A group of people in New Mexico claim that they are “allergic” to WiFi signals. They are trying to get WiFi removed from all public buildings and guess where they are starting? Libraries.
So that’s why people aren’t going libraries! They don’t get headaches from trying to figure out our catalogs or navigate our poorly designed sites. It’s the free WiFi! Maybe libraries should pass out tin-foil hats. Or would that just amplify the signal?
As crazy as this sounds, there are many people who claim to be electro-sensitive. My question for this group is why focus on WiFi? There have been tons of other signals bombarding us for decades. And if there really is something in the 2.4GHz range that affects people, why should this be treated differently than any other allergen? Should we remove all other sources of pollen and dander in cities? Seriously, many people suffer from and have to manage their allergies. Why would a WiFi allergy be any different?
Before these people start attacking libraries for providing a free, needed service, they should check their own neighborhood. I bet a few of their neighbors are leaking some sickening WiFi from their homes.
