Cell phone zombies are everywhere. And they are winning! For now. Found in hundreds of clinical and military studies to inhibit the ability to concentrate, calculate and coordinate, cell phone transmissions disrupt cellular functioning, as well as the brain’s ability to remember and learn. With some 2 billion people currently using cell phones – including 500 million teens and children – epidemiological studies estimate the number of cell phone-induced eye and brain cancer will reach a half-million cases annually by 2010. Don’t become a cell phone zombie! Read more here.

Cell phone zombies are everywhere. And they are winning! For now. Found in hundreds of clinical and military studies to inhibit the ability to concentrate, calculate and coordinate, cell phone transmissions disrupt cellular functioning, as well as the brain's ability to remember and learn. With some 2 billion people currently using cell phones - including 500 million teens and children - epidemiological studies estimate the number of cell phone-induced eye and brain cancer will reach a half-million cases annually by 2010. Don't become a cell phone zombie!  -- Walk down virtually any metropolitan street, if you still dare, and you will discern with a jolt of alarm that no one around you is aware of each other's presence or their surroundings as they shuffle past with the shambling gait of automatons. Hearing blocked by blaring or blathering headsets, heads bent over cell phones, iPods, palm pilots, multimedia players, text messagers and other hypnotic gadgetry, these walking dead with their vacant stares are so far departed from the reality around them they don't even know they're gone.Cell phone zombies are proliferating everywhere. Spread by the most virulent contagion on Earth - the lust to own and continuously jack into wireless technology - addictive endorphin jolts sent by cell phones to the brain threaten agonizing withdrawal, even as their invisible emanations attack the frontal lobes, short-circuiting memory, awareness and cognitive thought. Succumbing to the identical marketing strategies marshaled by the same advertising agencies pushing tobacco onto children, hordes of cell phone zombies as young as four-years-old are replacing normal human relationships with the cold calculus of truncated text messages, while disturbing their sonic space and interrupting conversations with friends and spouses to jabber with ghosts who are not even present, even as they spread the blight of their second hand microwaves among the last pockets of cell phone resistance. (...) Still, innocent bystanders and drivers can be at grave risk from deranged zombies talking on their cell phones while operating heavy fast-moving vehicles.In cities that have not yet disarmed cell phone-brandishing drivers, the resulting daily carnage is as gory as any scene out of "Night Of The Living Dead". Except this mayhem is real. Stunned by an additional $4 billion a year in claims for drivers using cell phones, North American insurers discovered that juggling phones while driving is not causing a 600% increase in accidents. Other drivers busy shaving, applying makeup, tuning radios, taming pets, pouring coffee, eating meals, retrieving dropped cigarettes, talking to passengers or attempting complex sexual gymnastics are even more preoccupied. Cell phones are much worse than merely dangerous driving distractions. Tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy found that using a cellphone turns drivers into zombies, severely impairing their memories and reaction times by disrupting signals to and within their brains. Hands-free mobile phones cause even more crashes because they typically emit 10-times more brainwave interference than handheld units. Phoning from inside a car or truck is a bad call for everyone in the vehicle - especially children - because the surrounding steel structure amplifies cellphone emissions. The UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee reports, "using a mobile phone in a vehicle can accelerate radiation levels by up to 10-fold due to resonance effect." For all drivers dialing out, Swiss researchers have found "changes of brain function induced by pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic fields outlast the exposure period." University of Toronto investigators report that the heightened probability of cracking up your car persists for up to a half-hour after completing a call. That's comparable to the risk of crashing while driving dead drunk exclaims
