Irrational wi-fi fear – thanks Panaroma

June 25th, 2007 Matthew Revell 3 comments

A few weeks back, Panorama – the BBC’s once serious and noteworthy current affairs programme – broadcast a lazy, fear-mongering film about wi-fi.

In a television market where Gillian McKeith still gets to make programmes, I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised when the BBC joins in and produces similar nonsense.

The Register has a good response to the wi-fi-fear in general, Ben Goldacre’s Bad Science offers some great insights in the comments and a chap called Wellington Grey has a fantastic cartoon on the dangers of wi-fi.
