G stands for Generation. Fifth generation.

There are plenty of problems already with 4G. Well documented.

Also, everything from WiFi to florescent lights are proven to affect children in schools, not to mention radio towers on top of them.

But if they/we never test we can never know.

You're putting a lot of faith in a government that is perpetually killing thousands weekly.

I put a lot of faith in a technology that has been around for decades now and hasn't had any adverse effects on people due to anything related to the network. People have been saying cellphones cause cancer for just as long, yet here we are. Many, many times we've had this conversation, yet somehow I'm gullible.

Are you concerned that this specific technology (the way it is being implemented) hasn't actually been around for decades? Cellular tech, sure, but not millimeter band types. Or that this wavelength range can cause noticeable pain when concentrated and directed at a person? These things give me pause, if anything.

I would have preferred numerous, elaborate studies on the potential health effects PRIOR to implementation. As well as human trials at the homes of the executives of cellular companies and any politicians supporting the immediate implementation. That only seems fair.

Would I like to see testing done? Absolutely.

Do I feel we should immediately jump to the conclusion that the government is going to use it to target individuals? Absolutely not.

I think we should say we don't know and stop right there. It's all the extra "stuff" attached to "why don't they have more tests done" that irks me.
