Read about this years ago.

Some of the things they did and contraptions they had back then were crazy.

Makes me wonder if years from now future generations will think the same about our devices.

Yep. With WiFi/LTE/soon 5G, we're bathing in a sea of microwave and millimeter wave electromagnetic radiation. Sure, it's non-ionizing and low-power, but still... Probably harmless, but...

I remember reading about this too Axe, but this seemed to really go into a lot
of detail, and give so much information on everything that went on. Honestly
didn't know so much about what happened during the time, but then after
as well. Just was horrible.

Oh, and have to agree with all of you guys about all of the things we use
today. Which could be looked at in a similar way by people years from now.
Everything from the devices, and technologies like you said, to all the
different medications, foods, drinks etc.

Thanks a lot for finding this for us !
