ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Misinformation related to 5G technology

Ok kiddo, so you know how we use phones and tablets to watch videos and play games, right? Those devices need a special kind of technology called "5G" to work really well. Some people are worried about 5G and saying that it's bad for us, but that's not true.

You know how sometimes someone tells you something and it's not true? Well, that's kinda what's happening here. Some people are spreading wrong information about 5G that makes it seem really scary. They say that 5G can hurt our health, make us sick, or even cause the coronavirus. But those things aren't true at all.

Scientists who study 5G say it's actually safe for us to use. They've done lots of tests to make sure it won't hurt us. 5G is just like the older technologies we've used before, such as 4G and 3G. It's just a better and faster way for our phone and tablet to connect to the internet.

So, there's nothing to worry about, little one. 5G is safe and won't hurt us. It's just another way for us to stay connected and have fun with our devices.
