    We have all been told to not keep the cell phones on ear while talking and to use a wifi device of some sort. France has recently banned the iPhone 12 because of the high levels of radiation. Do you have an iPhone 12?

    Users concerned about adverse health effects may not need to worry too
    much. The French digital minister claims that while the iPhone 12’s radiation levels exceed allowable standards, the emission is still considerably below the threshold scientists generally believe threatens human health.


    I use an android, no iPhone for me. Radiation is kind of scary, isn't it?

    Samsung phone (Android), but what's the point of a phone if you shouldn't hold it to your ear? It would be a communicator then wouldn't it?

    Now in some Star Trek episodes they used to just tap the badge on their shirts, what about that? Lol

    Lol....that was a cool way to get "beamed" anywhere or to communicate in STNG and beyond. Star Trek was always ahead/forward thinking of some of the modern technologies we have today. My daughter has the M3P communicator sound on her phone....lol. We're not Star Trek fans at all. On my Galaxy watch I can answer the phone with it and talk to someone....very teckie. I usually don't though, a little Mr. Gadget and awkward....
