Are they bringing back the cancer from cell phones and stuff thing?

I dont think wifi is problem because the transmitter is maybe a milliwat?
and your microwave is 1000watts

If you should worry about em rad theres satolites above you, tv and radio transmitters, phones
we live fine so it shouldnt be a problem

I’d be more concerned with the large amount of non-visual radiation spewing from the sun.

This sort of thing has been going around/discussed for decades. Radiation from high-voltage power lines, cell-phones, wi-fi? As an engineer, specializing in RF (radio frequencies), there just isn’t a problem…(Now, I wouldn’t put my wireless router’s antenna up my nose…) The equations to determine effective radiated power (e.r.p.) are quite simple – do the math. Wi-fi devices are incredibly low power (transmitters) to begin with, and when you add inefficient (small) antennas to the mix, there isn’t much “there”. Please also remember that the amount of power radiated falls off as the SQUARE of distance: it’s not a linear relationship. (In simpler terms, the farther away you get from a radiating source (antenna), the less RF will be seen by a receiver. More specifically: The amount of RF (available) drops like a stone the farther away you get.) I worry more about standing too close to the microwave because the door seal isn’t adequate

Hmm, could be onto something there. A geeky man’s birth control perhaps?

I keep my cell phone hanging from my pocket, in hopes that it will render me sterile

Funny… others have expressed the same hope.
