Re: I too call bs
said by outback2k1  :Or turn it off without telling anybody. That would be the best way... and possibly the only way to really test that... However, it's going to be hard to not tell anyone since people are probably already using the network, aren't they?
I am not one to dismiss any claims jsut because it sounds silly. If the WiMax came one and a large amount of people all the sudden start having problems, it's worth looking into. There are many things that we thumbed our noses at in the beginning, didn't pay attention to it, and it became problems we deal with today.
A close, but not quite, example for rough comparisons:
HIV/AIDS: 1982 - "Nothing to worry about... there's no problem" - today, 40 million people have it and millions have died since; no cure.
SARS: CIRCA 2002 - "Jumped on right away, mostly contained. Could have been a MAJOR health issue.
The big difference between these references and WiMax is that he biggest hit would be to the economy if it were to continued to be built only later to find out it had to be scrapped if it's really causing issues. If an economy started to thrive and grow on it, our current humanity is one to keep things on, weight the amount of people with health problems vs money (which is WAY wrong in my book) and not do the right thing.
There are still concerns over high power lines causing health issues too... have we done anything about that? Nope... not really. |
