WiFi rots your brain?

My take: Bwahahahaaaa! Someone needs a tinfoil hat. While it is possible to slowly heat up flesh with Wi-Fi, the amount of power that a typical Wi-Fi accesspoint is usually on the scale of 100milliwatts. Its actually illegal to operate equipment above 1 directional watt. (4 watts in military applications)

There is actually much more daily radiation from an average and leaky microwave, and much more for anyone who stands in front of - or in the immediate proximity of a satellite dish for a short period of time (which must pump signals 36 thousand kilometers).

The sun puts out 1300 watts per square meter of broad spectrum radiation.

BTW: Satellite dish installers are warned when working all day around industrial 10 watt directional LNBs of possible retinal detachment if you don't wear the proper eyewear. Its the same type of eye injury as dehydration over a day or two, or staring at the sun for a while.

Paranoia has won the day.

these days, you either have to live in a place with zero technology, or accept the fact that you might not live as long - or better yet - as long at 100% as you had hoped.

I think it's justified paranoia.. too many things have come around and later we discover how truly harmful they are.

I wonder if you would have been the guy sleeping in an absestos bed 50yrs ago laughing that someone is too paranoid to even use the stuff to insulate their hot water heater. ;)
