The document discusses concerns about the health effects of technology like mobile phones and wireless networks. It notes that while companies claim these technologies are safe, scientists recommend limiting exposure and many believe they can cause harm like cancer over long periods of time. It also draws parallels to past products like smoking and asbestos that were initially deemed safe but later found to cause serious illness. The document advises limiting technology use, especially for mobile phones and in bedrooms, and provides a website for more information on protecting oneself from these potential dangers.

3. Cyborgs anthropologists and the case, say that today, most people are like cyborgs.
She says that although we are humans, we are also part machines. We are part machine, because we rely on
technology so much. So, if we are cyborgs? what is that machine that has human abilities and features, a robot?
Robots, or robotic machines, build and dissemble things in factories. They are digitally programmed to do specific jobs
like putting together the parts of a car. these robots do the same task over and over again. They can do jobs that
humans used to do, but they are not like humans at all. They are just very fancy tools. However, scientists are making
new kinds of robots. These robots are programmed to act like humans.
Some even look like humans they can communicate with us and do many different tasks. The purpose of some of
these robots is to take over human jobs in our homes, schools, and at work. For example, there are robots that can
babysit, take care of old people and take and deliver food orders.
Someday robots may even be able to cook a meal and fold our laundry. These robots do not fit the definition of the
calm technology Ander talks about. Instead of working quietly in the background, these human like robots will
contatly be around us.
Will the jobs these robots do improve our lives? Will they constant interuption to our prvate lifes be worth it. Will may
have to try living with one before we know for sure.

22. I have believed for a while that mobiles, mobile phone masts and another technology is harmful to our health, due to the exposure of radiation. Scientists at the
very least think mobile phones should be used as little as possible. They think it is better to be cautious about using mobiles and a lot of scientists believe they
are harmful to your health. Mobile phones are particularly bad for children. The phone companies will tell you that they are safe. But remember they are selling a
product so they are hardly going to put you off buying their product by telling you it is unsafe. Where there is a lot of money involved there tends to be corruption.
So don't think that they or the government, who get a tax of the money from the use of masts and mobile phones that are put up, have your best interests in
mind.
After all people said that smoking, asbestos, a medication called Thalidomide, pesticides and so on were either safe or wouldn't cause you serious harm.
However they were wrong as they caused cancer, disability and terrible illnesses.
I think technology will be to the next generation what drink, smoking and drugs have been to previous generations. In fact research claims mobile phones could
kill more people than smoking.
Wireless (wi-fi) can cause headaches, nausea, tiredness and memory loss in some people. Technology can be particularly hazardous if you are sensitive to it. We
have so much technology now there is 24 hour television, computers, Nintendo games, phones and so on. It is not just mobiles but Dect phones (cordless) too and
on top of all this there is wireless as well.
Electrical gadgets in the bedroom can also cause sleep problems. It is best to have no electronic items in your bedroom. But if you can't do without them at least
make sure you don't have a computer, cordless phone or mobile in your bedroom or at least make sure that are turned off. Cordless phones emit a high amount
of radiation this is because they have to be on all the time so that the phone can be charged up. If you didn't do this the phone wouldn't work. So keep your
technology use to a limited amount of time each day. Particularly keep your use of mobile phones to a minimum and use a landline instead, because mobile phones
can cause cancerous brain tumours if they are used for a long period of time over the years.
Always remember that your health is very important as you might find you are unable to return to good health once you have lost it.
