I write about what is happening in the wider world, and particularly around health. There is no getting away from the fact that the world is going digital, or if it hasn’t gone digital already, it is set to go digital.

Countries that have gone digital

New Zealand and Sweden have gone digital. France and Germany are in the process of going digital. In the UK, they have started the process, with businesses being told to get ready for the change-over. They’re going fibre-optic. The permanent change-over is going to happen in 2025.

It isn't great because fibre-optic means potential EMF emissions and potential EMF emissions if exposed for long periods, can cause health problems. Anything that isn't plugged in has the potential to harm us and can make us ill.

Connecting with technology

Whilst technology keeps us connected and being connected helps with isolation and loneliness, which we have seen in the pandemic, there are health concerns to staying connected.

EMF's

I have already written about EMFs on my blog where I have gone into detail, but for those who originally came up with the idea of going digital so we could keep in touch on the go, they weren't looking at the bigger picture of what that potentially means, in terms of health. Keeping ourselves connected is harming our health.

In 2025, homes and business are expected to change over, when analog phone lines are switched off. Communication will either be by mobile phone, or going digital in homes too.

If you opt out of going digital, and you’re still using your mobile phone, it should be minimised. But with 5G already up and running in a city or town where you live in the UK, if one of those doesn’t harm you, going digital in your home increases the risk of impacting your health.

Technology

Technology is making us ill and we seem to be okay with it, but we haven’t given much thought of what that means, in terms of our long-term health. EV cars also omits EMF’s, which we're sitting on and for long periods.

Turning a blind eye on these, isn’t a good idea for people who already carry sensitivities, but even if you don’t carry sensitivities, you can still get ill from EMF’s if you’re continually exposed, and you're using these products long-term and without any protection.
