Can CANCER be caused by your mobile phone? - Technoob

caution logo
First of all, why is this even a concern? Is it even possible that cancer can be caused by cell phones? Apparently, there are three reasons that have certain potential to cause critical health problems and cancer.

• Cell phones are able to emit radiofrequency energy which is a form of non-ionizing radiation out of their antennas. When this process happens, the nearest tissues to the antennas are able to pick the energy up.

• Mobile phones are used by almost everyone. From babies to the elderly. By December 2014, there was an estimated amount of 327 million mobile phone subscribers in the U.S. alone. Globally, it was estimated to be around 5 billion users.

• Improvements in the cell phone industry have also resulted that the devices have lower power outputs than previous models.

So what exactly is this radiofrequency energy? And most importantly, how is it able to affect our bodies?

Radiofrequency energy is a type of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be categorized into two types which are ionizing and non-ionizing. Electromagnetic radiation is defined by its frequency and wavelength, which is how many times the cycles of a wave that passes a reference point per second.

The energy of this electromagnetic radiation is determined by its frequency. Ionizing radiation is described as high frequency, and therefore high energy, whereas non-ionizing radiation is described as low frequency, and therefore low energy.

The usual frequency of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation ranges from 30 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz. Electromagnetic fields inside the radiofrequency range are used for specific purposes like telecommunications applications, including mobile phones, T.V's, and radio transmissions. The human body absorbs energy from devices that tend to emit radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation. The dose of this absorbed energy is estimated using a measurement called the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), which is shown in watts per kilogram of body weight.

When Exposed to ionizing radiation, such as x-rays and cosmic rays, are known to increase the risk of cancer. Even though many studies have examined the potential health effects of non-ionizing radiation from radar such as microwave ovens or mobile phones, there is still no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation can increase the risk of cancer.

Another recent study investigated if exposure to the radiofrequency energy from mobile phones affects the flow of blood inside the brain and had found no evidence of such an effect.

Even though studies show negative results on the matter, it does not hurt to be on the safe side, right?

So what exactly can you do to reduce your cell phone from exposing you to radiofrequency energy?

• You can try to reserve your mobile phone for brief conversations or if there is no landline available.

• Using a device with hands-free technology which places more distance from you to the phone will greatly reduce the risk of exposing yourself to radiation.

• Avoid conversations through your mobile phones whilst the device is charging.

How to make a first person character controller - Unity

A first-person character controller script is the starting point of any fps shooter game. Even new Unity game developers tend to write their own fps controller script before learning anything else as it is challenging and very exciting. In this article, we gonna create two simple fps controllers from scratch and will guide you step by step on how it works. First, let's understand the basic concept of an fps controller. You should have a rotating camera that rotates in the x-axis to look up and down and the character should rotate on the y-axis to look around. There are two ways to create an fps controller in the Unity Engine.  Using Character controller component Using the RigidBody component Both have different advantages and disadvantages when using them. It depends on your game to select the best fps controller according to your needs.  Character controller based fps controller Pros: Is grounded check is built-in Has its own methods to move the ...

Unity Get Post web requests - Technoob Technology

Web requests in unity are super easy to use. We gonna use the UnityWebRequest class as the WWW class is deprecated now. UnityWebRequest class can be used for both Get and Post methods. The 'UnityEngine.Networking' namespace is required to work with UnityWebRequests.  This tutorial is made with some simple UI elements. First Let's see how the GET method works. 01. UnityWebRequest.GET We use this method to receive data from the server as normal get requests. Using coroutines in web requests is mandatory as we have to wait until the download is complete before showing the results, and the coroutines make this much easier. A simple button calls the method and a text element will show the result. The script contains a reference to the text element and the string URL of your PHP file.  When the button is pressed the button executes the ButtonGetData method and that method simply starts the GetData coroutine. We use the using keyword as this data ...

How to make an Advanced Audio Manager for Unity - Technoob Technology

Unity engine gives us a good control on audio clips we use, But the problem is when we add several audio sources for several audio clips it's gonna get hard to control them all. And if you want to make some changes to only one audio source you have to find it first.  This will become a mess if you gonna work with more than 10 audio clips. In this case, we can Create an AudioManager and include all the audio clips in it and make some static methods to play, pause the audio from other scripts. This Audio Manager is written in C# and if you use unity-script you have to convert this into unity script first. In this tutorial, we gonna create an audio manager which contains 7 methods. 1.Play 2.Pause 3.Unpause 4.Stop 5.FadeIn 6.FadeOut 7.lower volume for a duration First, we need a Custom class which contains some strings, floats, bools and an audio clip. This class is not derived from unity mono behavior so we should add [System.Serializable] t...
