Book excerpt: [This is the new edition of Wireless Radiation Rescue.] This generation spends most of their time inside, on digital devices, immersed in harmful levels of wireless radiation. Many are tech-obsessed and disconnected - from themselves, each other and the natural world. Most parents and grandparents are unknowingly putting their children - born and unborn - at risk with the unsafe use of all things wired and wireless. We want our children to be tech-savvy, but we also want them healthy - they can be connected in this digital age in much safer ways - at home and at school. And many people are taking great care to age well but missing a key strategy - living in a safer-tech environment. Here's what all of us need to know: the research and recommendations with easy and affordable solutions from the world's leading experts: How to keep the convenience of digital and mobile devices and reduce the potential health hazards - at all stages of life: - Pregnancy and Parenting - from conception to college - and beyond require safer-tech solutions as never before, as the born and unborn are exposed to harmful - government-sanctioned - levels of radiation: wired and wireless; - The mindful use of technology so we don't become tech-obsessed with the latest on digital addiction and our digital detox program - discovering the delights of unplugging now and then and reconnecting with ourselves, each other and the natural world; - New discoveries for healthy aging in this digital age. Our international team of experts also offer in this guide: A summary of the science: A detailed survey to assess risks and symptoms Simple strategies targeting: sleep problems, dizziness, headaches, tingling in the hands, ringing in the ears, eye pain, bloodshot eyes, skin rashes, cardiac symptoms, electro-sensitivity, ADD/ADHD, autism. Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, MD offers his endorsement, "I highly recommend Dr. Crofton's ground-breaking book. It is well-researched and informative. Electro-pollution is the greatest medical threat of our time. These recommendations will benefit all." And leading epidemiologist and expert in this field, Devra Davis, PhD Nobel co-laureate and author of Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation says, "Signals from cell phones reach more deeply into children's thinner skulls and smaller brains. This book is a wake-up call with solutions." WE HUMANS, EACH WONDROUSLY UNIQUE and complex, have an inborn healthiness that is based partially on all the electrical fields - within and around us - being in harmony. And, our heart and brain cells have their own delicate electrical integrity. Our modus operandi, our wellbeing, so to speak, relies on being attuned in this way. We are overwhelming this natural state with a new environmental health hazard - the smog of electro-pollution. The waves of microwave radiation - from mobile phones and all Wi-Fi devices - are powerful enough to blast data through concrete. Imagine how easily this radiation travels through us, and our vulnerable children. Good news: this is a wake-up call with easy-to-implement solutions. This wellness guide reveals how government-sanctioned levels of radiation, from all things wired and wireless, can be harmful to our health - and how to use all of these electronics more safely. Our medical team cautions about a range of potential side effects: exposure without symptoms (you don't feel anything but harm is still occurring, ) mild to moderate symptoms, and electro-sensitivity. And they offer: how to recognize and treat symptoms and how to age well: from conception to college - and beyond. For ourselves, our children, and grandchildren. Not just ours - everyone's. This is also available in an eBook - in all formats. Our website is: www.safertechsolutions.org

Book excerpt: 'This is the most important - and fascinating - book yet written about how the digital age will affect our world' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs From two leading thinkers, the widely anticipated book that describes a new, hugely connected world of the future, full of challenges and benefits which are ours to meet and harness. The New Digital Age is the product of an unparalleled collaboration: full of the brilliant insights of one of Silicon Valley's great innovators - what Bill Gates was to Microsoft and Steve Jobs was to Apple, Schmidt (along with Larry Page and Sergey Brin) was to Google - and the Director of Google Ideas, Jared Cohen, formerly an advisor to both Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. Never before has the future been so vividly and transparently imagined. From technologies that will change lives (information systems that greatly increase productivity, safety and our quality of life, thought-controlled motion technology that can revolutionise medical procedures, and near-perfect translation technology that allows us to have more diversified interactions) to our most important future considerations (curating our online identity and fighting those who would do harm with it) to the widespread political change that will transform the globe (through transformations in conflict, increasingly active and global citizenries, a new wave of cyber-terrorism and states operating simultaneously in the physical and virtual realms) to the ever present threats to our privacy and security, Schmidt and Cohen outline in great detail and scope all the promise and peril awaiting us in the coming decades. A breakthrough book - pragmatic, inspirational and totally fascinating. Whether a government, a business or an individual, we must understand technology if we want to understand the future. 'A brilliant guidebook for the next century . . . Schmidt and Cohen offer a dazzling glimpse into how the new digital revolution is changing our lives' Richard Branson

Download or read book Don t Unplug written by Chris Dancy and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chris Dancy, the world's most connected person, inspires readers with practical advice to live a happier and healthier life using technology In 2002, Chris Dancy was overweight, unemployed, and addicted to technology. He chain-smoked cigarettes, popped pills, and was angry and depressed. But when he discovered that his mother kept a record of almost every detail of his childhood, an idea began to form. Could knowing the status of every aspect of his body and how his lifestyle affected his health help him learn to take care of himself? By harnessing the story of his life, could he learn to harness his own bad habits? With a little tech know-how combined with a healthy dose of reality, every app, sensor, and data point in Dancy's life was turned upside down and examined. Now he's sharing what he knows. That knowledge includes the fact that changing the color of his credit card helps him to use it less often, and that nostalgia is a trigger for gratitude for him. A modern-day story of rebirth and redemption, Chris' wisdom and insight will show readers how to improve their lives by paying attention to the relationship between how we move, what we eat, who we spend time with, and how it all makes us feel. But Chris has done all the hard work: Don't Unplug shows us how we too can transform our lives.
