University bans wi-fi over health fears – Mobile & Wireless – Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com — Please send your used tinfoil hats to Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The president of Lakehead University, Fred Gilbert, recently took the decision to use wired internet connections rather than wi-fi as he believes health risks associated with the technology are yet to be entirely disproved.
Studies… have shown the electromagnetic forces used in wi-fi may be carcinogenic in animals.Gilbert reportedly said while he remains president of the university, the college will not adopt wi-fi – citing the existence of studies which have shown the electromagnetic forces used in wi-fi may be carcinogenic in animals.
Lakehead U. is in Canada. Fred Gilbert though, hails from Colorado.
I unplug my wireless router at night. I figure a little less going through the air won’t hurt, and it might be better.
Looking at his picture you can see hes stoned on Alice b.’s brownies.
This guys on a power trip. Its all about control.
Thier is more harmful radiaton from electrical lines and TVs than thier is from Wi Fi.
In addition,
Thier are more
health risks associated with the crackpot campus food than Wi-Fi technology.
How do idiots like him rise to be president of of a University?
I’m slightly offended by negative comments directed towards lakehead, rather than being directed towards Gilbert.
I go to lakehead. Fundamentally, the university is the same as any other. Prof’s at our school have the same doctoral degrees as at other universities. They regularly publish and obtain research grants. They are actively involved in contributing to their academic fields. Per capita, our students maintain some of the highest marks on standardized tests, such as the LSAT…etc. You will rarely find a class with over 50 students. The prof’s are very approachable. At certain times, some have even had students over for christmas and ‘end-of-year’ parties. Overall, the education is good. It’s a small school with a close departamental kinship.
Bottom-line…The school provides a cheap, bare-bones education without any of the ‘bells and whistles’. Though located in a crappy town, it sits on the shore of the largest lake in the world, surrounded by billions of trees, hundreds of rivers, and countless animals. There is no where else that you can obtain a quality education in a setting like this. Look at a map. We are isolated, but that’s a good thing!
Why trash Lakehead for Gilbert’s apparent unorthodox position? He admitted it was his “personal” decision. The campus is already extensively wired with fiber-optics and may not even need Wi-Fi for security reasons.
Gilbert wasn’t even educated in Thunder Bay. He merely works there as a university president. Why not blame Acadia and Guelph, the universities from which he obtained his undergraduate and graduate degrees? Who put these crazy ideas into his head anyway?
If the honey bees disappear totally man would be like the dinosaurs done in 5 years
Wow! That is stupid. You know what else is stupid? They say that the earth is getting warmer and it’s because we use too much oil! They call it global warming, but we all know it’s just weather! They say that McDonald’s food can make you fat, but we know that’s because some people’s genes just make them that way! They say that autism is on the rise! What a bunch of bunk! It’s just that doctors in the 1970s were too blind to diagnose it and now they can. What will these over cautious knuckleheads!!
