I have been reading some recent studies and decided to share their findings. It turns out that cell phones/computers/tablets are not only saving the environment, they're saving you as a person. They have virtually replaced newspapers as a source of information, meaning that the paper companies are not only gutting out less forests, but the forests that are being used are actually replacing trees faster then paper companies are taking them. They also aren't spewing out tons of pollution, since they aren't making many papers. Worried about those radio waves? You shouldn't be because it turns out those are a very low dose cancer treatment. What better way to cure cancer than to use your cell phone and tell your family that you have cancer.

Worried about the CO2 in the air? You shouldn't be if marijuana becomes legal in the US. It turns out that marijuana plants actually clean about 10 times the air of any other plant. There is a negative effect to all the cleaning up, the polar shelf is no longer dropping off in to the ocean. It's actually starting to repair itself, which means a mini ice age. I just can't help but think: I'll deal with a couple degrees of lowered temperatures for a few years if it fixes the planet. I'm not saying that the planet will be fixed over night, but this is a pretty good push to get it fixed up and ensure we don't go extinct in a couple hundred years.

If you happen to be sacred that the internet makes you less intelligent, you shouldn't be worried at all. It turns out that with all the fake stuff on the internet, people are going to greater lengths to find out the truth and learn new things. This is making the human race as a whole smarter.

Ever wonder why infections are almost non-existent now? You can thank credit cards and not medicine for that one. It turns out that using that old, dirty money was the cause of most of the infections in the modern world because microbes can breed very well in it. Plastic on the other hand is a very bad spot for an infection to pick as it's home.

Got a recent study to add to list? Share it in this topic. You might just help save the planet.

The Co2 part is interesting !!

I live in a desert so I dont think it would make a difference :P

I found another one for everyone: It turns out that hole in our ozone is shrinking now too, thanks to using air pressure over the old CFCs and the paper companies not using many trees. Australian scientists have been tracking how the hole shrinks and expands every day and found that over-all, it's shrank about 10%. Finally mother nature is getting some help.

I didnt notice that. But this will also leave paperboys and other paper involved companies out of the bussiness

It does Shigi, but it also means that more companies making these electronics are popping up to replace those jobs. Also, which place would you rather work at?

Well id rather work at thelatter place that doesnt deal with paper.

Wow this is very interesting, nice. I've learned plenty from this :)
When i find something interesting, ill post here again.

I have yet another one: It seems that thinking you're a great driver also causes you to be a horrible driver. You think you're better than you are at driving and it makes you do things that can cause serious accidents.

Studies show 97 percent of American adults get less than 30 minutes of exercise a day, which is the minimum recommended amount based on federal guidelines. New research from the University of Missouri suggests certain genetic traits may predispose people to being more or less motivated to exercise and remain active. Frank Booth, a professor in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine, along with his post-doctoral fellow Michael Roberts, were able to selectively breed rats that exhibited traits of either extreme activity or extreme laziness. They say these rats indicate that genetics could play a role in exercise motivation, even in humans.

All this information is very useful where did you find it? I ask because i didn't know about this stuff until i read this forum, especially the cell phone stuff. I guess doing a little bit of research does make the difference in knowing and not knowing

The sensation of having a physical body is not as self-evident as one might think. Almost everyone who has had an arm or leg amputated experiences a phantom limb: a vivid sensation that the missing limb is still present. A new study by neuroscientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that it is possible to evoke the illusion of having a phantom hand in non-amputated individuals.

Thats actually really cool, thanks for sharing with everyone

Yeah these facts are interesting now I can prove that staying on the computer searching can make u smart lol and true once I thought I was a good baseball player at throwing so I kept on throwing the ball fast but then it hit my nose(luckily didn't break)
