Topic: Ipods and pacemakers
According to an article I found on techtree.com, Ipods have a significant relation to human hearts. As strange as this may sound, it’s true! Studies have shown that when in close proximity Ipods cause pacemakers to malfunction. The article, however, disproves this theory by stating the contrary. The article stated that the FDA conducted a study that tested how the magnetic fields of the pacemaker reacted to an ipod in close range. They concluded that there was no interference between the pacemaker and the ipod.
In another article on CBSnews.com, I came across more detailed information on this experiment. This article stated the name of the man that conducted the study, how he did the study, and what were the results of his experiment.
By reading another article on washingtonpost.com, I found out the source of this issue. According to the article, the incident occurred when an individual wearing a pacemaker became dizzy while using an ipod. And lo and behold the great ipod/pacemaker issue was born.
