Abstract

The human race has acquired the peak of sensation today in augmenting development in the technological domain. With gratitude to state-of-the-art technology, humans are now enjoying heavenly delights, and 5G technology with high-wave transmission capability can be considered a universally acknowledged example. However, the radiation from 5G technology, which employs high-frequency waves, puts humankind at unimaginable health risks, which weakens us to further radiation. Seemingly invisible high-power radiations function like dormant volcanoes in the human body. The extremes of radiation in 5G technology have become so widespread that the miscellaneous physical problems provoked by radiation can easily be termed manufactured disorders that humans progressively construct. In addition to causing chronic diseases, this radiation plays a distinct role in suppressing the regular immune system of the human body. This chapter tries to clarify and shed light on the dangers of radiation arriving from 5G technology-supported devices and various types of incurable diseases of the human body.

1. Introduction

Technology plays the most prominent role in enhancing and improving the quality and standard of living in the 21st century. The technologies we use in 2023 were unimaginable, even twenty-five to thirty years ago. This impossible and unimaginable achievement of technology has significantly impacted our way of life, and in these circumstances, imagining a world without technology is like a dream that may or may not exist in reality. Our daily lives and use of technology are very closely linked together nowadays. The use of technology and, at the same time, the usefulness of technology has increased so much now that there is no area of daily life where we can live comfortably without the smooth use of technology. The promotion and spread of new technologies have increased so much that famous companies constantly strive to innovate new technologies, try to figure out new features of the existing technologies, and constantly update the system to be up-to-date and more user-friendly than ever. In each sector of our routine life, like communication, electrical, energy, manufacturing, medical, transportation, etc., we can quickly notice the broad walk of technology, and the usability rate is increasing tremendously. However, the most important thing about this advancement is that we will continue striving to develop each technology and achieve success to cope with the new generation. The technology used a decade ago seems like a 'neglected, unused, and unnecessary' object or substance. However, as social beings, we naturally let go of the old and embrace the new. In addition, if it is state-of-the-art technology, then there is no question.

The best example is telecommunication technology, where we can use - the largest, most accepted, most talked about, widely used, and expanded network. Even in the 20th century, we used satellite-based telecommunication systems and their associated networks to communicate because the cellular network remains undiscovered and unexplored. The First Generation (1G) cellular network was introduced and became available for the general public to access in 1981 for the first time in the history of telecommunication technology (Liu & Jiang, 2016). As the technology was newly invented and very much new to ordinary people, there were few technological advantages regarding today's technology. In the first part of the 20th century, countries worldwide started incorporating second-generation (2G) technology to build internal communication systems and infrastructures in a wide margin (“Radiolinja's History,” 2004). Organizations and technological companies have always worked to improve the existing technology and to invent more modern technology, and in these circumstances, third-generation (3G) technology was introduced at the beginning of the new century's first decade (“DoCoMo Delays 3G Launch,” 2001) and fourth-generation (4G) (Li, Wang & Zhang, 2020) at the end of the decade. At the end of the next decade, in 2019, cellular phone companies started using the fifth-generation (5G) network, the next-generation wireless network technology, for the first time worldwide (Hoffman, 2019).

Where earlier technologies could transfer data in kilobits per second (kbps) or Megabits per second (Mbps), the newly developed 5G technology can transfer data in Gigabit per second (Gbps). 5G reached a golden peak of success, technologically speaking or in terms of technological advancement; the newly invented network achieved download speeds of 10 Gbps (“5G explained,” n.d.), which is, in short, forever the most incredible and successful invention of the century. 5G can handle more additional devices than any other prior network and also in an energy-efficient manner. The ultimate reason behind these capabilities to handle or work with so many devices once at a time alongside optimal results is that it can transmit high frequencies and handle diverse networks, work with miscellaneous types of devices simultaneously, and have a higher probability of providing the best results. Moreover, it has another excellent capacity to reduce or cut down the quantity of the latency rate for a given network with a top reliability rate (Agiwal, Roy, & Saxena, 2016). Diverse operations like establishing a phone conversation, building up the interconnection between two or more intelligent devices, and sending or receiving data from the server side to the client, or vice versa, are all examples that can occur quickly and remarkably faster.
