Can people actually get sick from technology? Those with the self-prescribed wireless sickness are called "Wifi-Refugees." Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) calls for complete isolation from wireless technology and that is why Greenbank, Virginia, has seen an influx in residents. The US Radio Quiet Zone bans all radio signals and technology year round.
Many people feel like they're sick from the use of technology but they're not. People aren't sick from signals and radio waves because even when people aren't using technology radio waves are traveling through space. People definitely need to limit their technology use. Too many kids are glued to screens and games from a young age.
I think Radio Free Zones are a fantastic idea because they are a perfect excuse to put the phone down. There was a study on 60 Minutes where they took five young women and took away their phones, laptops, and anything else along those lines. For a week they had to live their everyday lives without it. For example, one of the girls went to dinner and they had her friend purposefully come an hour late so that she was forced to get up and mingle with complete strangers.
