A trip down the local high street is a nightmare, and most pubs are out of bounds for Steve. As are, for that matter, airports and hotels. He can no longer travel by train because of the pain and suffering his condition causes. And it's all caused by WiFi. According to the ES support group there has been much media speculation, but also a lot of research, into the ill-health effects caused by "a number of modern wireless communication conveniences" including mobile phones and base stations, DECT cordless phones and, of course, WiFi. Steve told The Sun newspaper that he feels "like an exile on my own planet" claiming that it is "almost impossible to find somewhere without wi-fi nowadays". He says that he has to travel three miles to find a pub without WiFi if he fancies a pint, and even had to move house as being within 50 yards of any other houses leaves him open to being infected by their WiFi signals. Apparently Steve is not alone, and some two percent of the UK population suffer from the effects of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. With cars being equipped as rolling WiFi hotspots there could soon be no escape for sufferers. |
