phone call that important that it can't wait until you are at your destination? - seriously.<br><br>I strongly suggest that you all google 'The Greatest Biological Experiment Ever'. I also suggest you read 'Cross Currents' by Robert Becker. This is serious here.<br><br>EMFs from our gadgets are causing both our immune systems and pathogens to behave in abnormal ways.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carol]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 4:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow, Carol- You really need to relax a little and stop worrying so about what and who is out to get you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 18th 2008 4:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[Mr. Conlon needs to do more research.

My ex worked with radar and is a heavy cell phone user and just had one removed at 42!<br><br>So why don't 'all' cell phone users get cancer? We all are host to a variety of 'bugs' (bacteria, fungus, viruses). If you have a certain bug 'combo' and also are a heavy computer or cell phone user, bingo - you get cancer. You'll be sick here soon, Dave. You may or may not get a brain tumor, but unless you are germ-free, you will eventually come down with diabetes, heart disease, or any other of a number of diseases you are so certain are unaffected by technology.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carol]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 5:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[gagets can not make sick or take your live the goverment is tring to scare us to make us work more instead working as much us we alway do. and tring to make more money. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robbie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2007 9:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[i have a razor phone and i text message all the time,mainly with my thumbs and it hasent had an affect on me.like i mean u cant really blame cell phone's because while typing on the computer you have to use your thumbs to hit the space bar.you also have to use your other finger's to type so really people should not just blame cell phone's for their finger's hurting.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[halicia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 4:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[dave, Can you live without your cellphone, i-pod, computer, blackberry for one week. Sounds like you are in denial.All this tech is so artificial--- get real and enjoy life and nature, like Nicole said.  Life is short and when it is over, perhaps you can say that you never missed a call, but you cannot replace the really important things you are missing with your ear, eyes, and head wired up!<br>I just retired my cell phone and I feel so liberated! I am working on the computer next.  Never will have the other stuff, nor will I buy them for my kids (7).  I want them to climb trees, ride bikes and fight with each other, rather than be oblivious to what and who is around them.<br>What a beautiful world!     ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lynn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 4:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree that TECHNOLOGY will ruin us. In many ways it has. If the world was suppost to be so easy it would have been. They try to make virtual world better than real life. Thus making it were kids now no longer want to go out and play. They rather play video games and ruin they're eyes.<br><br>People who think its stupid to blame TECHNOLOGY are victoms of its grasp. They dont realize how addicted they really are. Rather than going out to a store to buy a new tv they feel the need to flop they're big asses down on a computer chair and click on ebay in their favorites.<br><br>We were built for labor which is proven everyday when we have obess kids entering a hospital for treatment.<br><br>I believe we have good use for our HI-tech stuff but its getting really pathetic.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ashley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 5:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/04/12/are-your-gadgets-making-you-sick/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think electronics made they world better.
