Discussions about the eDGe aren't out of place on a forum for the eDGe. This thread began as a simple question asked out of curiosity, not fear or paranoia. I asked because I was CURIOUS how the eDGe’s emissions compared to those of a cell phone. The question was answered simply. End of discussion.

The conversation then went off on a tangent with talk of WiFi radiation, but that’s still relevant to a device that relies on WiFi to function fully. The discussion didn’t go completely off topic until the use of BPAs and other carcinogens was equated with using cell phones and other mobile devices. I think that’s silly, but that’s because (perhaps irrationally) I think the study in question came to the right conclusion even if it was methodologically flawed. I love my cell phone and my eDGe and I’m not giving up either one—though I might give up WiFi for 4G. J The neurosurgeons in alefor’s anecdote may be biased, but they’re also cautious, which isn’t unreasonable under the circumstances.

I prefer to think that when each person asked a question that took us off on a tangent, they asked because they genuinely wanted to know the answer. Some questions may have been meant to mock, but all in fun, even if in jest. That’s how adults discuss things. But what shouldn’t belong here, or anywhere for that matter, is being comfortable with telling people they can’t ask questions.
