Who cares if Wi-Fi kills? I say that not to be flip or suggest that people shouldn't care about the health effects of Wi-Fi -- only to point out that people, in fact, GENERALLY DON'T CARE.

Well, there are as many studies (at least regarding cell phones) that show the radiation isn't strong enough to cause longterm damage or changes in your brain.
But even if it would do this is a case like smoking. Everybody knows it's unhealthy but because the (major) negative impact comes only after decades people tend to neglect the risk...
As you said, in a decade or two we'll see if we're all turned into a bunch of brain fried imbeciles :-)
I worried about it,especially with young children, until a coworker pointed out that not putting wireless into my house certainly does not mean that the kids will not be subject to it.
If we're all going to be "brain-fried imbeciles," at least they'll get some utility from it first, since they would suffer from the externalities anyway.
