My grandson's grade school started using iPads this year. He's in the
3rd grade. He wrote me a letter telling me how much he loves it, what
he's using it for, and was very excited about all the "apps". It
fills me with horror. My kids can't "hear" what I have to say about
wireless radiation--it's their generation's operational mode. Their
lives are about technology. It's the way they function in life.
My granddaughter told me when she was 15 that she was "weird"--
couldn't keep a thought in her head; they just flew around. Her home
has smart meters, WIFI, cordless phones, cell phones, and her school
has wifi, etc. I asked her if she felt more centered when she was
outside. She thought "maybe", but I'm sure it's hard for her to tell
since she's in an urban area that is saturated with cell towers, smart
meters, etc.
I'm powerless to do anything about this. I'm not the parent, and the
parents aren't open to hearing what I know. Being a grandparent puts
one in a tenuous position. You can't tell your 40-something kids what
to do, and you certainly can't tell them what to do for their kids.
They are in charge of their lives now. I've sent them articles about
cell phone RF danger, but they aren't responding to any of it. (Guess
I have no "cred"--after all, I got sick 20 years ago from CFIDS/MCS,
and I doubt they even have an inclining of how serious that is.) All
I can do is hope/pray they will become enlightened in time.
