Tech­nol­ogy is a great thing. Over the past few years, advances in telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions have enabled us to be even more pro­duc­tive on the go and in our homes than ever before. Wire­less tech­nol­ogy has made cum­ber­some cables and the need to plug in to access the inter­net a thing of the past. Moth­ers can down­load stream­ing video to their phones to keep chil­dren enter­tained while they gro­cery shop.
This con­ve­nience, this lux­ury of never being out of touch comes with a steep price—our health and the health of future generations.
