I'd agree with wifi and cell phones being introduced in a slower way actually.

We don't need a 100 years though, since there is only one thing to check: if it affects us directly. We don't have the same cascading effect potential, nor nearly the same number of possible interactions.

And we already know that cell phones affect us by the way: the new generation already present an attention and focus deficit because of the constant solicitation of the cell phone. Privacy is being denied more and more. We've created huge amount of electronic wastes.

So yeah, I wish we had took a little more time instead of jumping full throttle into it. Or at least follow the effects and react.

But we are not a very reasonable specie.
