Episode Description
Managing innovation requires a technical, regulatory, economic & political perspective. This show illuminates smart phone performance, safety, health and regulatory issues. Sir Richard Branson once stated "if you hold the phone next to your head, you'll fry your brain". He then founded Virgin Mobile Sprint directed at American Youth. What is the matter? Are they healthy or not? Cell Phone antennas emit radio frequency signals to reach a cell tower. RF Signals are like tossing a stone in the pond; they spread out circularly. Your head absorbs 30% and your hand 20% leaving about half of the signal to reach the tower. Power in phones moves up and down to meet your needs. No one actually knows if near field Signals are risky. We are beginning to know the effects on infants and unexplained anomalies. James introduces us to a new paradigm for better antenna and improved science, standards and solutions. James reduces the matter to simple elements and has shared his talks around the world.

We tell our children to wash their hands routinely, clean the kitchen and bathroom thoroughly (since they tend to harbor the most germs), and buy eco-friendly cleaners to protect our planet. But, despite our best efforts, hazardous and counterfeit materials are still slipping into our homes and environment. While you may know the basics of shopping for safe and environmentally friendly products, including the brands to look for, it is still easy to miss products that pose health risks. In fact, some hazardous materials, albeit small amounts, are allowed in the products we buy: musical birthday cards, earrings, light bulbs, hair bands and brushes, school supplies, and even electronic and non-electronic toys. Do you know that chemicals in common household products can be everywhere, from plastics to packaging to your garden hose?
