hmm... wireless from light bulbs... hmm...

what do you all think of this?
have you heard of it before?

New Technology with Light (Li-Fi instead of Wi-Fi) should be healthy and not dangerous for human bodies. May be they will replace the HF. EHS could find hope. May be someone of you knows more about...?

Hmmm, LED bulbs flickering on and off a billion times per second? Sounds like it could be your worst nightmare -- you will remember fondly the days of Wi-Fi....

funny, marc. :)

could they contain the light so it doesn't affect you?

Even if you were in another room (away from the light), you
are still going to be impacted by the electrical wiring that
is powering this. I mean, how does the light bulb connect
with the Internet? Presumably via the power lines. Having
high speed data running on the power lines is worse than
Wi-Fi (at least as for some people)

hmm.... can you think of a solution?

is there a safe way to connect everyone to the internet?

???

Well... people have different definitions of "safe". For some, anything
wireless (wi-fi, 3G, 4G) is "unsafe" and anything wired (DSL,cable,modem)
is "safe". However, from my own personal experience, some wired setups
can also be very unsafe... I've had some big problems with wired DSL
and cable in the past, just due to the frequencies being put out by the
router and/or emitted from the telephone wiring.
