Some consumer groups in the United Kingdom are concerned that Wi-Fi signals may be harmful to young children and have convinced the a U.K. public health advisor to take on a $600,000 study to determine if the signals can harm health, according to an article posted by telegraph.co.uk. The groups are concerned that Wi-Fi signals, which "are very low power, typically 0.1 watt in both the computer and the router," according to the article, could affect children in classrooms where the Wi-Fi signals are emitted to experience "fatigue, memory and concentration problems, irritability and bad behaviour." And that would be different from . . . ?

Yet another offering to the twin temples of Non-Causality and Junk Science.
A Merry Wag | Wednesday, October 17, 2007 | 07:36 AMI hope the U.K. gets a good return on the investment. Let me guess the outcome... Wi-Fi frequencies are responsible for bad children... not bad parenting. One can only hope the radio and TV frequencies are included in the study. I'm getting ill just thinking about all the horrible TV shows frequencies that are going through me right now. Then I think about the good shows and I feel better. Didn't the US already spend millions on studing high power tension lines and their link to cancer? No link BTW.
