WiFi Can Kill Me? Whatever!

A scientific study was conducted finding that if WiFi connections were ever found to damaged a persons health, that people would not modify their usage of the technology.

I say that not to be flip or suggest that people shouldn’t care about the health effects of Wi-Fi — only to point out that people, in fact, generally don’t care. [For example] dozens of very solid studies have shown very significant health risks associated with using cell phones. Putting a cell phone to your ear apparently “cooks” your brain a bit and may increase the likelihood of cancer. Has all that research changed user behavior? Hardly.

The author continues to point out that researchers are beginning to point out negative health consequences of WiFi and its similarities to cellular radiation – and nobody simply cares.

    No studies have shows that cell phones are bad for your brain.
    Only infomercials claim that to sell those cellphone radiation blockers.

    In fact they have a long time running study of organic material right next to an active cell phone to find out if anything will happen, so far after like 6 years straight, nothing.

    Anything that has a long term health effect, as in you won’t suffer the ramifications for almost a lifetime, people will hardly pay any attention to.

    Such things like cigarettes (lung cancer), cellphone radiation (brain tumor), masturbation (blindness) etc. those kinds of things…
