Nintendo Wii, a game console that is beyond the conventional two-player couch potato game. It is a program that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Almost all game titles come with intense storylines that are provocative and at the same time entertaining and complements the game consoles high capabilities. Game graphics, on the other hand, will take your breath away. Wii introduces a whole area of gaming not touched by other consoles. It is a casual and friendly game. Every Wii bundle comes in different parts. Say for example, you are a sports lover, Wii Sports is right for you. It includes a lot of outlets like tennis, baseball, boxing, golf and bowling. The bundle will depend on the selection of the client. Aside from the advanced game process, Wii also offers the classics. Traditional games that never went out of style like Zelda can still be enjoyed. The classic standardized motions of the character can be manipulated by the Wiis' controller. And if your games require real motions like swinging a bat, driving, or attacking with a sword, the Wii remote can mimic every action then transmit all those motions into the game. What makes Wii different from the others? Well, it is a multitasking program. Multitasking here doesn't mean that you can play numerous kinds of games. That's kind of old-school and is quite conventional. Wii is more than what you are used to. It has more than you could ask for. Where else could you find a revolutionized game wherein the player is really doing his part? Take that literally. In Wii, you can do what you're asked to. If the game requires driving, you can use the Wii remote to become the steering wheel. If it requires you holding a golf club and swinging it into a hole, the Wii remote can be used as a golf club. If the game says that both hands must be used, connect the Nunchuk adapter and let the games begin. Another cute feature of the game is that you can create your own avatar. The avatar is called Mii. Miis can be created to look like anybody whom you know. You can make it look like your sister or your pesky neighbor. Miis are the ones who interact with you on the verge of any game. Its like an interactive background. You can do quite anything that you please. You can even lose weight because it comes with a fitness game. You can do some work outs and win through your performance. What a creative way to stay fit. Definitely, the Nintendo Wii is a work of genius.
Meskipun pengaruh radiasi ponsel terhadap beberapa penyakit seperti tumor otak masih dipertanyakan, namun para peneliti tetap mengkhawatirkan efek terakumulasinya radiasi tersebut. Apa saja langkah yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengurangi radiasi tersebut?
Dalam situs The Food and Drug Administration's disebutkan bahwa bukti adanya hubungan antara ponsel dengan masalah kesehatan memang belum ada, namun FDA membenarkan bahwa ponsel mengeluarkaan radiasi level rendah dan energi radiofrekuensi (RF) tidak panas yang tidak akan merusak DNA.
Meskipun demikian, energi RF bersifat kumulatif dan bisa juga membahayakan jika berlebihan. Apalagi saat ini sudah banyak anak-anak yang memiliki ponsel dan berisiko terkena radiasi tersebut. Jika ketika masih kecil sudah terkena radiasi tersebut, kemungkinan pada saat dewasanya akan mengalami gangguan kesehatan.
Sebelumnya, organisasi The Environmental Working Group (EWG) pernah melakukan studi pada tahun 2007 dan melaporkan bahwa adanya peningkatan jumlah anak hiperaktif sebesar 80 persen pada anak-anak yang semasa kecilnya menggunakan ponsel atau ketika di dalam kandungan ibunya sering menelepon dengan ponsel.
Risiko penyakit lainnya yang diprediksi bisa muncul dalam jangka waktu 10 tahun dengan intensitas penggunaan yang sering adalah glioma atau tumor otak (60 persen), tumor kelenjar ludah (50 persen), migrain dan vertigo (10-20 persen).Pada tahun 2008, parlemen di Eropa pernah melakukan resolusi untuk mengembangkan radiasi ponsel yang lebih kecil namun aturan itu hingga kini belum bisa diaplikasikan. Untuk itu, satu-satunya langkah mengurangi radiasi tersebut adalah dengan menjauhkannya sebisa mungkin dengan organ tubuh.
"Sebaiknya gunakan speaker daripada mendekatkan ponsel ke telinga. Jarak otak dan telinga yang dekat akan membuat radiasinya cepat masuk ke otak. Menggunakan speaker bisa menjauhkan jarak radiasi hingga 15 inci dan mengurangi RF ke otak hingga 1/225th," ujar Dr. Andrew Weil seperti dilansir Huffington Post, Senin (12/10/2009).
Selain itu, Andrew pun menyarankan agar:
