Put on your tinfoil topi, UK experts may urge

Medical experts say that Wifi radiation may harm kids and this has been played down by spin in the UK as Gordon Brown is bringing in the $$$s for sanctioning its use. Or with the flop of the greenback, should that now be IRupeeIRupeeIRupees ? (though I have to admit that does not seem to look so well in print).

Loads of URLs on the web, just GoogleNews (wifi radiation) or read the BBC articles, say.

3% of people are believed electrosensitive and tests apparently show they can actually detect wifi radiation in the amounts normally emitted. I have a research interest in synaesthesia and can see links could exist, but I know of no proven results to date.

It is reasonable that wifi radiation could be dangerous and that fact may be pinpointed if these sensitives can be successfully tested further, There ae also numerous important philosophical and neurological implications. Certainly there is a lot we do not yet know about the brain.

In Switzerland, Italy, Russia and China, for example, I believe that high intensity WiFi as in the UK is forbidden.

Sir William Stewart, chairman of the Health Protection Agency, has called for a review of the health risks of wireless technology after an investigation into its effects on children.

IMO: I do not use WiFi at home for a variety of reasons, the above being one of them.
