Well, I actually believe mobile/cell phones can probably cause damage to us.

Thing is, there are always many experiments from both independant and phone company backed groups.
Phone company bosses would probably kill, lie, cheat and create false information to prevent ANY chance of an independant test gaining credibility.

Think about it? It would cost them all Billions if any mainstream news station actually cared about public interest.

Anyway, I'm not sure about the waves used in WiFi but I know mobile phones' are close to microwaves.
And there hasn't even been enough time to actually prove things either way....but I'm just not taking the chance with my best swimmers. So my phone is always away from my pockets.

That's a very cynical view, and precisely why this garbage gets started. You're welcome to your opinion, but microwave physics haven't changed in the past, oh, say billion years, and I'm pretty sure human physiology hasn't changed that much since the inception of Wifi/Cell Phones/Etc. Cell phones can go batty because of Solar Flares which are EXTREMELY high emissions of electromagnetic waves which propogate through space (most are deflected by our atmosphere), so technically, shouldn't solar flares be hurting us more than cellphones? They do. If you were on the moon during a solar flare and did not have a way to dissipate the radiation, chances are you would get radiation poisoning and die on the spot. We're lucky to have the upper atmosphere to deflect most of it, and even THEN, cell phones can go haywire because of these waves.

Do your research. There are tons more electromagnetic phenomena at work besides your cell phones and Wifi. Saying the effects are likely to cause cancer, etc. is like saying that getting your picture taken by a camera will steal your soul. Researchers just wanted their 15 minutes:

we better store up on food and water and build bomb shelters for when the global warming makes the world go all crazy while destroying everything with wifi.

so... if cell phone waves are kinda like micro waves, you can put 10000 phones in a room and cook a meatloaf with them?

Oh my god......... pictures steal your soul?!

Why didn't anyone tell me this!!!!!

Yes, and spontaneous generation is possible. Oh yea, and bloodletting cures headaches!

That is scary!!! Now I am forced to wonder about my reproductive health after months/years of using my WiFi laptop on my... well.. lap! LOL

=D You should REALLY worry about the incredibly hot CPU that's sitting on your ever-important parts MUCH more than the wifi. ^_- Because we KNOW that'll fry reproductive health.

Erm, roflcopters?

and gaming rots ur brain and TV makes u blind o_O

Well...im screwed...anyone else?

That's why the next generation in Japan is going to be -ALOT- less than what it is going to be here.

And, according to my old photography teacher, cellphones, if used for a prolonged amount of time can, indeed, cause some form of ear damage... But only if you keep on talking on it for a long time... >_>
