What I cant understand is why they would want to go against such
technology as wifi if it was not a real worry. I thought wifi was a
step forward. Any way... thanks for all of your responses.


There are still some descendants of the Luddites who feel any technological
advancement is bad, simply on principle.

Some people are just scared that the new technology will be too complicated
for them to learn, others are convinced that the new technology will
*always* make things worse and long for the days of yore (normally the
result of some very rose tinted history).

Some people are genuinely convinced that EM radiation at the levels used by
WiFi, Mobile telecoms, radios, microwave cookers etc., are actually harmful.

Look through sci.physics and you can find a large number (i.e. not zero) of
people who cling to all manner of crackpot ideas about gravity, light etc.
(I notice few, if any, rant about the nuclear forces... are they too
complicated for the crackpots?)
