Global National/16:9 The Bigger Picture
This week on 16:9
You can’t see it but it’s everywhere. Wifi
connects
computers to the
internet, no
cords required.
Now kids are
using it in
wireless
classrooms
across the
country. But is
it an invisible
danger? Carolyn
Jarvis
investigates why
some parents say
wifi in schools
is making our
kids sick.
Headaches, nausea, trouble concentrating –
could wifi in
schools be
making kids
sick? While
Canada goes
increasingly
wireless, in
other parts of
the world, wifi
has worn out its
welcome. Carolyn
Jarvis visits a
town in Northern
France that is
the first place
in the world to
trade wifi for
wires.
