11/11/2003 12:58 PMIllinois lawsuit against school district for using wireless explained
a little further: This is the first article I've seen which contained
any reference to the studies that a group of parents in Oak Park have
been citing as demonstrating that there is a correlative risk because
specific exposure to Wi-Fi microwave radiation and human health.
Unfortunately, the study that's the only one linked to in the article,
one conducted by Leif Salford, doesn't lead to the conclusion the
parents say it does. The Salford study shows that exposure to uniform
radiation over a period of time in the GSM band can produce some ill
effects in rats' brains. While this study should certainly disturb
those in the cell industry, it's applicability to Wi-Fi is very very
low. First, the band used in Wi-Fi is much higher than GSM and will
have different characteristics. The researchers don't state the band
in their study, for some reason, but mention that they have been
working in the 900 MHz band for some time. Second, the study shows
that exposure over periods of time to uniform radiation cause the
outcome. For cell phones, this is an issue, but for Wi-Fi, it is not.
Wi-Fi is not only a bursty technology, in which there is not a
constant transmission of peak signal power, but it's also a technology
in which the brain is usually from a few feet to dozens of feet away
from the radiation point source. Because signal strength varies by the
inverse square of the distance from the source, comparing an enclosed
uniform radiation field in the study with brains located even 18
inches away from a similarly powered Wi-Fi transmitter is meaningless.
The study that needs to be performed would have rats in a laboratory
at a variety of distances from both bursty and continuously
transmitting Wi-Fi transceivers using standard equipment that produces
from 30 mW to 200 mW of power, and commercial omnidirectional and
sectorized antennas. Frankly, this study makes me glad that I don't
stick my GSM cell phone up against my head. I use a Bluetooth headset,
which produces a fraction of the signal strength that a GSM does in
normal usage and in a different band....

Illinois Educators Conference Blog
Illinois Educators Conference Blog
03/14/2005 06:22 PMWhat in the World is IceCasting?
“IceCasting is an experiment in MobCasting, an idea that
Andy Carvin has been exploring lately. The Illinois Technology
Conference for Educators (IL-TCE) will be held in St. Charles from
March 1 through March 4 and I thought this might be an interesting way
to extend the learning.
Everyone loves attending conferences.
There's something about being surrounded by your colleagues and being
exposed to new ideas at every turn that really just gets people jazzed
up about technology, teaching, and education in general. This blog is
a way to capture that feeling and share it with other people. It's a
place to capture those ideas that you just can't wait to take back to
your school, or make you think differently about the way you're doing
things now.
If you experienced something at ICE and want to
share it with people, there's two ways that you can do so. Send an
email to teach42.icecasting@blogge
r.com, and the entire text of the email will be instantly posted
here. You can also attach photos to the emails if you'd like to! If
you'd like to leave an audio comment, simply call 1-661-716-BLOG
(2564), use 555-555-5555 for the login and then enter 2005 as your
pincode. Leave a message and your audio comment will be posted
directly to the blog!
So in between sessions, if you feel
inspired, pick up your cell phone and give the number a call. Share
what you've seen or heard that inspired you with everyone else. Please
feel free to pass this information on to anyone else attending the
conference.
If you happen to use Flickr, then tag your ICE photos with
ICE2005. I'll be adding a feed to the sidebar that will grab all of
our communal photos that way.” [IceCasting]
Steve Dembo seems to be doing
all of the heavy lifting at this point (text and audio),
but it’s certainly a great idea. Keep up the great work,
Steve!
To my great regret, I won’t be able to attend the
Computers in Libraries
conference this year, so I’m going to have to attend
via the blogs. Thank heavens for non-complex, navel-gazing conference
bloggers!
