Talk about tragic irony. Read these headlines (and related articles) released on September 20 and 21 respectively:

Users Are Tossing Their Landlines Overboard

-  Mobile Phone Use Raises Children’s Risk Of Brain Cancer 5 Fold.

Scary. Technology is great but this serves as an example of what can happen when we blindly rush into it.

I love technology as much as anyone but my kids won’t have (or need) anything more than a simple text messaging device.

Hat-tip to Rob Hyndman for discovering the latter study.
