But while most Americans seem to embrace continuous connectivity, some believe it's making them physically ill. Dozens of Americans who claim to have been made ill by wi-fi and mobile phones have flocked to the town of Green Bank, West Virginia.

2.7 Petabytes - that is the amount of information that is transmitted everyday via space and terrestrial radio systems - on frequencies on or adjacent to the Wi-fi segments of 2.4 and 5 Ghz. There is no place on the surface of the Earth that one can escape exposure to not only man made spectrum but the RF that is emitted constantly by the Earth, Sun, and Moon. I wonder if these are the same people that tell me that the Earth has only been in existence for only 4,000 years?
Strange.... Here is a link to a chart showing how man made radiation is less than 18% of our total exposure - Ionizing Radiation
