Update January 2019: The Comcast Xfinity stores in the San Francisco Bay Area are now offering two different modems with no WiFi capabilities to any customer that asks (possibly because of a class action lawsuit that has been filed and because many customers want to use their own router). The non-WiFi modem options available are… Read More
WiFi Backlash Trend Accelerating
Cafe owners in Sydney are realizing that “Free WiFi” comes at a cost. As The Syndey Morning Herald reports, cafes are starting to limit or ban WiFi so that people will actually have real interactions. It’s economic too – allowing one customer to purchase a $3 coffee and take up a table for five for hours on… Read More
Can We Create New Senses for Humans?
This recent TED talk by David Eagleman is mind opening – literally. He speaks to how humans and animals perceive their environment. He then shows a technology he has developed that allows deaf people to “hear” and that may allow all humans to perceive more. I tend to be skeptical of TED’s unquestioning emphasis on… Read More
Hotel Offers WiFi Kill Switch
This is certainly a positive development. . . The future of hotels is here, and there is much less WiFi.

The hotel has put a copper… Read More

Wireless Empire Strikes Back
This week the New York Times published an article questioning the safety of wearable wireless devices such as the new Apple Watch. I thought the tech writer, Nick Bilton, wrote a thoughtful piece that pointed out some issues with wireless technology. Namely, that we probably shouldn’t be wearing microwave radiation transmitters on our bodies all day…. Read More

Berkeley Church Cell Tower
Is nothing sacred? The St. Ambrose Catholic Church on Gilman Street in Berkeley has tentatively agreed to allow AT&T to put a new 4G cell phone tower in its steeple. Considering many residents of the community are opposed to the cell tower, this church is certainly not acting like a good neighbor. By now, most… Read More
TEDx Talk on Willful Blindness
This excellent video explains why humans often do not see a problem that is right in front of their eyes. It’s a world-wide human phenomenon that relates to nearly every public health issue we have ever faced. EMF pollution is no different. For those of us who are paying attention, the signs are now obvious: 1.) Thousands of… Read More
