Regardless of what others think I believe that it _has_ been proven that
mobile phones have an effect on our brains. Until recently, only the
effects of thermal energy on the brain was tested and this has proved to
be negliable. But a recent study (in the uk i think) found that mobile
phone emmissions actually caused an increase in 'reaction times', of
students in a control group, who were performing simple tasks on a
computer screen. While this may be seen as a 'good' effect, it does
prove that mobile phone emmissions have a biological effect on our
brains and this is a bad thing when we don't know exactly what this
biological effect is.

I saw a doco on this subject recently on the abc ( lateline/panorama ?).
The major manufacturers commisioned the study above, but were reluctant
to publicise the results even though they were 'good' (increased
reaction speeds). This is because they do not want the public to know
that mobile phones have a definite but unkown biological effect on the
human brain.
