I would love to watch this person glaze over while I explain that they both run at 2.4 ghz and are thus identical as far as radiation goes. The EM spectrum isn’t that complicated a concept, I don’t know why it’s such black magic to so many
Because they don’t understand it, and fearing something is much easier to do than to take second semester physics.
It’s not second semester physics, though. It’s like middle school nature & science class. It’s part of understanding the base foundations of our modern world.
Not to mention, we’ve known about and actively used electromagnetic waves since the invention of radio (if we ignore light bulbs and visible light, of course)
Eh, I kind of feel like they tell you about these things in middle school, but you won’t actually understand them well until you take E&M. Up until that point, you’re kind of just accepting what you’ve been told and haven’t been provided in depth knowledge of the subject. Compared to understanding why radiation is ionizing vs non-ionizing, how it behaves, interference, etc.

This person probably has a job and gets paid for it.
One of these days I’m going to get an overuse injury from my eye-rolling muscles.
Bluetooth is, not a joke, named after King Harald Bluetooth. He was a viking, who united many Norse tribes, you know with all the pillaging they are known for.
Oh wow you’re serious
The name “Bluetooth” was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach of Intel, one of the founders of the Bluetooth SIG. The name was inspired by a conversation with Sven Mattisson who related Scandinavian history through tales from Frans G. Bengtsson’s The Long Ships, a historical novel about Vikings and the 10th-century Danish king Harald Bluetooth. Upon discovering a picture of the runestone of Harald Bluetooth in the book A History of the Vikings by Gwyn Jones, Kardach proposed Bluetooth as the codename for the short-range wireless program which is now called Bluetooth.
If something is invented as a direct replacement it should be known as Forkbeard for Harald’s son, Sweyn Forkbeard
After the final fight was over and the dust had settled, a faint robotic female voice could be heard on a full moon at midnight if you repeat “this technology is way too widely used for how little bandwidth it can reliably carry it’s just not good for data transfer or high quality audio/video” three times….

Wifi and Bluetooth both run in radio waves. Christ.
