Re: Everything will eventually kill you

How many people put a tv/radio transmitter 4 inches from their gonads? Yeah it's only 100mW or so but still there's no evidence to show it's not harmful. And no evidence to say it is harmful either but this guy wants to stay safe.

Re: Everything will eventually kill you

How many people put a tv/radio transmitter 4 inches from their gonads?

Millions. That cell phone in your pocket 4" from your gonads transmits 850/900/1800/1900Mhz at 1 watt when active (old analog cell phones went up to 3 watts), 0.2-0.5 watts when idle. Wi-fi typically transmits at only 0.030-0.100 watts (30-100 milliwatts) when in an active data transmission. If you're going to "feel the effects" of wi-fi in 50 years, you're going to feel the effects of cell phones yesterday.

How many college students have cell phones? Lots. How many have wi-fi that they will use ANYWAY? Lots. How pointless is any ban or lawsuit against wi-fi? Lots.
