Thanks for the link emraware. Perhaps an effective "On/Off" switch would be a power strip with an on/off switch? Does switching off a power strip have the same effect as unplugging devices altogether?
Yeah - it's something how I've felt a difference just from unplugging my already-"off" LED TV from the wall. I guess this is illustrative of the fact that devices emit electrical fields even when they are "turned off".
It's also something how I can "feel" appliances from clear across the room. I mean - it seems pretty implausible that I can be affected by a VCR/DVD player that I'm sitting some 7, 8, or 9 feet (about 2 or 3 meters) from - but such is the "surreal" nature of my e.s.. (I often feel TVs from this distance, too.) What I'm feeling can't be the actual electromagnetic field, can it? I just didn't think that the magnetic, or electromagnetic field reaches that far.

So it might be good if there is a way to turn on and off a switch from a distance. I remember an old video of Per Segerback where he used a stick to turn on and off the switch of a power outlet.
