IS IT DANGEROUS TO USE MY IPAD MINI 2 ON MY CHEST WHILE I AM LYING DOWN? I CAN SEE IT BETTER THIS WAY.

I can't imagine it would be. What is your concern?

If true, I hate to think what my iPad is doing to my lap! EEPS! Maybe I'll wear a tin foil hat in case.

I have read studies about it not being wise to put a lap top on your lap without a lap top pillow or some sort of protector. The electromagnetic field can cause fertility issues in men, and the heat can cause skin rashes. Google it.

Sorry to the OP, but I have no idea about putting it on the chest because all I have ever read about is the lap. But going by the same theory as to why it is dangerous on the lap, it would most likely be safer to not have the tablet directly on your chest. These days I am even a little more careful with my cell phone. Not keeping it so close to me when it is not in use.

"Reading studiers on Google" is not the same as reading -- and understanding - actual objective, peer-reviewed scientific studies. 5 minutes of using a search engine is not the same as a scientific education.

Use common sense. You wouldn't sit too close to aTV, would you?

I have never gotten a skin rash from using a laptop. You can also burn yourself with a heating pad.

If you stopped to think about how many objects emit radiation, you would want to hide.

I wouldn't, just to be safe! I have been warned several times not to put your cell phone in your bra because of breast cancer incidents.

There's only a very small amount of anecdotal evidence about that and no actual study done on it. I don't keep my cellphone in my bra because that's ridiculous - a bra is not a purse - not because I am worried about cancer.
