Electronic force fields

A couple of evenings ago we went to help our son with dinner and putting kids to bed because Cheryl was away. My husband wanted to take a look at his (son's) new website, so opened the laptop, only to find there was no connection to the web.

Turned out our son had been doing some research into the effects of wifi emanations and had decided to limit these. He switches off completely overnight, and he intends to get a timer for the days so they can keep the wifi on for as short a time as possible.

Something of the disturbances that electronic force fields create we already know. For e.g., they interfere with the birds' migrations, and it's becoming clear that this applies to butterflies as well. Many people believe this is why our bee population is under threat.

So I would recommend caution. Dial-up connection was okay, cable not too bad, but broadband/wifi affects us in ways we cannot yet tell or measure. For our tender, tiny ones, it's a good idea to switch off as often as you can.
