Uh-oh

So my family just got DSL today, and man, it's fast. We've had dial-up since... 1994. This is a huge change; I mean, we can be online and talk on the phone at the same time. Will wonders never cease?

But, as I was reveling in the speediness and portability of this wireless connection, I got to thinking. Is this whole wireless thing safe? Right now, as I type, there is digitized information being beamed about the house, just searching for something with which to connect. It's probably passing through my brain. That just...doesn't seem like a good thing. Have there ever been any tests conducted focusing on physiological changes due to prolonged exposure? Will I be able to have children after using this product? Will I remember where I put my shoes in the morning (before tripping on them and falling flat on my face?).

Seriously, though, the technological aspect of our society has changed so rapidly that I sincerely doubt the thoroughness of investigations that have been conducted concerning safety issues. Let's be honest here - in the face of the dollar (even as depreciated as it is in today's market), nothing is going to stand in the way of technological progress. Even if that means the health of millions is at stake.

Of course, when all of this is said and don- Ooo! This faster internet is so shiny...!
