Free Wireless Internet Access: Is it Worth the Radiation Exposure?

Ana Kirk
It can't be denied that wireless Internet routers figure among the devices which emit electromagnetic radiation in order to send signals to computers. However, some affirm that radiation exposure within a free wireless Internet access environment is so low that it shouldn't be cause for any concern. They point out that there's radiation from various natural sources all around such as the sun, but, others respond that the hammering effects on the body of radiation generated by man's actions are not the same as naturally occurring radiation. Those who are intelligent enough to care for the only body they've been given to dwell on Earth do well to remain suspicious of the accuracy and motives of the people who want to quiet discussions about the effects of radiation exposure. Why? First, people who have a duty to be concerned about the health of others are issuing official warnings regarding the possible health destroying effects of exposure to radiation. They are scientists, government officials, and medical doctors.

In the article, "Germany Warns Citizens To Avoid Using Wi-Fi," by Geoffrey Lean, it's revealed that the German government has strongly advised its people to keep their exposure to wi-fi "as low as possible." Free wireless Internet access contributes to "electrosmog" which is inching closer to becoming a declared risk to the health of Earth's inhabitants. Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute also warns against a careless attitude regarding radiation exposure from devices such as cell phones in the article, "Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns Of Risk From Cell Phone Use." He basically states that although studies are still being conducted on the effects of exposure to radiation, based on what is known, activities such as cell phone usage and wi-fi are potential health hazards. Another physician has observed health problems such as sleep disturbances, migraines, and heart palpitations caused by radiation exposure according to, "Wi-Fi Health Dangers And Radiation Health Effects."

There's a saying that goes, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Indeed, people should learn from history. How long had commercial cigarettes wreaked havoc on the health of smokers and non-smokers exposed to second-hand smoke before it was declared that they cause cancer? Many years. Did they not say that Rome couldn't fall and that the Titanic couldn't sink? The list of so-called protections, security, harmless things and activities could go on and on. Common sense was given by God before scientific knowledge could even be obtained; it is not to cease to be active once someone is educated; the past is not to be forgotten, and careless attitudes have led to preventable sickness and disease and premature death and destruction.

Free wireless Internet access can be a great convenience especially when traveling, but more people are now starting to question their health problems that persists despite a more healthy diet and the effects of exposure to radiation from wireless routers, cell phones, and many other modern devices. This doesn't mean that most people will instantly cease to use a cell phone, bluetooth technology, or wireless Internet. But, they are beginning to limit their exposure to such devices by returning to conventional wired Internet access, land-line phone usage, and traditional cooking methods instead of reliance upon microwave ovens.
