Swiss Prefer To Be Dumb, But Healthy, And Less Well Connected
from the choices,-choices dept
Last year, we wrote about a somewhat questionable study that suggested that 3G wireless base stations made people feel sick - but also made them smarter. Now, because of that study (which was greatly questioned once the details showed very little evidence to back up its main assertions), the Swiss government is contemplating a ban on 3G technologies. The argument, of course, is they want to make sure their citizens remain healthy, but if they really believe that study, doesn't it mean they also want their citizens to remain dumber?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
