WiFi Emits Radio Requencies

PART 4: Wi-Fi Emits Radio Frequencies

Wireless connections emit radio frequency signals, or radiation, just

like cell phones, cell phone towers and other wireless devices. Wi-Fi

usually transmits its signal at frequencies in the range of 2.4GHz to

5 GHz. Cordless phones often transmit in the 2.4GHz to 5 GHz range,

too, and this often causes the cordless phone to interfere with a

wireless internet connection to a nearby computer. The Wi-Fi frequency

is considerably higher than the frequencies used for cell

phones which operate in the 850 MHz to 1900 MHz range. This

higher frequency allows more data to be carried. However, as

we'll see later, it is not the frequency of the signal that

does the damage to our health. So the higher Wi-Fi frequency

isn't really the issue at all when it comes to health

considerations.

How Does WiFi Work?

PART 3: How does Wi-Fi work?

Wi-Fi is really very similar to your cell phone. Radio signals are
transmitted from the computer or Bluetooth device to a wireless
router, sometimes called a wireless access point (WAP) or wireless
local area network (WLAN).

The router then sends the signal to the
Internet through a cable modem. So this router or wireless access
point is really the device responsible for transmitting the harmful
radio waves. Any number of computers or devices can be configured to
connect to one wireless router to make Internet connections.

The workable distance is about a range of 300 feet or more from the
wireless access point while most distances for good connections are
maintained at about 100 feet. And, of course there are many
variables that can affect this connection. Laptop computers and
Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are the most common devices
utilizing Wi-Fi technology.

WiFi Hotspots Now in Schools

PART 5: Wi-Fi Hotspots Now In Schools

Wi-Fi has become popular in the home, office, the airport and coffee

shops. Many cities are now installing "hot spots" where one can take a

laptop computer and freely access the Internet over the provided

network. This is what is known as a "hot spot." It's a place to make a

wireless connection to the Internet. And they are springing up

everywhere. Entire cities are becoming wireless allowing one to

connect to the Internet from anywhere in the city. And due to the ease

of convenience Wi-Fi connections in schools are now becoming quite

popular, too. No longer are computers hard-wired to a connection in a

classroom. Connections are now virtual and allow the user,

student or teacher, the freedom to connect anywhere in the

school without the burden of being restricted by cable

connections.

What a great idea. Or is it?


PART 2: What exactly is Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is a common term that stands for 'wireless fidelity.' It simply means that a computer can access the Internet without wires or cables.

In other words, it allows one to have a wireless connection to the Internet. It's like taking a cell phone base station and placing it in your home, schoolroom or office area. Wi-Fi is basically the same type of connection as used to operate a cell phone. It's a product of convenience as it allows one to access the Internet with a desktop or

laptop computer without the need for connecting cables. Moving from room to room with a laptop computer and no cables is a nice convenience although it certainly isn't a necessity.

Wi-fi and Wi-max - Why You Shouldn't Use Them



By Lynn Quiring

PART 1: The hot new craze in Internet access is Wi-Fi and its soon-to- be big

brother Wi-Max. Wi-Fi is a wireless connection that allows users to

access the Internet without the computer being connected to a cable.

And yes, it's very convenient. Imagine walking from the sofa to the

bedroom with your laptop and never loosing your connection. Imagine

the freedom and flexibility afforded schools and office workers. No

more ugly bothersome cables to tie you down. You're free to roam the Internet with your fingers while roaming your home, school or office with your feet. Freedom to move and freedom to surf. Perfect for the individual who is on the go and up to date with the latest

technology. You can even have free Internet access at your

local coffee shop. Same for airports.

BIOPRO i-Glow – A Breakthrough Solution to Fight Skin Aging

Environmental Toxins and their Impact on Skin Aging

According to a study published in the scientific journal Biogerontology, the skin is particularly sensitive to environmental stress. Environmental factors have been shown to cause major changes in both the structure and biophysical properties of the skin, and air pollution, water pollution, as well as electromagnetic radiation have been termed major “factors of premature aging.” Simply put,hormones, environmental toxins including electropollution, and ultimately stress can all disrupt the natural balance and beauty of our skin, as well as accelerate our aging process. So why does this occur?

Free Radicals are Aging us Quickly

Over a period of time of your skin constantly being exposed to damaging environmental factors, free radicals are produced. They are known to feed off of naturally occurring antioxidants found within the body. L.A. based dermatologist Jessica Wu, MD says the following about free radicals: “Excessive free-radical exposure damages the skin by destroying DNA (damaged DNA is responsible for pre-cancers and skin cancer) and cell membranes that help keep the skin intact, plump and firm. When cell membranes are disrupted or destroyed, skin cells can no longer perform their normal functions like processing nutrients and eliminating waste products,” says Los Angeles dermatologist Jessica Wu, MD. Pollution can also trigger inflammation and activate the enzymes that destroy collagen and elastic tissue, resulting in thin, wrinkled, rough, and blotchy skin. “Some people notice that their skin reacts to pollution exposure in just a few days, saying that it looks dry, irritated or broken out. Changes in the environment can definitely affect the health and appearance of your skin,” she says.
