Can Wireless Internet Damage Your Brain?

that article makes me worry about sitting with my legs too close together :confused:

However, I don't own a laptop - laptop gaming is even more expensive than desktop gaming.

Laptops do affect male fertility if placed on the lap however :eek: :eek:

:D . Ok I may be a bit paranoid about wifi taking over your brain but even I wouldn't take "laptop destorying your fertility by placing on your lap" seriously. :p Everyone knows a laptop produces heat and that it would probably be not a good idea to boil yourself to infertility by keeping it on your lap constantly.

But seriously there is somthing more sinister about wifi, I mean we can't see it or feel it which is enough for some people to discount it as casuing any affect, but do we really fully understand how energy waves affect the cells in our body. You are correct it was panorama that had this documentry, i'm sure those of us who watched it will maybe give the scientists who were explaining this idea a bit more credibilty.
 
As I said, there's loads of natural radiation, all over the spectrum and in some places they are very very high. Cornwall/jersey ect. People seem to live there fine.

Also on panorama those readings they took where 600 times lower than the national guidelines. not 6 or even 60 but 600

Enjoy your WiFi. :) But remember if you use your laptop on the beach get in some shade. :)

Heh, thanks for posting the link. Some say that it does cause an affect and some say that it doesn't. :confused: I also found it interesting that the head of the health agency who is responsible for setting the acceptable levels of wifi radiation is also an ex senior personel of one of the giant mobile phone corporations. ;)

the same is true of the Radio though. It's just that with wifi, the electromagnetic fields are wobbling a bit faster or something.

Nope laptops on laps aint good as it warms up the friends below, nothing to do with radiation. :)

Still insignificant. Quite a large contributing factor in (western) male decreasing fertility is oral contraceptive pill run-off in tap water I think.

Coupled with underwear (tight), cycling, a lack of fitness and obesity really puts us in a bad place.
 
I watched the Panorama show. I wish, when he had taken that woman to the 'safe house' that he went into the kitchen and pretended to plug in a router. As a blind test. I bet any money she would say she could feel it, until he told her he hadn't done anything bar make a drink.
 
proper studies takes years or decades, mobile has been what? popular in the last 10 years? and router 5 years? and they are only start going on about it now, until someone does a control 10 years studies all these speculation are just that.
 
To be honest why bother waiting for scientific evidence all the time, most of the time it is completly useless, a bit of common sense is all that is needed in these things. I would just carry on using WiFi myself but maybe with kids I would probably not send them to a school that used WiFi in the classroom if there was an alternative school available.

Also in Sweeden and a lot of other European countries WiFi is actually banned in schools enless every single parent is ok with it, and there is actually a medical condition associated with the affects of wifi and other things which transmit waves.

In the UK though what most people don't realise is that our governemnt will do anything that Big Business tells it, why do you think Gordon Brown reduced Corporation tax by two percent this budget while raiding most normal people for more money. Tony Blair isn't just George Bush's poodle. :D
 
Mobile phones/Wifi only emit very small amounts of radio waves, thus producing very small amounts or RF radiation and electromagnetic fields. People are always bringing out these studies but many are inconclusive, not scientifically accurate or not goverment backed, which is why there is still no official report on the dangers.

Tbh i cant see how general wifi is at all harmful, unless youve got a transmitter strapped to your head or something, as what they are concerned with is the heating up of tissue caused by long term exposure to high frequencies. But even then wifi APs and NICs still only produce minute amounts compared to radio towers.

As raymond has said, it takes a very long time and a lot of money to carry out proper tests. But by the time they come to a conclusion, things have probably changed anyway.

no scientific evidence to show it does. background radiation in places like Cornwall are many times higher than radiation from phones/wi-fi. due to the granite. they been living there fine for humm well ever. slightly diffrent type of radiation, but the same sort of thing at the end of the day.

I know a guy from cornwall. Radiation would certainly explain why he's the way he is.
 
I certainly wouldn't trust a word the government says on this issue. The fact that the limits they have set are based on completely the wrong factors. Actaully scrap that I woundn't trust a word they say, period.

I have no problem with wi-fi to be honest, but one must consider the long term affects of this ever increasing RF pollution we "have" to live in.

I heard something about tetra masts, and how they operate on the same wavelength as the human brain. Now whats all that about? Some people wonder why more and more people are becomming mentally ill, and then that manifests into physical illness.

If you think RF has no effect on the human body, then I totally disagree.
