How your life could be the death of you
The technology around us makes everything fast, convenient, and simple. But it comes pre-packaged with dangers to your health, says Lucy Sherriff
Wednesday 12 January 2005
Technology has changed our lives in so many ways, most of which we hardly notice. Imagine a world without e-mail. Think about what a pain it would be if you suddenly had your mobile-phone privileges revoked. Try to picture life without the microchip; houses without central heating; a world without telephones. Where would we be without plumbing or freezers?
Technology has changed our lives in so many ways, most of which we hardly notice. Imagine a world without e-mail. Think about what a pain it would be if you suddenly had your mobile-phone privileges revoked. Try to picture life without the microchip; houses without central heating; a world without telephones. Where would we be without plumbing or freezers?
But for all the benefits, emerging technologies are often opposed by society. During the Industrial Revolution there was widespread fear about machines doing away with people's livelihoods - at one point in 1812, more British troops were deployed against the Luddite rebellion against the industrial loom than were opposing Napoleon's pan-European rampage.
Now we are in the middle of another technology explosion. This time, we're worried about how technology affects our bodies. We worry about radiation from mobile phones; about the kinds of content we might encounter online; and about the damage being done to our children by all of the above. Fifteen years ago it was radiation leaking from our nasty VDUs. But perhaps we aren't worried enough. Is today's ubiquitous technology bad for you? Can it, in fact, erase you from existence before you're even conceived...
Research published in December last year suggests that the heat from laptops can do permanent damage to a man's fertility. A pilot study of 29 men in the US found that heat from the processor can cause the temperature of the testes to rise almost three degrees: more than enough to fatally damage sperm. Compounding the heating effect of your snazzy new notebook, of course, is that you will tend to sit with your legs closer together when balancing it on your knees. This, the researchers say, traps the testes, causing them to heat even further.
Scientists at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where the research was carried out, think that, much like a hot bath, the effect is temporary. They point out that the population of Silicon Valley seems unaffected.
Don't think you can relax once you make it to the womb. Should you narrowly escape being eliminated by a laptop while the potential you is still separate sperm and egg cells, you could easily be fried by radio-frequency radiation while you are busily dividing your cells and growing at a quite alarming rate.
This kind of non-ionising radiation - that is, not the Sellafield kind - is emitted by mobile phones, phone masts, microwave ovens and televisions. Lower frequencies are generated by high-voltage power lines, or badly wired homes. The National Radiological Protection Board says that children and the elderly are more sensitive to these fields, and recommends limiting exposure. And more recently, research funded by the European Union showed that radiation from mobile phones can actually alter DNA.
While there was no evidence that the changes to DNA led to diseases, the researchers still recommend using landlines instead of mobile phones. So while you are a developing foetus, you had better hope your mum-to-be isn't chatting to her mum for too long on her mobile phone.
Assuming that by some miracle you survive this technological onslaught, you will be born. That's when your troubles with technology really begin.
Exposure to magnetic fields is anecdotally linked with childhood leukaemia in Canada, the US and Sweden. In early 2004 the UK's National Radioloigcal Protection Board said that increases in cancer rates had been found in areas where exposure was well within international guidelines. In areas with particularly strong magnetic fields, the risk of childhood leukaemia was doubled.
Surely schools will be safe? Perhaps not. In November, a judge ruled that there was no reason for the next-generation mobile-phone masts not to be erected near schools, despite government advice to limit childhood exposure.
School trips are not safe, either. Hi-tech public lavatories can trap people for hours at a time. A 10-year-old in Plymouth had to be freed from the loo by the fire brigade, last April, after the doors wouldn't open. He was too light to alert the weight-sensitive detectors to his presence.
As you mature, you will be allowed access to the internet, and will almost certainly be given a games console of some kind. The biggest danger this kind of technology poses is that you might use it too much. In 2001, the British Medical Journal reported that more than one in five of Britain's under-fours was classed as overweight, and one in 10 was clinically obese. Researchers from the University of Leeds found similar figures for 11-year-olds.
Obesity can lead to diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, hypertension and stroke. It is linked with a host of cancers, including breast cancer and cancer of the oesophagus. It is also reported to be a risk factor for hepatitis and other liver disease.
Although much of the blame for this can be attributed to changes in our eating patterns, a more sedentary lifestyle is another big factor, and technology is what has given us all the opportunity to spend more time sitting down.
American research attributes more than half the weight gain to "declining physical activity from technological changes", which means your kids are fat because they're e-mailing their friends pictures of footballers rather than playing football with their friends outside.
Of course the biggest single question about health and technology is whether mobile phones will give you cancer. The amount of research is this area is staggering: in June a Hungarian study found that men who keep a mobile phone in their pockets have reduced their sperm count by 30 per cent; and in October, research from Sweden found that mobile-phone users were twice as likely to develop a particular kind of benign tumour. But for every study that indicates damage, there is another that says the phones are perfectly safe.
The Stewart report, published in the UK a year ago, reviewed all the evidence and concluded that it couldn't draw any conclusions about the dangers of phone radiation. Instead it recommended that the public take a precautionary approach.
Even if you manage not to develop a tumour, mobile phones can still kill you in unexpected ways. Using a mobile phone is as dangerous as drink-driving. Driving while using a hands-free mobile increases your chance of crashing by four times - the same as drink-driving.
If you make it to the office without a mobile-related car accident, using a computer at work will cause you plenty of additional problems. Touch-typing can cause repetitive-strain injury, sitting hunched over your desk will give you backache, eating lunch at your desk makes your workplace more germ-riddled than a lavatory seat. Research from Japan suggests that staring at computer screens for hours on end can contribute to the onset of glaucoma, a progressive disease that gradually damages the optic nerve, eventually causing blindness. And so the list goes on.
Is it any wonder, then, that technology has been blamed for rising stress levels? Spend even the tiniest fraction of time on the internet and you will find yourself under siege. Spam, viruses and straightforward network crashes will all conspire to send your blood pressure spiralling. In Spain, people are paying for so-called "damage therapy", where, for a fee, they are allowed to take a hammer to technology and vent all their frustration.
If you survive all that, and you still want to use a computer, you still need to be careful. In 2002 a 50-year-old man suffered severe burns to his penis after using a laptop for an hour. A letter describing the incident was published in the medical journal The Lancet.
But despite all this, technology is far from a blight on modern life. E-mail allows us to keep in touch with loved ones, and conduct business on a global scale. It brings almost everyone within our reach and is a great leveller - even Bill Gates gets spam, after all.
So as you enter your autumn years, you will probably look back at this technology revolution and wonder what all the fuss was about. You will have far more pressing concerns: the new-fangled teleporters are, frankly, a bit suspicious, and someone at the club mentioned that those self-driving car-planes have been going wonky and crashing again.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Chace Going For The Gold
by Paul on 01/06/06 at 08:31 PM ET
Comments (0)
Taylor Chace had a different kind of dream before Oct. 6, 2002. Since the age of 4 his dream was to play hockey professionally. That dream ended when got checked into the boards during a Junior Monarchs game in Ontario, Canada, and suffered a spinal cord injury. It didn't stop Chace from dreaming again. Tom Carr, of Northeast Passage at the University of New Hampshire, got Chace into sled hockey, a very fast growing sport, in 2004. "He got me going and gave me the confidence to go out and try it," says Chace.read on

Sitting quietly in his room in an old people's home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesn't want to begin: his 100th birthday party. Escaping through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, Allan makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several deaths, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent but very human police. As his escapades unfold, Allan's earlier life is revealed, and we discover that he played a key role behind the scenes in some of the momentous events of the 20th century.
This 'imaginative, laugh-out-loud bestseller' (Daily Telegraph) has sold more than two million printed copies.
©2009 Jonas Jonasson (P)2012 Strathmore Publishing Ltd
"Like Forrest Gump, Allan is an innocent with the knack of being in the right place at the right time. He has had a hand in everything from the Russian revolution to Reagan's Star Wars. Like Allan, the plot is pleasingly nimble and the book's endearing charm offers a happy alternative to the more familiar Nordic noir." (The Guardian)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Made me laugh"
although slow to start - this book creeps up on you and becomes absorbing mand made me laugh out loud
Allan with his laid back attitude, was undoubtedly my favourite character
A light hearted book - Written tongue in cheek - made me laugh out loud
"Oblique and witty but declines badly"
This is both a crime caper and a comic round-the-world romp. It tells the story of a man's life from 1905 to 2005 and beyond and at the same time gives a clever, witty (and often ridiculous) angle on various historical events. The man's story, and the manner of the telling, are also clever, witty (and often ridiculous).
I agree with those who compared it with Forrest Gump and Any Human Heart (I would add New Confessions, also by William Boyd). At its best this one is as good as William Boyd though Boyd's novels are consistently enthralling to the end and generally plausible, unlike this. (Sorry, I can't agree with those who thought the story was plausible - it obeys the laws of physics and is reasonably faithful to the laws of human behaviour but overall it comes across as neither plausible nor intended to be).
If you have read other reviews, you will have seen that the book contains two interleaved stories: Allan's life up to age 100 and Allen's life starting on his 100th birthday. I prefer to make a further division and I will use this to explain my mixed views of the book:
1. The story up to his 100th birthday I found interesting. It seems to be well researched into 20th century history and shows an oblique and irreverent view of international affairs. This is where the writing is at its wittiest. I loved the joke about Nixon though unfortunately the author seems to have worried it might be too subtle and went on to explain it.
2. The story from Allan's 100th birthday until about a week later, I found entertaining both in the events and the writing style. There is a refreshing childish logic in the explanations and in the frequent unexpected turns of events. It didn't make me laugh but it made me smile many times.
3. For me the book peaked with the event which, to avoid spoilers, I will call "sit and don't sit". After that it became too ridiculous for my taste. The next major plot twist was of "fairy-godmother arrived and they all lived happily ever after" proportions and from that moment to the end I couldn't get interested in the people or what happened to them. The problem was perhaps that the story accelerated as it proceeded. Early on, circumstances developed slowly, allowing time to savour their delicious peculiarities and that is where I most enjoyed the reading.
Overall, it had an original, refreshing feel and I would have given a stronger recommendation but for the last quarter
"Loved it"
I really enjoyed this book, I loved the comedy but also the historical tales, different from my usual reads but it was very good
"Light, Surprising, hilarious..."
One of the best
The sometimes wonderful stupidity of the events but so light and subtile, they were adorable anyway.
The 100 year old man.
There were many moments. But each time Alan came across a President it was a great moment.
Fantastic book.
"Great story"
Recommended. Grows on you throughout the book. An evergreen. Funny from time to time, but over all a pleasant flow.
"A Swedish Forest Gump"
As my review title says, this is a sort of Swedish Forest Gump. The protagonist is a man who is remarkably ignorant in many ways but who has a very down to earth common sense that serves him well. He manages to impact upon history to such an extent that we are to believe that the modern world would not have happened without him.
It's very funny in parts and takes a lot of unexpected twists. So many twists, that at times you can get a bit lost. But it's well worth listening to. The narrator is absolutely excellent and manages to distinguish between the characters effortlessly.
"A laugh a minute"
Completely funny story. Read really well. Captivating- I couldn't stop listening. I'd love to have meet Allan. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
"Great fun, epicly ridiculous."
A story not dissimilar to Forrest Gump. laced with black humour, lots of vodka and a world trip thru inadvertant political peacemaking.
"Lovely tale!"
Some very touching and laugh out loud moments in a tale that takes you from the present into historical events that allows your imagination to mix with reality!
"One of my favourite books."
One of the best books even better as an audio book given the different languages.

So how does the new game stack up versus its predecessor? After about an hour and several levels of play, here's my take:

Feeling a sense of peace and freedom…
It's over. And I'm done.
Okay….I don't post to twitter anymore…so please tell me…who the hell keeps viewing my blog from twitter? There's nothing relevant here. Nothing that should draw anyone in. It's just me venting and being stupid. It's me breaking down and being sad…so who are you?
It sucks
To go from feeling like you are someone to feeling like you are no one.
I need to fix how I feel
Feeling oddly empty and absent right now.
Big Change
It's time for some major changes. Last month I put my house on the market. The other day I got an offer that doesn't seem logical to refuse. But I have about 60 days to find somewhere else to live. I have to figure out how to keep my boys in the same schools — which means getting them to and back each day. I have to figure out whether I can buy another house or whether I need to stick to my original plan (slightly modified) which means renting out until the end of next June. I don't know if I can actually pull off buying a new house…at least not until next year. I'll definitely have the money, but it comes down to whether my credit has been restored enough after the divorce to do so. I need this change, I need to get out of this house, out of the home I shared with my ex and out of something that has no appeal to me.
I'm scared. I've been here 22 years. But it is time.
And it is time for another big change. It's time to give up. Let go.
Sunday night after our workout I hugged her goodbye. I started crying, not because I was going to be gone for a week and I was going to miss her…even if that is true. I started crying because I can't help it anymore. Everyday the stress gets to me a little more. Every day I say to myself…just one more day. I can hold on for one more day. When I am with her everything feels good, I feel good. But I do not have her heart, at least not the way I want it, and it makes me cry. And maybe I'm holding on to something that will never be. Maybe I want too much. But I am vested in her. I have given her my heart and I don't know how to get it back…or even if I really want it back. But this hurts, it hurts on a level I have never felt before, and I want the pain to go away. But every time she touches me, every time she smiles at me, it eases that same pain, even more so when she says she loves me.
I just don't want the Roach around. Every time I see a text flash across her phone from him, I flinch. Every snapchat she gets, I flinch. I don't know what she wants from me, or why she holds on to me and won't let me go…and even if she did, I don't know that I could go.
Even now…I just want her in my arms. I just want her with me. But I didn't push it when I should have…I didn't stick to my ultimatums and now I am probably weak in her eyes, less a man.
I am sad almost every day. But I feel like I would be worse without her than with.
I don't know what to do…
And so I go on another day, another moment, waiting for her text, her call, her visit.
I am down. I can't seem to get out of this funk. Even my workouts aren't helping. I'm down and I don't know how to get out.

Sydneysiders - how are you preparing for the rain and winds predicted from midnight. DH has been clearing gutters and placing anything that could fly away in as safe place as he can. We live western Sydney (but not as far as Penrith).
It has been raining all day but not to heavily.
Good luck all in Sydney and of course anyone in NSW and QLD affected by this weather.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:29 PM
My prep involves avoidance, denial with a little bit of crapping myself thrown in for good measure!
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:36 PM
We have brought in all our outdoor furniture and small pot plants......
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:36 PM
Keeping a torch and chocolate next to my bed in case of having to move to a safe spot in the middle of the night, away from windows.
The wind is already shaking my windows
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:37 PM
I am in Newcastle/hunter valley area so 2 hrs nth of sydney but its been raining heavy all day and parts of newcastle are already flooded and the wind has just picked up.
There isn't much we can do around the house to prepare we have torches and candles in case of a blackout and mobile phones fully charged in case we need to call someone and there's a blackout.
But other then that we are just waiting for the rain and wind to pass.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:38 PM
South Sydney here.
We put the new outdoor furniture indoors, and I made sure we could open the back garage door so we can slip in and open the roller door manually if we lose power.
Learned this the hard way a few years ago when I'd pulled the car in so far we couldn't open the normal back garage door as it smacked into the car. DH missed a really important meeting as we couldn't get the cars out.
More worried about all the trees around our property. Lots of old gum trees.
The end of our road was already flooded at noon today.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:47 PM
Keeping the dog inside and hoping the completely dead and ring barked tree that the owner won't remove stays upright
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:51 PM
Hills district here. Just moved outdoor furniture inside and dropped the net down on the trampoline. Also have my phone charging and a torch ready in case of blackout. Don't think I am at risk of flooding, would only be wind damage and issues getting to work in the morning.
Sadly I don't expect others to fair so well.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:52 PM
In Newcastle here also- had a baby due last Thursday who still hasn't arrived so our storm plan is to keep legs crossed in order to avoid having to go out in this weather!
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:07 PM
I found a candle.... I'm not overly concerned.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:11 PM
mady707 I hope your baby stays put for a little longer then.
Stay safe everyone else, we still have awful wind gusts on the far north coast.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:13 PM
Checked that our insurance was current, called the SES about the tree in our back yard that is half dead and could wipe out several houses (they can't do anything now), charged the emergency torch and got out the candles and matches.
Not sure what to do about the trampoline! But we lose power almost every month anyway, so that's practically an inevitability.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:23 PM
Im in Newcastle as well. I am not ok with wind and also crapping myself just a little This weather takes me back to the June long weekend…lets hope it doesn't become that bad.
We have moved trampoline and pot plants. Not much else we can do except get under the covers with earplugs.
Stay safe everyone

Hoping to god my husband who is coming in from Melbourne makes it, he was supposed to be working in Brisbane and went up there yesterday only to have the venue cancel...he joined his boss in Melbourne this morning and now has been delayed for hours...on the plane and going nowhere...
Been by myself with two kids under 3 for two days in pouring rain...not fun. Rant over, I've moved our outdoor gear under cover, I'm in bondi on the penninsula so it's really wild here, but no chance of flooding. Mobile is charged, torch by my bedside, spare keys and kids baby albums by my head.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:37 PM
I've taken the gazebo shade off and pulled the shade sail down in the backyard.
We're up on a hill so we usually get hammered by winds anyway, if there's any flooding it will be down the road. There are no large trees around here so don't have to worry about that.
I really should've dismantled the gazebo frame, it's pegged down really well and I'm hoping the wind will just blow through it. I think I might take it down.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:48 PM
We already have water in our garage the garden is underwater. The bio septic system was bubbling !!! so I pulled the tubing to help pump the water out.
The creek is rising but we should be ok...
Lets hope the winds are kind to us overnight. It's our bin day tomorrow so I'm setting my alarm early to put them out in the morning, the rest of the street have put out the bins but if we get the bad winds they'll all be knocked over!
Tomorrow is my first day at work Thank goodness DH is home for a change.

Well I am on the mid north coast and we are through the worst of it but there is flooding around here and stormwater drains representing geysers.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 08:43 PM
I'm not sure if it's expected to come this way, but I've lugged the rabbit indoors, hutch and all. She's looking a bit confused by it, but I'd rather a confused bunny than a soggy (or blown-away) one.

I'm worried about the giant gum tree in our backyard that dropped a limb last year. It could crush our house. Please stay put big tree.
We have leaking windows in our kitchen and once before in a big downpour it actually flooded our kitchen and ruined our appliances - so yes, another big concern.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 09:59 PM
Nope I tell a lie - winds are very strong and trees are just about bent horizontal. It is going to be a long night.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 10:05 PM
We're in a small valley in northern Sydney and I'm hoping that we don't get the heavy winds.
I'm also hoping that the rain doesn't get to the point that the drain at the back of the house overflows and we end up with a waterfrontage between us and the park next door
Posted 28 January 2013 - 10:23 PM
I've pulled a torch and a lantern out of the cupboard. It hasn't stopped raining all day but there is very little wind.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 10:34 PM
Seems just like a mild drizzle here in Hornsby region.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 05:05 AM
Water is seeping out our garage but the rain has eased. Thank goodness we didn't get any wind.
I woke up early to put bins out, it's going to be a long day on my first day of work
Posted 29 January 2013 - 05:42 AM
Did the beach suburbs get the brunt because the Hills district certainly missed it Heavy rain all night but not much wind. I work at the airport however so I am expecting a LONG drive to work... (well longer than usual!)

Officials said on Monday NATO leaders will respond to the Ukraine crisis by agreeing this week to create a "spearhead" rapid reaction force, potentially including several thousand troops, that could be sent to a hotspot in as little as two days. The 28-nation alliance already has a rapid reaction force but U.S. President Barack Obama and other leaders meeting for a NATO summit in Wales on Thursday and Friday are expected to create a new force that would be able to respond more quickly to a crisis.

Snoop Dogg has had another run-in with European authorities. Italian financial police said they stopped the rapper at the Lamezia Terme airport in Calabria on Saturday with $422,000 in cash, well above the limit that can legally be transported across EU borders undeclared. The incident comes less than a week after Snoop Dogg was briefly stopped in Sweden on suspicion of drug use after a concert near Stockholm. Last weekend in Sweden, the rapper was questioned and tested for suspected drug use north of the capital.
Bobbi Kristina 's funeral was interrupted Saturday morning by an outburst from Leolah Brown, Bobbi's aunt, who was swiftly removed from the church with the help of Tyler Perry. An eyewitness tells TMZ, Pat Houston was getting ready to speak when Leolah began screaming, "Pat you know you are wrong for this!" We're told security descended on Leolah and escorted her out. Tyler Perry followed to help diffuse the situation. As we reported, the Browns and Houstons are feuding again.

The 53-year-old former maths teacher from County Cork was shown the door by his governing body – a development widely predicted by Emerald Isle rugby experts after last month's excruciating loss to Italy in Rome, in which the Munsterman got his sums badly wrong.

Does she ever stop? Rihanna continues her partying as she takes to clubbing in native Barbados in red rude girl outfit
She spent several weeks partying her sun drenched days away in the south of France.
And now Rihanna's back on home turf in Barbados she's not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon.
The Umbrella hitmaker stepped out for yet another night of partying as she turned out to Club 360 last night.
Out again! Rihanna shows no signs of slowing down any time soon as she steps out to a club in her native Barbados
Rihanna reverted back to her rude girl style as she wore some Nike Air Jordans.
She teamed them up with some tiny denim shorts with a red jacket and matching baseball cap, and to co-ordinate even more she put a slick of scarlet on her lips.
Rihanna wore her hair down and curly underneath the cap as she chatted away to friends inside.
All smiles: The umbrella hitmaker dressed in her rude girl style as she turned up to local Club 360 to mingle with pals
The pop superstar mingled with the likes of Project Runway's season nine winner at the bash.
She smiled widely at the camera as she let her hair down in the club as she struck a number of poses with her acquaintances.
It comes fresh from her posting up raunchy images of herself as she enjoyed her local Crop Over festival in the Caribbean nation.
Always out: Fresh from her European yacht trip, Rihanna gave a flash of her bra under her scarlet red outfit
Legs out: She wore tiny denim hot pants with a red baseball cap and Nike trainers
Rihanna posed with her cleavage out in a revealing outfit as she continued her hard partying.
The 24-year-old was in Bridgetown at the Barbados annual Crop Over carnival celebrations and was clearly happy to be back home following her European getaway.
The Where Have You Been singer couldn't wait to share her photographs with her fans and tweeted some rather saucy snaps.
Letting her hair down: The singer partied as soon as she arrived back in her home nation and has continued ever since
In one image she captioned 'me being me', Rihanna can be seen holding an ice cold beverage in her hand and squeezing her cleavage together with her arms.
The star was wearing a polka-dot bra with an open baseball jersey and a Trapstar cap which she sported backwards.
However, her party girl image hasn't gone down well with cosmetic tycoon Stefan Heidenreich - the new head of Nivea's parent firm, Beiersdorf - who told German media that the singer should have been considered a 'no go' for the brand's family image.
Poser: Rihanna shared some raunchy photos on Twitter a few days ago when she first arrived back in Barbados for the annual Crop Over festival
49-year-old said: 'The advert starring Rihanna was a no go. I do not
understand how Nivea can be brought into association with Rihanna.'
In one ad, a family is seen moisturising with Nivea while Rihanna's sultry hit California King Bed plays in the background.
Rihanna appeared in a series of adverts for the firm, which was a sponsor of her world tour last year, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the company, but now may be surplus to requirements.
