Wi-fi bad for your health?

Wi-fi worry

tinfoil hats and such?

No wonder I keep dreaming about IP addresses recently.

They made a movie about this...

I think it was called "Scanners"

I believe wi-fi to have effects on the brain. It seems that when I'm around a wifi hotspot, I see vivid imagery in my mind of pr0n pics and random forwarded emails. It's really getting annoying because it's cheap pr0n. I'd rather see the good stuff that you have to pay for.

With the amount of radio waves around us anymore, it's a miracle we don't all have 4 arms and 2 heads!

Funny how they've been using their cordless phones for decades with no problems.

Any form of radiation/waves is bad for you! microwaves, CRTs, wi-fi, bluetooth, cellphones all leak/generate waves that are absorbed by your body, and the cell's normal state is affected even if only a tiny bit.

I do in fact have forearms and 2 heads.

"... typical exposures from wi-fi are around 20 millionths of the international guideline levels of exposure to radiation. As a comparison, a child on a mobile phone receives up to 50 per cent of guideline levels ..."

At least the article recognizes that there is but anecdotal evidence. However, they should have gone a step farther and waited for a peer reviewed study before raising the alarm.

They do realize that there are radio waves from various sources and strengths hitting you pretty much every second of every day right?

I hear some funny stories regarding what guests have to say about WiFi since we have it in public areas onboard.

While I won't go into detail, one specific rant stands out because this person honestly believed that all the things that people look at on the internet (the term farm animal was used) get transmitted through the air and pass through our bodies and build up bad things. They felt that's what is wrong with people and why they do the things they do, etc. It was quite hilarious but scary was they were completely serious.

just wrap your router in tinfoil and you will be ok

You should probably look at what kind of radiation they are being exposed to, radio waves are too wide to affect your genetic structure on an atomic level, and thus cannot cause many of the problems that people associate with them.
