For this project, I had to research the way phones work. At first, I hadn’t really known how I’d be able to tie in physics with the news I’d gotten about Elliot. Then I realized that I could take about the way my IPad and other devices work considering I’d received said news from my IPad. I learned that blue light disturbs the sleep cycle if you expose yourself to it at night for long periods of time. While I knew being up on your phone late at night was bad, I hadn’t realized it was because of that specifically. I also learned that Bluetooth is a type electromagnetic radiation wave.
This makes me wonder, if we continue to use harmful types of waves, how will that affect all of humanity in the long run? How much blue light do our phones expose us to? How does Bluetooth not hurt us if it’s a type of radiation? Are there any of types of radiation that aren’t harmful?
