Wireless Networks and Children
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Ask most people today about the dangers of cell phones, wireless networks, and microwave ovens, and they’ll probably laugh at you and dismiss any negative thoughts you may have. These things are in everyday use by almost everyone so they must be perfectly safe, right?

Technologies that generate strong magnetic fields have always been a concern to parents. They are blamed for numerous health issues for those who live in close proximity to power lines.
Wireless routers which are very convenient are also of great concern. Schools in response to activism in parents are beginning to remove wifi transmitters (see Health fears lead schools to dismantle wireless networks).
How safe are these technologies? When your dealing with children and their developing bodies, they don’t have the same immunity and protection against harm that an adult has. There are many compelling arguments for and against wireless networks (see Cell Phone Dangers — What They Don’t Want You To See). The question is, do you want to take a chance with them on your children? Its better to err on the side of caution and avoid their use.
Wireless routers tend to be flaky anyways. A wired connection always gets better results and you don’t have to worry about eavesdropping hackers.
