Hi, Wireless wireless... all this talk about going wireless.
Years ago, I worked at a cable tv station which had the regular receiver disks, but also since it was the main studio, and mother ship, also had several huge transmitters. We use to call the big dishes out back "our grills for the annual company weeny roast". Sort of a sick joke, since we were always a bit frightened by all that dangerous radioactivity right next to our work area, and what it would do to our bodies over time. So it sort of amazes me, now it is 20 years later,and that the technology has reached the public, en mass, that people want to go wireless, wireless wireless, on every single electronic device in their home. We now have Remotes, Hubs, Transceivers, transmitters, for TVs cameras, Computers, etc etc. All those radio waves zapping around! Gosh, doesn't anyone ever think about what all these compound radio waves can do to the body anymore? Especially the long term effect upon delicate little children...? After working in the electronics industry (and quite frankly knowing more a half dozen high-tech computer friends, who have passed away in their 40s and 50s from weird tumors and cancers) coincidence? I dunno! ?? So, I gotta put in my 2c on this one.... B careful of going too far, and making EVERYTHING wireless in your home- (especially the higher-powered electronics!!!) ... unless you don't mind turning your home into a giant microwave toaster.) :::feel the sizzle?:::: Sometimes old-fashioned cables can be a better thing instead.
