...and radio, TV, radar, SAT TV, navigational aid (ILS, VOR, LORAN) signals as well as leakage from CATV and the use of cell phones do not??? In any case, if you have a town of totally like-minded people, it is really up to them. |

1 edit | Just give them a roll of tin foil
Or aluminium (or in UK speak, al-lou-min-e-um) foil...then offer the community "origami classes" where they can learn a new skill and express their individuality through, ummmm, self expressive design of their "special hats"...
Otherwise this is why stoopid people should not be allowed to breed let alone become teachers.
Someone needs to remind them of a couple facts of life...first, a birth certificate is also proof of death, eventually...next, life itself causes death, so maybe we simply need to ban life once and for all!

|  Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't.
 I guess these people feel like a nut most of the time. I see we have a new crop of Luddites trying to stop progress. I am sure we will find some of these Dodo's living next a commercial broadcasting station broadcasting at 500,000 to 1,000,000 Watts effective radiated power, worrying about a Wi-Fi Router in a home next store broadcasting at 0.03 Watts. What Morons. They are probably still frying their brains with a 2.4Ghz cordless telephone transmitting at 0.6 Watts like my old Panasonic. |

| Actually taken down?
... where the town of Glastonbury, renown for its new age proclivities, has decided to remove Wi-Fi because they believe Wi-Fi is responsible "for upsetting positive energy fields of the body, which are known as chakras, and positive energy fields of the earth, which are known as ley lines." Got a link to that?
The most I can find is that the town has installed Wi-Fi and some section of the population wants it taken down; I couldn't find any info that it had in fact been taken down, even on the campaign web site.
FWIW, Glastonbury is prey to a lot of new-age nonsense because of its particular geography and history, as well as mythology. |

Cordless phones use the same or similar freqs, DEC 6 i think uses wifi. I guess science means nothing to these progressives. |

| Seriously...
I honestly can't believe some of the banana oil you drench these news items with. Wi-fi is an advancement in technology as a hovering car. Its a nice idea but no more than that it furthers nothing and it hinders nothing...stop watching tv, and stick with facts of what wi-fi can and cannot do. Stop wasting time criticizing people for not needing useless things. |

Re: Do they have cordless phones ?
Actually after cordless phone manufactures abandoned the 900MHz frequency band the 2.4GHz band was used. It is the same band Wi-Fi uses. The 2.4GHz band was abandoned by cordless phone manufactures, because cordless phones caused too much interference in other devices utilizing the same frequency band, such as Wi-Fi. That is why many consumers that installed Wi-Fi replaced their 2.4GHz Cordless Phones with 5.8GHz Cordless Phones. DECT cordless phones uses frequencies in the 1.9GHz band. |

DECT 6.0 is the US variant. DECT (no 6.0) is the UK variant. Both use frequencies in the 1900 band (close to what PCS cell phones use), not WiFi/2.4 GHz.
I sometimes wonder if WiFi is giving me a headache, but I never seem to get headaches around microwaves (microwave ovens to be clear) so that can't be the case.
Seems odd that the particular 2.4 GHz frequency would disturb these people, and 1.9, 0.9, etc. wouldn't...
Solution: have these people pay to outfit their neighbors with dual-band routers/wireless cards, and have them use the upper (5 GHz) band. If there's still problems, they need to get lives. If not, problem solved 
As for me, I'll stick with my 2.4 GHz WiFi router transmitting 84 mW, my (and my parents' and brother's) cell phones operating in the PCS band (AFAIK) and cordless phones operating at 1900 MHz and 900 MHz (yay 900 MHz cordless phones). Then again, I can do this around here...no chakras to fry but my own for a hundred yards or so. Even then, the WiFi signal barely reaches...gotta love open spaces for WiFi signal... |

| WiFi, crude oil, nut and berries
I will be the contrarian to what is posted so far.
Humans did not know that certain mushrooms were bad to eat until one was eaten. Now, the way it worked was something like this: Person eats mushroom and say, "that is good!" Another human goes and eats a different mushroom that looks similar and dies. But wait, since one mushroom was good, maybe something else killed the man, so someone else eats the same type of mushroom and dies. Okay, not all mushrooms are good. The old style method of testing was to eat and die or not. The same went for nuts, berries and that black liquid seeping out of the ground.
According to Wiki, cell phones and microwaves fall under the same general frequency alignment. So that could explain for me, why bar style phones make my ear hot.
I guess we will see over the coming years the sort of brain cancers that develop from cooking your brain with radio waves in the same range as a microwave. Or maybe some finger cancers will develop from test messaging. I guess we are all part of a great experiment.

Any bio-electric field that might conceivably be sensed by persons with psychic ability would, by definition, be in the ELF and lower VLF spectrum [0.5 - 40 Hz] »www.brown.edu/Departments/Clinic···req.html »www.associatedcontent.com/articl···ves.html . Wi-fi operates fairly high up in the microwave spectrum. Given a power level several orders of magnitude higher in the 2.4 Ghz range, there might be a possibility of tissue damage from exposure to the microwave radiation, but the power level is measured in microwatts or milliwatts, not watts or tens of watts, so even that's a moot point.
If these fluff-bunnies ever bothered learning any hard science, they'd understand that what they're alleging is utterly absurd. |
