Technology Vs. Nature = end of life

Albert Einstein once said that if the bees disappeared, "man would have only four years of life left".

...The theory is that radiation from mobile phones interferes with bees' navigation systems, preventing the famously homeloving species from finding their way back to their hives. Improbable as it may seem, there is now evidence to back this up.

Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) occurs when a hive's inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature workers, like so many apian Mary Celestes. The vanished bees are never found, but thought to die singly far from home. The parasites, wildlife and other bees that normally raid the honey and pollen left behind when a colony dies, refuse to go anywhere near the abandoned hives. [more...]

Is communication ruining our way of life? Will addicts of the blackberry and mobile phone usage be willing to give up this form of communication? Will regular phones come back and email be used more?

Are you willing to give up your cell to save life? Global Warming has nothin on the mysterious dissappearnce of bees.
