Three Diseases That Are Actually Cultural Memes - Uproxx
For most of us, easy access to WiFi is a good thing. Not, however, to people convinced they’re allergic to the magic new technology of 802.11b. They claim to have electromagnetic hypersensitivity, so if you could stop using your computer, smartphone and everything else, that’d be great.
The problem is this: The vast majority of those claiming problems blamed modern technologies like mobile phone towers and WiFi hotspots, saying the reaction was most intense around these technologies. Which would make sense except these are nothing more than radio towers, which aren’t exactly a new technology when it comes to applying electromagnetic fields.
Apparently these people have been going around getting blasted by much higher energy from Your Source For Rock From The ’80s, ’90s, and Today without any sort of problem, and yet the library’s low power radio is somehow giving them a rash. Literally, in case you were wondering.
It’s getting to the point where they’re moving to towns like Green Bank, WV in swarms to get away from WiFi signals. Yes, being scared of the future can literally make you sick.
