Wearable Gadgets - A Risk

Fond of flaunting yourself by wearing gadgets, Right ? Of course yes, me too is like that only. Everyone likes to see cool and advanced and trendy in today's time. But would you compromise with your health for that ? I guess NO.

Let me tell you a fact -
If you had been sleeping by putting your mobile phone underneath or near your pillow for nearly 2 years, there are 87% chances that you might develop a brain tumor.  Shocked ?

This is because of the radio-active radiations that are being released from our gadgets. Now think of it like this :

You are wearing a smart watch on your wrist, lets say about 12 hours a day on an average till when you are outside home. So, this will make up to a total of 4380 hours a year (365 x 12 = 4380). Now suppose, the gadget is burning 0.001% of your skin per hour i.e. at a very low rate. According to this, your 4% (approx.) skin will burn in a year. By these calculations, your 100% skin over the wrist area will be burnt in 25 years.
  Now think.!! Isn't that something to worry about ?
Google glasses, smart watches , bluetooth handsets and now tech shoes - all these fall under the category of wearable technology. Although the good news is that these latest wearable gadgets use and emit very low RF (Radio Frequency) so are less harmful (but still harmful to some extent).

Actually these gadgets use web(internet services) all the time for their up to date working. We know that all these wireless systems work on frequencies. Excess of everything is bad. So excess use of frequencies is obviously bad when they come in contact with the human skin. These frequencies are radioactive in nature. They react with our cells and nervous system(more specifically neurons) thus leading to negative impact on our health.


So, its not false to say that every thing comes with two sides - positive and negative. Its upto us to what extent we use our wearable gadgets without harming ourselves and flaunting side by side.
