Bluetooth

I’m back again with some Bluetooth information. But before I get into the exciting information I've found, I want to throw out a thought and answer some of the question people posted in their comments. As I look through the thousands of hits I get on Google and realize how much information is out there, I am thinking understanding where and how to find accurate and reliable information is just as important as learning basic skills like reading, writing, mathematics, etc. It seems like its a skill that I need to work on but that is important for anyone looking for information in today's world. There is just so much out there and its hard to know what to believe sometimes. Ok, so I am so excited I have some comments, it is great to hear what other people are thinking and what questions they have. So I found a US government website (so I trust the information enough) by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) about radiation. It mostly talks about exposure to large amounts of radiation at one time, but not about prolonged exposure to radiation. Here's a report about research on radio waves with links to reports and it talks about exposure limits set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). It is all interesting stuff, they say that research shows when exposure is within the ICNIRP limits human health is not compromised. Here's where you can read about the guidelines. So I guess as long as a cell phone or a bluetooth doesn't go above those limits you will be ok? I dont' know, exposure for a long period of time at low levels might be just as bad to exposure at high levels.

Ok, back to the Bluetooth info. Once again I went to Google to search out some info. I simply searched Bluetooth cancer. I found an older news story about the FDA going to revisit the cell phone and cancer issue and some info about cell phone safety and the Bluetooth. I also found a blog by Dr. Aurelie Laurence, who is a Certified Quantum Biofeedback Specialist. Not sure what that is, but looking into it I found it has something to do with your body’s energy. This person evidently believes that cell phones are dangerous.

Looking more I found some forums where people had asked a similar question to mine about the cell phone and considering the Bluetooth as an alternative. Here’s what I found:

I guess some people think the whole cell phone and cancer thing is hokey while others think there is some credit to it all. Wow, some people have strong opinions about this. They also provide links out to things they have seen and read. That can be helpful as long as the links still work. I guess things change quite a bit in the technological arena. Not all information stays up on the Internet. Isn’t there someone who archives the entire Internet? Wait, that’s a question for another post. Looks like there is still enough back and forth on the health issues and benefits for cell phones and Bluetooth, that I can’t say that either one is truly good or bad.
There are some companies, like the ones who made the cell phone popcorn video, who believe the Bluetooth has benefits.

And of course, I couldn’t help myself from looking at Wikipedia for some reading and possible leads.
Mobile phone impacts
Looks like Verizon has done some looking at what the company can do to make the phones better for your health. But this article doesn't say much about that work, just mentions it.
Bluetooth
This article talks some about companies that use bluetooth (Apple and Microsoft). It will be interesting to see if bluetooth becomes more important to companies.
