Warning! The Internet May Be Hazardous To Your Health
Ok, so yesterday we learned that laptops can cause infertility. Great. Well, just to add water to the half empty glass, here's some news from the WaPo about those nifty wireless gadgets you love to use.
" Are you a Blackberry addict? Do you find yourself zapping text messages and staying plugged in on your cell, computer and PDA at all hours? Experts are now advising that people unplug from the Internet and other technology devices. The Associated Press reported on the unplugging trend: "As technology's influence in the lives of young people becomes ever greater, a few teens and twentysomethings are unplugging -- getting away from the Internet and other high-tech gadgets, at least for a while. It's a backlash, experts say, to being hyper-accessible by e-mail, instant message, cell phone calls and text messages. People are spending more and more time in front of a computer screen or futzing with technological devices. Sometimes, they just need a timeout." "

Since laptops cause infertility, will "pro-lifers" push to have them banned?
