Who would have thought that little transmissions through the air could cause health problems. Apparently, technology confused old people that live in the UK would. Several schools have begun removing wireless routers and access points in order to protect the brains of their little school girls and boys. No word yet on whether or not they realize that wireless networks use radio frequencies, and operate on the same spectrum as amateur radio users (they all seem fine… relatively). The only additional piece of information that you should probably know- London is smothered with Wi-FI coverage:
My favorite part of the article:
One London resident said she removed Wi-Fi systems from her home after having strange symptoms like unexplained lethargy. She told the British newspaper she no longer suffers after the removal of the systems from her home. She is now urging her children’s schools to remove the systems, the Independent reported.
