Electricity is all around us, all the time. It makes our lives easier, safer, more fun and most of us never think about it. But is there such a thing as too much electricity? Electronic devices emit an electromagnetic field, which is suspected to cause cancer. We read countless sources on this topic to summarize the results of the latest research for you.

    "Could Your Phone Hurt You?" It depends on impact velocity.
  • @WeirdBrainGoo
    Your headache going away when turning of your laptop or phone could also be because staring at a screen for long periods of time can cause eye strain or over stimulation. PS. Holy crap, that transition to the plug was smooth as butter.
  • @zmnicvander
    Thank you for this. My doctor wanted me to purchase an electromagnetic radiation wave blocker. It sounded kinda mumbo jumbo, but she had been spot-on in everything else, so I wondered... And you just cleared it out for me. Thanks a bunch.

    I cannot express how much I fear a Kurzgesagt "but".

  • @MightyMeg
    “could your phone hurt you?” well i just dropped it on my face, so yes.
  • You guys are the most dedicated people I have ever seen. There is an entire page of sources that very few people will EVER care about. On a ~9 minute long video. That is dedication, serious dedication.
  • @falcongamer5867
    Once i was holding it up while i was lying on my bed and then it fell on my nose, so yes. PHONES CAN HURT YOU
  • @osse1n
    Eyes itch because of pollen Society: it's because of those damn video games
  • Was just talking with my wife about how every study seems like its a bit biased or just provides an incomplete picture. This was a great vid!
  • @pottyfot6445
    I honestly believe that even if a study was released linking cell phones to cancer... most people would ignore it. Like a person addicted to herion or meth. The activity overrides the risk because the effects aren't immediate.
  • @Shetty404
    "Could your phone hurt you" It certainly does, At 1% battery charge
  • @hexogenic983
    This channel is a fine example of Quality > Quantity.
  • I have very mild headaches after being on my phone for too long. But this is just from my slight astigmatism in my eyes. Astigmatism is actually quite wierd, because before I had an eye test I didn't realise what I experienced wasn't (completely) normal (as even with it my vision is still 20/20), so I would just attribute it to the usage of my phone, but never really the radiation from it. Mabye something similar might be where people are getting the idea of harmful phone radiation from.
