In a recent study, it was found that the the radiation emitted from WiFi in laptops can kill up to a quarter of sperm counts after just a few hours of use. Of course, the laptop has to be fairly close to the testicles.
Well, I guess I'm screwed.

I think this was found out a few years ago, or it might have been female infertility. I remember reading about things like infertility after laptop use in a paper somewhere. I just assumed they were being neurotic like they were with "Using mobile phones increases cancer risk" or whatever and that was proven to be wrong after a few years. I mean what doesn't damage your health nowadays.

It as actually true however cell phones can also kill sperm cells if near them, this has been known for awhile. Cell phones leading to cancer however has no truth behind it, but Cell Phones do effect your brain, but no harm as been found.

At the end of the day all sorts of beams and rays are being sent through the atmosphere and we are all bound to inadvertantly pass through them several times during the day. This is nothing new and I think the risks are being hyped up to make them seem worse than they actually are.

The rays that come from the sun are completely different.

When you sit down with a laptop on your lap. The Wifi emitter is VERY close to your crotch.

Where did I say anything about the sun!!!
There are phone masts all over the world, they are sending harmfull beams and rays accross the globe. Also you are bound to walk through several wifi areas in any one day.

The chip itself doesn't emit the waves. In most laptops there are small metal wires that run up to the top of the laptop screen :)
But the heat does kill sperm count.
