Television hysteria about the dangers of WiFi

This has not yet reached Russia, but European TV channels are already exploiting another pseudoscientific myth about the dangers of WiFi electromagnetic radiation. This is another manifestation of “technological paranoia” typical of ordinary people (such as “dead water”, traditional medicine and other anti-scientific phenomena). Since technophobia is firmly rooted in the mass consciousness, journalists are intensively exploiting this topic.

Technophobia is particularly acute in women under the influence of maternal instinct. They seek to protect their children from any mythical threat. For example, in the UK it came to the point that hot spots in schools were banned at the request of mothers.

Scientists confusedly admit that it is impossible to provide evidence of the harmlessness of any kind of technology and try not to conflict with their mothers.

Television continues to escalate hysteria. On the British BBC channel, this topic is raised so often that experts are already talking about targeted propaganda against WiFi , hinting that it can be beneficial for someone. For example, manufacturers of "protective" equipment make their profits. Perhaps, mobile operators also secretly pay for such propaganda.

Recently, a very odious story about the “deadly” properties of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) was shown on the BBC. About the dangers of WiFi in this story told an expert who actually heads the company for the sale of "protective" equipment. In the range there are even protective caps .

Incidentally, the aforementioned storyline was critically perceived not only by experts understanding the topic, but also by other journalists, because the rules of journalistic ethics do not allow using such biased experts under the guise of “ordinary engineers”, as was said on television.

Perhaps it is under the influence of mass hysteria that people appear that are physically incompatible with high-tech , who have a serious allergy to EMR. According to some doctors, this can be classified as psychosomatic disorders.
