Where exactly are you guys getting your information from?

There is still some debate over the safety of the use of Wi-Fi.

But like Pete said, there's lots of other radio waves going through the air, wi-fi being a small concern. Still, it's an interesting idea...

I wouldn't worry about wi-fi the signal shouldn't be able to send a significant current in your nervous system, and you can tell that small wifi s don't use much electricity seeing that they rely on transformers to reduce voltage, and so the electromagnetic waves must not have significant strength to induce a significant current without amplifying it,

however I see a still see a plausibly threat in electromagnetic waves over ones life span but only in significant waves over extended periods of time like that radio station nearby (it is so strong that many of our speakers can conduct enough of the signal to play the news), or bluetooth :shock: those are scary the phone is attached to you for hours, finally I've heard about development of wireless power strips primarily for your entertainment center (tv,game console, dvd, vcr) I wouldn't recomend buying them those gotta radiate really intense electromagnetic radiation to power all your devices, and your TV at which many people spend hours at and the power is still going even when the other stuff is turned off so you waste power too

does he turn your modem off? If he doesn't then just plug your pc right into the modem at night.

Re-wire your internet system like I did, I suck ast electronics but the cables inside the cable are colour coded.
