research is being conducted.. this is true.. but research for similar devices has been going on for years. Chordless phones have been around for quite some time now. I'm pretty sure they know that they don't harm you too much, if at all.

WiFi isn't as insane as cell phones, and as far as i know, it's not even that strong. My college has it, and you can only get a signal from it as long as you are within about 20-30 feet of the device sending the signal. They have it placed all over the college, so you can connect pretty much anywhere.

If anything, it will have long term affects, which would mean that all humans are fucked, not just the kids going to that school.

Pretty soon, probably all you are going to need is a card taht you hook up to your computer, and bam, you have an internet connection. I would be much more frightened of those radio waves, since they have to be a lot stronger to travel great distances.

Also, what about satellite signals for television and satellite internet, or the power lines that go through these peoples towns. Or how about the toxic fumes leaking out of the streets from peoples shit and piss. What about neon lights.. those are pretty scary. Have you heard the sounds they make?

I'm gonig to sue the school for using neon lights, having the school near power lines and streets where peoples shit roams, for having windows that are open to the pollution outside, and for building a school somewhere where the sun shines on the kids during class and breaks.

Imagine if these stupid ass parents win though? That would mean that no schools would be able to use wireless technology in the states. I would feel sorry for you guys.

I do have a question for you americans though. I work for a major OEM and i deal with US customers, and it seems that 90% of the people that call have dialup internet. Now, here in canada, i'm pretty sure that 90% of the people have high speed, because it's basically the same price, and less of a hastle, unless you for some reason have two phone lines, which in turn would end up costing you more than high speed.

I'm just wondering. Is the reason why no one in the states has high speed the price issue? Is it a lot more there for high speed? Or is it because i talk to people who don't know what they are doing, and i'm actually totally wrong, and most people do have high speed, just not the elderly ladies that i talk to.

Just a question i was curious about.
