    Ruh-Roh: Wi-Fi Could Be Baking Your Sperm


    Posted: 29 Nov 2011
    Not to be too dramatic, but we couldn’t live without our Wi-Fi connections. That could be our downfall, because as it turns out, future generations of young geeks may not be able to live with our Wi-Fi connections. While the proliferation of wireless hot spots is generally regarded as a Very Good Thing overall, a new study suggests that "a laptop connected wirelessly to the Internet on the lap near the testes may result in decreased male fertility." Basically, guys, all that YouTube browsing could be killing off your little soldiers.

    I don't care - I've done all the reproducing I'm going to to do!!

    Mind you, haven't we also been told that mobile phones are frying our brains?

    Shawn, I read the article. As the author says it is not yet proved in human beings.

    Can I compare this to a mobile phone threat?

    Nowadays we are using mobile phones more than wi-fi and I am sure mobile phones emit more electromagnetic radiation than wi-fi chips in laptops. :)

    Yeah, I would say it's one of those things that's not completely proven yet, but could be a possibility.

    With some people, it might be a good thing to reduce their ability to pass on their genes.

    The lesson here is that your laptop should never be your pillow, especially during sexy time.

    Could that be what's behind the free wi-fi movement for the poor?
