What is Really Behind the Global Cellphonemania

[onawah]

A friend just sent me this link
http://wethepeoplegrassroots.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/what-is-really-behind-the-global-cellphonemania/
and though I've only taken a glance at it, she assures me there is much to peruse here, and some pretty deep rabbit holes, should one choose to jump in.

Hoping this is the right place to post it.

BTW, I really hate cell phone technology, ....:rant: :mmph: :mad2:
So please, have at it! :hungry: :tsk: :fencing: :blah: :argue:

that is one good argument. i am inclined to agree with it. i see people on their cell phones all the time. no matter where they are: in their car, in the store, on the 'pot', it's really irritating to be in the grocery store and hear someone behind you having a conversation, and i have never appreciated someone calling me while they use the toilet facilities. major automobile accidents happen everyday because someone is chatting or texting while they should be paying attention to the roads and other drivers. if this is true about the dipoles, then we should all consider leaving the cell where it belongs, with the thieves who created the idea and the mess.

Funny you mention that.
Cozy Powell was one of the best drummers in the genre of heavy metal.
He died while talking on a mobile phone on a motorway.

Wiki stated he was drinking and driving, without a seatbelt in the rain while talking to his GF at a 104 mph.
Can't blame just the phone on this one mate, a stupdified Id got him...

The entry is different than it used to be.
He was driving as you say, but it was when his girlfriend called him that he lost concentration and she heard the squeal of tyres, then a bang with the phone going dead.
They may have changed the entry for ''legal'' reasons.

cell phones are a product of the Reagan star wars defence satalite network, the soviet union fell and they needed a use for the 500 million they just spent on satalite system SDI, so now it's internet and phones using the once intended war network.
