Or you could just get a pair of in ear monitors and have the option to spend less than 110 dollars (or many hundreds if you choose) for amazing noise isolation.
For example, Ultra Violet light stimulates Vitamin D production in the skin (UVB specifically) and is also used as a treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder. We all know what can happen with over exposure.
Gamma Radiation is actually used in some forms of radiography. Again, useful and fairly harmless medical applications. Over exposure to gamma radiation can cause some nasty side effects however, including nausea, hair loss and death.
So my point is that yes it is entirely possible to say that one type of electromagnetic radiation can be beneficial to the body at a specific level and exposure while saying another type of electromagnetic radiation has no affect or is detrimental.
That being said I doubt these things do anything since we are exposed to IR light all the time and it doesn't seem to have any affect.
I actually have to agree with the antisocial declaration.
In my younger days I had a job which involved interacting with the public on a regular basis. At the time it surprised me how many people would refuse to get off their cell phone or even just put it down for the 5 minutes it would take to go through their transaction.
Now that I'm older and more cynical I'm not at all surprised when I am at a restaurant and see one in a group of two or three sitting on their phone for extended periods of time. I don't get surprised when I see flashes of, or worse, hear rings of cell phones in movies or museums.
Compared to someone actually interacting with flesh and blood humans as they go through their day to day activities I would say that hiding with a cell phone at your ear is an anti-social behavior.
I would equate it to the differences between "city life" and "small town" life. Having lived in both I wouldn't say people who live in cities are anti-social, but the social atmosphere between strangers interacting in public certainly appears that way. Mobiles only increase that appearance.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
