Speakeasy-
Because cel phones are constantly pinging. They send out signals even when the screen isn't on. They are constantly checking to see if any thing is new.
Avoid putting them to your head for long periods of time.
I saw this earlier today as well.
The cellphone thing is so new, that we don't really know the long term effects of it.
The fact that these girls were able to show how powerful it is with such a simple experiment is proof of how dangerous they might actually be.
Of course, phone companies don't want you to know about it.
Truth is that the experiment is so simple, and you can you easily get those plants, that if you don't believe them, you can go and do the experiment for yourself.
I just have a hard time believing that if this was true, nobody would've discovered this prior to these teenage girls. I don't mean phone companies. There are many scientist and researchers out there that I'm sure would've been waving the red flag by now. It's like you have some people running around claiming microwave ovens leave your food radioactive. If that were true we'd know about it. Someone would've presented some case-closed evidence in all these years. Some grad student looking for his PhD dissertation...anyone.
I could end up being wrong but my guess is that this is just the media trying to hype up the accomplishments of women in science and technology by presenting every one of their "findings" as something significant. Hardly a month goes by that I don't see some article about a 13 year old girl on the cusp of inventing a cold fusion generator or something.
