I have just purchased a cordless phone to replace an old beater of a cord phone that I held onto for years. Suddenly I find myself questioning the effect of whatever is radiating from these wireless devices. (I am getting a little more safety conscious lately because my partner and I are expecting our first child in September.)

You wake up Christmas morning and scurry on down to the tree. You and your family find gifts galore under the tree. You experience the thrill and happiness of getting just what you wanted. Now you get to experience the dread that comes with trying to get what you wanted out of its package. Particularly if you find electronic gear or toys you are about to embark on one of the most frustrating aspects of the holidays - trying to get your stuff out of the clamshell or oyster packaging. Not only will it be a major chore to accomplish, getting the stuff free might be hazardous to your health.
