I've done that for years, and it doesn't do a thing to me.
Now, what do I usually have under the pillow... snacks, knives, a watch, nunchakus, and spare networking parts (and whatever cables happen to spill over on to my bed). Yeah, I do tend to be a little paranoid.  |
the idea is that it might affect you 50-70 years down the line.
That's why there is no "conclusive studies" yet because these new newfangled gadgets haven't been around long enough to conduct long term studies.
to give an analogy (albit of a bit extreme one) is like to say that I've been smoking for 6 of my last 22 years (the age listen in your profile) and I don't have lung cancer yet!
I personally
do think that it is a very possible threat, but obviously the convenience of having a cell phone always in my pocket, and the requirement for all papers to be typed up outweigh the risk down the line (or do they?).
hmm, I wonder if I could type-write all my essays and say that it's for health purposes
