Is there anyway you can work from home where you can really do some stuff you can't at somebody else's work environment?

Oh no!!! What is "average"? Is there anything I can
do about it other than just trying to limit it? (It
doesn't seem like there is "much" I can do as far as
limiting it, I could try to do it a little like maybe
cut cell phone use by an hour if I did stuff like use
pay phones, etc. Computer use I don't know what I
could do about it because I really havae to use it for
my job. I do SOME personal stuff (like mostly health
research)....I dont even email people I know "in real
life" hardly ever...so it will be really hard to find
anything to dramatically cut back!

So, I think I posted in another post that I was able
to move my computer back so it is about 1.5 times
further away. So how would this affect the radiation?
It wasn't twice as far to make it 25% of original
radiation.....so what would it be?
Also what is really the problem, the "monitror", the
actual box of the computer, the accessories like
keyboard,etc or just ALL of the electral equipment

Okay, thank for the input on this. It is good to know
because it sounds like I wasn't realzing how big of a
deal the computer and cell phone problem is!!!
Any suggestions about what to do about it? I really
don't know of any way I can reduce my computer time
that dramatically. I suppose if I didn't do ANY
personal stuff on computers ever, I could get it down
from maybe 12 hours to 11?
Cell phone I can PROBABLY cut back on a little (maybe
from 4 to 2-3 hours) if I really work at it.
SO.... what can I do about the computer/cell phone
exposure problem? It seems like it is really being
harmful? Is there something I can put on the computer
to make it stop? On the cell phone?

Yikes. So what do people DO about this....I wish I
could just live in the 18th century with no electric
stuff; but it is really hard to avoid these things.

What would be some easyily implemented things that I
can do to reduce the harm of the computer and the cell
phone?
I was thinking of like things you "do" to the computer
or cell phone - like put aluminum foil on it?
And also things you "do" to yourself - like suggested
to wear some kind of protective stuff???

Oops, yes, I do. I have instad of a land line, those
vonage telephone thing throught the internet. I have
one corded and one cordless hooked up to it. I only
use it about an hour each day, but can easily change
to using the corded one...and unplug/give up/etc the
other phone. Thank you. I would have never known
that.
