VIDEO LECTURE - Wireless wake-up call - 11th April, 2020


VIDEO LECTURE - Wireless wake-up call | Jeromy Johnson (TEDxBERKLEY)

- 16 Minutes

SPECIAL NOTE: Around 2007 or so, while working for a healthcare magazine I came across an article on the harms and certain precautions with regards to "Electromagnetic waves". It opened my eyes then and I became more careful on how to use mobile phones and other wireless gadgets. 

In the recent past, we have now also started using Wifi heavily. Is Wifi safe or does it carry harmful effects on health? This is a brilliant lecture on use of wireless technology even if it's from 2016. It has guidelines for both the consumers and the industry!

The speaker points out that studies funded by industry portray less harms of all this technology while studies funded by non-industry elements show higher harms associated with this technology. So we need to be careful as industry lacks high ethics and will adopt every possible measure to sell its products !!
