Young adults most have never had a corded landline chat and/or text endlessly with pals around the country. On-the-go soccer moms tap away on their PDAs while waiting for the children. Many parents installed wireless baby monitors to keep their infants safe. It is crucial that these consumers be informed, that they know the proven dangers, and the proven solutions.
