Calls for a smartphone free childhood, and no mobiles in UK schools, has been quite a theme this year. The campaigns focus on mental health and addiction of course, but provide a fair wind for gradually raising awareness of the radiation dangers as well. Under ‘Health and Research’ below we have new articles on the topic of smartphones and children.
From Tim Arnolds substack: “A Parent Pact has gathered signatures representing 72,697 children across over 9,602 schools who advocate for smartphone-free schooling. Spearheaded by the Smartphone-Free Childhood movement and based on the original pact by Hannah Oertel’s Delay Smartphones group, this initiative is a testament to where our digital norms are heading.“

Data Centers in Ireland Overtake All Urban Electricity Use Combined
As the market demand for this new ‘fast and effective’ communication technology is expected to expand exponentially in the near future, we face a very realistic question: “Where are we going to generate all of this energy simply to transport and store data?” 5G and the fast connectivity technologies are promoted as more efficient and energy saving. But how environmentally friendly will this be with exponentially increasing and widespread use?

Hypothesis on how to measure electromagnetic hypersensitivity
As a thought experiment: if you could buy a house next to a new 4G/5G mast or on a site with no mast nearby, which would you choose ?
Typically people take the precautionary approach …
Occasionally someone with skin in the economic ‘imperative’ of a ‘smart society’ will choose the one with a mast, maybe to make a point ;))
