Technology is changing faster than we can keep up with.

While some advances are saving lives, other may be long­ term detriments to our health. In order for communication technology to enable smart devices to carry more information quickly, the bandwidth of electromagnetic radiation must increase. On one hand, we are being told by telecommunication companies the expansion from 4G to 5G is safe. On the other hand, research specialists say; not so fast - there are health consequences.
