If one were to look back over the last 100 years they would see an alarming increase in mortality amongst human beings which closely correlates against the introduction and expansion of new technologies.
The incidence of cancer has increased exponentially beginning in the 1950s through today.
Microwave technology, as controversial all as it may be, is probably the number one technology responsible for the increased incidence of cancer amongst humans more than any other technology.
Study after study appear to constantly juggle results to favor one outcome versus another depending on who’s paying for the study–the cell phone developers or pharmaceutical companies or the medical industry. One study comes out stating that cell phones cause brain cancer, and a few weeks later, another study is published that refutes that very claim.
However, common sense and a little bit of research would allow you to see the same parallels that I see. That being, that technology is killing us slowly.
There are different forms of radiation all around us, everyday. Since the beginning of the last century when radio technology became prevalent, followed by television, followed by cellular, followed by wireless, and almost equal correlation between the increase in technology and human cancer is frightening.
Take the potato, put one in the microwave, and nuke it for five or 10 min. and see what happens. Is it not reasonable to speculate that the same microwave radiation waves are slowly cooking our bodies from the inside out?
Take those waves and combine them with everything else and all of a sudden you exponentially increase the radiation our bodies come in contact with everyday.
Since technology doesn’t develop itself, the title of this thread could possibly read “humans are killing themselves” instead, as we suffer the consequences of our own inventions.
Conversely, one could argue that the very same advances in technology are responsible for the increased life expectancy of humans particularly those that live in the United States. Life expectancies today exceed 75 years as opposed to a mere 65 years just 20 years ago.
Advances in medicine, safer consumer products, safer automobiles, all of which are getting better and better as technology advances.
So the same argument could be made that technology is also keeping us alive longer. But, are these advances merely keeping pace with the destruction that other technologies create on the human body?
Perhaps those who choose to wear tinfoil caps are not that crazy after all.
