Your iPod and BlackBerry Can Hurt Your Health

I dont text

i think it is dumb to text

Wow

These are the people that are going to be running the country in 10 to 20 years?

I have an Ipod and I have an Iphone and I use them on a regular basis. But I don't feel the need to spend every second of my life on them. I can have conversations with friends, and set them aside while I do so. I can go to bed, and plug my phone in the charger in the other room and sleep peacefully.

Sometimes you need to stop and enjoy life. We have allowed ourselves (or in some cases, allowed our children) to depend on technology to entertain us to the point that we can't enjoy people and nature and life.

nno

with out music the world would be silent.

what about microwave waves?

i agree with the last person. these problems are caused by dumb ass people. what surprises me is there is no mention of the dangerous effects of microwaves on the body - more serious reports on which are just beginnning to come out.

nothing to do with iPod or Blackberry

the title indicates that iPod and blackberry cause this problem,

but in fact it is a matter of habbit and awareness.The article should not adopt this misleading title.

wow.

Texting on a treadmill is no big deal. In fact, i am a skilled enough texter that i dont even need to look at my phone while texting except to read what the other person wrote. So, texting and doing other stuff is not an issue.

Ipods are great, and if you wanna lose your hearing... COOL FOR YOU. Most people listen to their ipods loudly because some people cannot learn to shut up or talk in a voice so that everyone around them doesn't have to hear their conversation. So maybe the problem is people need to shut up. End of story..

And honestly to the illiterate person above, if you are 14, you should consider a spelling tutor.. I am 16 and think you sound like a complete idiot with your bad spelling.

Really now? Eh, it happened to me, my poor thumb got a cramp of some kind, I couldn't move it for a while which was very inconvenient when you want to play video games or trying to write multiple essays (-.-). As for the hearing, yea it can do serious damage, I would know but I'm getting a bit better with the volume issue, the result my sister keeps bugging the crap out of me.

Also I agree with the person above, if people want to blow their hearing let them. It's not like anyone can stop them. Oh and before I forget, texting on a treadmill are you serious?!

Dude that's got to be dangerous not to say insane!

Music

I listen to my Ipod, max volume all the time, well except for class...I'm forced to turn it off, but my hearing is actually really good, better than most. I can multi task while I text, but I do nothing important. I may be in the middle of class, or on the computer, but I'm smart enough to keep it to where I'm not in danger of physical harm to myself or others. I can't see why you can't text and get on a treadmill, I mean really all it is, is keeping a steady pace, shouldn't be that difficult. I jog with music, with my Ipod. I'm sorry to say I'm 14, I'm far more literate than the person above me. If your going to use words like stupid the least you could do it spell it correctly. I would like to say one thing along the lines of a reply to that. Companies make many things that are hazardous to us. Every item in the market pretty much has a warning level as do Ipods.

Re: hey

Your only fourteen and have horrible spelling.

If people want to lose their hearing let them, its there decision

hey

i think that if people shoulndt listen to there MP3 players for so long that they go depth. i meen how stuped can you be to listen to music till you cant hear!hears an idea DONT DO IT!!!

On the other hand componys shouldnt be allowed to make music devices if they can and will hurt the people who spend there hard earn money on them...

and times are tuff so if your going to buy something you shoulndt have to wory about it hurting!!!!!!!

i may only be 14 but i know that if your ging to be stuped enuogh to listen to something until you go depth then its yuor own falt But componys shouldnt be allowde to make something ,that even if you are stuped enough to go depth, they still should NOT be allowed to make it!!!
