WiFi Experiment Done By A Group Of 9th Grade Students Got Serious International Attention. THIS Is Why…

This is not conclusive evidence. I'd like to see more proof supporting this, but it does make you think.

Reminds me of all the studies and reports in the late 90s and early 2000s that said mobile phone use was going to drive up the frequency of brain cancer.

The huge discrepancy actually makes me more suspicious than anything. Wifi has been very common in US residences for over a decade, and if a standard power home router consistently causes that much of an issue "in the wild," I have to think it would have been noticed by now in this paranoid and litigious society.

The source is a site that has a real bone to pick with networking in general

Wifi routers are not the same frequency as cell phones and have a lot more power than a cell phone too.

Snopes showed there have not been any other tests and the original is a bit fuzzy to start with.

You would think it would be a great science fair experiment to do with different things, like running a microwave oven, a router and have stuff in a Faraday cage to block as much radiation as possible.

So they put it next to a router that was probably pumping out a bunch of hot, dry air and then made the leap that it was caused by wifi?

Thanks, but I need to see a study that compares the sperm count of those cress seeds to really be sure.
