We used to use X-rays with little to no precautions. It seemed silly to think that a little X-ray radiation could harm you. For example, shoe stores used to have little x-ray machines so you could see how your feet fit inside your shoes.
Notice that we don't have those any more? Or notice the way we get draped in pounds of poisonous metal just to be protected from excessive x-ray radiation when x-rays are necessary? -- ISCABBS - the oldest and largest BBS on the Internet telnet://bbs.iscabbs.com Professional Geographer Geographic Information Science researcher | |

| Re: Ham Radio Operator Yea, RF burns are not very pleasant, it doesn't just burn the surface of the skin like touching a hot pot on the stove, it's a really deep painful burn.
Only takes once to learn your lesson though....
Nonetheless, that was many years ago, and no Tumors formed, no Cancer has occurred.
And that was from direct contact with an antenna with about 45 watts.
That would be hundreds if not thousands of times the strength that WiFi transmits at.
Probably the people that fear WiFi the most are the same ones that think it's OK to dry off their pet cat in the microwave oven. -- "Lithium is no longer available on credit" | |

| How Amusing... Tell those parents/people that keep pushing their kids outside that they are complete morons for believing that Wi-Fi causes radiation/cancer. Every single electronic out there pretty much gives off some form of radiation. Computer monitors, Microwaves, Cell Phones, Cordless phones, Routers, Radio Stations, Sun, TV stations, satellites, TVs, smoke alarms (have radioactive materials in them, but that's a bit different story), etc. I've had a router for 3 years along with DSL and I don't see myself getting sick. Back before I got high speed internet here I used to get sick once a month because I was outside (facing sun burns as well ). Also, my router sits right next to my gaming computer, which I'm on literally 24/7 and I'm only a foot away from it, and the thing has high gain antennas with 3 radios in it. BS!
Also, you wanna know what really causes cancer? Natural deformities in cells AND cheapo sun screen. | |

| Re: How Amusing... Just to let everyone know, that Ultra violet radiation actually kills bacteria, protozoa, viruses, molds, yeasts, nematode eggs and algae. It's also used to purify the water you drink.
The only type of radiation that can hurt/kill you is actually very high powered meaning it's operating in the high KW range.
None of your devices or any other consumer or business device reaches these levels, and if they do even at high radiation levels the safety distance around that equipment is small as 100ft and most of the time will either be around a guarded fence and displaying a little radiation symbol for your safety and those who work on it.
You will never encounter or work with such a high powered antenna unless you work in the business or if you are in the military. Even to install a dish, a professional installer comes and does it for you and he is perfectly safe.
You are safe, and don't diagnose something you don't even know. More than likely that migraine you had all week is not because of radiation but because your a moron and are not drinking enough water to stay hydrated which is causing your migraine. Even if you feel hydrated you are more than likely not.
I am also now in California, and with the heat and the high altitude, I need to drink more water than normal. So instead of going and drinking that soda or that monster, which does more damage to your freaking heart than the radiation a wifi signal is making quit your BS and welcome to reality. | |

those lousy people believing that wifi can cause cancer....HA! Their mobile phones usually at their hands. Watching their tv. everyday using the pc. There has been this hokus pokus for many years. The power lines, tv, and pc. now wifi?! Take note cancer patients are exposed to more radiation than those who dont have because they need it.
Take look on astronauts. their suits cannot fully protect them from radiation from space and they're out there. There is only rare cases of cancer among them.
THose guys just want attention. those guys can't think anything right. all they have is fear. fear of this and fear of that. what's next? fear of remote controls. | |

| Cordless Phones There's been much discussion over the years regarding radiation from cell phones and now wifi, but never anything regarding the cordless phones which are so widely used. If there was merit to this issue I would imagine the cancer rate would have zoomed since cordless phones were introduced, which was long before cell phones became commonplace. | |

| I think we need to treat this like any public service. These idiots have pressed their unfounded views around here locally too. It is time to treat cell phone towers and wi fi as necessary services just like water, power and telephone.
Quite correctly, I cannot stop the telephone co, the water co and the electric co from running wire, pipes etc for their services and I cannot prevent them from accessing their poles and cables in my back yard.
This is for the public good and we need to change the laws to keep up with the 21st century. | |

| Wrong Illness These claims that (insert wireless technology here) cause allergic reactions have nothing to do with physical illness. This is classic attention-seeking behavior. If any of these people that were making these bogus claims were to see a psychologist just one time, the psychologist would tell you that.
The only illness these people have is psychological, maybe psychiatric. -- There comes a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and wiping everyone's ass. But its not giving up.

| Wifi fear is just another imaginary monster I must assure the public that there is nothing to worry about EM signals. More accurately, there is nothing that you can do about EM signals.
Radiation comes from everywhere, from the sky (at literally all directions), from the ground, every electronic device and even from the fire in your kitchen. Natural source of radiation is far stronger and prevalent in causing cancer than anything manmade.Even if they are dangerous, you cannot avoid it.
Thus, there is no place on earth, where you can avoid it, so a little more radiation here and there doesn't contribute much. As for those statistics, they don't mean anything because their result are not significant by statistical terms.
I agree that ionizations are more important than power in causing cancer. No common devices however are able emit radiations in those wavelenghts (the smaller the wavelenghts, the easier it is to knock electrons ~ is equivalent to ionization). Not mentioning the amount of doses required.
They might be more rational to be afraid of ghost than they should of common radiation. At least ghost cannot be proven to exist, radiation phobia however is simply stupid due to the abundance of science supporting common items safety levels. | |
