Technology
Technology poses serious health risks that can even lead to death. Mobile phones emit radiation that has killed millions of birds and contains toxic chemicals that pollute the environment. Computers can cause neck, back, eye strain and carpal tunnel syndrome. WiFi routers emit electromagnetic fields linked to health issues. Medical technology causes over 400,000 medical mistakes annually and unnecessary treatments lead to over 100,000 deaths each year. Home electronics all emit electromagnetic fields that impact health, with high risk spots being air conditioners, microwaves, fluorescent lights and electric sockets. Technology is also negatively impacting youth by causing early dependence that replaces homework, family time and physical activity with excessive video game use.
