I chose to focus on the topic of Dangers of
Everyday Technology. The reason I chose this is because I myself,
have dealt with pains in my ears from using a cellphone for a long period of
time, discomforting twinges in my pockets from my phone, and a sensitive blurred feeling from standing in front of the
microwave. Though I was aware that exposure to microwave radiation
would harm my body, I was completely oblivious to the notion
that "[the] radiation that heats food also creates free
radicals that can become carcinogenic, while the consumption of microwaved
foods [are] associated with short-term decreases in white blood
cells. Moreover, I was inattentive to knowing that cell phone radiation
can create "blood-brain barrier leakage, [as well as leakage in the]
brain, liver, and eye. " The FDA has been incompetent in the
problematic recognition of how food is being altered through microwave
radiation. Likewise, limited truthful research on the dangers of cellular use has yet to be publicly exposed, most being of bias
industrial views.
