Comments on news posted 2007-04-28 11:59:18: With Wi-Fi health concerns running rampant (unwarranted though they may be) and causing calls for bans on wireless use in schools, experts and everyone else under the sun are trying to come up with compromises that teach users safer ways to make use.. ..

Hey while we're at it, my cell phone has given me brain cancer and my TV remote has given me heart problems.

Let's not forget radio stations. I laugh so hard at the morning shows in Atlanta, I catch chest pains and may clock out early from the laughter.

Apparently call phones are safe again.


Maybe they should let kids use school "computer time" to make calls from their cell phones since they seem to be less of a concern now that wireless is killing us.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Guess it means I'll have to tether fiber optic cable with me wherever I go and need interweb access.

Edit: I was thinking about one of those fiber optic trucks that lays the fiber. I can drive to my destination and have interweb access and then when I'm ready to leave I'll just drive back in reverse.

That will elimate wireless radiation. Maybe though I might get sick from the exhaust of the truck. Oh well, that is not of concern!

You do that, too? Man, best thing since reading in the bathroom. I assume you are of the male persuasion because my wife hates when I do it.

It's the only time I can get ME time in. Lol!

Oh, the irony!

I find it incredibly ironic how people can jump to the unfounded conclusion that wi-fi is dangerous, yet they have no problem chowing down on Big Macs, Whoppers, fries, and other high-calorie, high-cholesterol foods that most certainly will shorten their lives, all while puffing away on a cigarette.

God forbid that people should tackle the dangers they know about instead of worrying about things that haven't been shown to harm anyone.

But yes, that cell phone certainly does have the potential to shorten your life...when you have it glued to your ear while driving like an idiot because you can't focus on the road.

Kids don't have desks?

What ever happen to desks in school? Why is a school buying students expensive laptops then not providing them a desk to put it on? Just seems dumb that they are doing a study on laptops in the laps, when students use desks.

Re: Cock and Bull story

This won't deter the crackpots. They fear the radiation from the Access Points used by others will harm their little children, who of course follow mommy and daddy's restrictions and NEVER talk on a cellphone, NEVER use a computer, NEVER eat junk food, and NEVER have fun....

Remember, when you're a crackpot, it's very important not just to do irrational things yourself, but to force others to do the same irrational things you do--so you don't feel so irrational.

We're paying the price for lousy science education ...

If the level of general science knowledge among the population was a little bit bit better than what it is now (i.e., abyssmal), we wouldn't be having this problem. Everyone would just laugh off the Angal Lady when she says "Wi-Fi is radiation, and all radiation is dangerous".

BTW did you hear about the man who left his cattle ranch to his kids? They renamed the ranch to "Focus".

"After all", one of the boys said, "It's where the sons raise meat"
