How to explain to a person that using wi-fi is safe?

Question

WiFi

The situation is this, mother-in-law bought a laptop, needed the Internet. We connected (wired), I explained about the advantages of wireless (wi-fi) Internet, since a laptop does not need to carry a cable behind it. After the words "wi-fi", the mother-in-law's sister immediately began to scream that, in her opinion, it was almost worse than radiation. He told, showed about the safety of this technology, that it is no more harmful than mobile ones, and their towers, that there are already three wi-fi networks available in your apartment, showed documents where scientists did not reveal the dependence of any diseases on this "radiation". Well, etc. He says: "physicists" showed everything on TV. And everyone here, who, where, what they showed, there is no answer.
What to do and how to convince? Does anyone have a positive experience with such situations? The mother-in-law trusts her older sister, does not want to challenge her opinion. But here it’s not just the convenience of using the Internet on a laptop, but I was hurt.
PS At the end of the debate, he recommended covering her room with foil in several layers, and didn't forget about the hat either. It was perceived with hostility, but I saw in her eyes the thought "maybe the truth will not hurt."

Answer 1

You must understand that a person is not interested in a constructive solution of the issue and he does not need to understand any processes. The word "powerful" means absolutely nothing to him. But a person feels the need for discussion ... and not for solving any problems. It is in the discussion, debate, tantrums, extremes of psychological "defense" and "attack".
So you "attacked" her with your incomprehensible "wifi", she will go "suck" to her friend, after which she will "defend" from you by all possible means. Not at all because it is bad or good, but because it is her COMPENSATORY NEED.
We live in a post-Soviet neurotic society in which people try in every possible way to compensate for their disorders. It is not customary for us to decide anything, or to realize that someone has some kind of psychological problems.
EVERYONE IS GOOD.
If you try to clarify the situation, you will become an enemy of the people, and a means of compensation.
Because it is very convenient, and you are near.
We have a good perception of primitive forceful methods.
Swing a frying pan at it and say it's radiation, then swing a piece of paper at it and say it's WiFi. In principle, she is a weak personality, so such agents should leave a mark in her perception, in the future such incidents should not be repeated. At least no one will use you as a means of compensation, because it's "scary".

Pull on a condom and say that now the protection is 100%)))))))

Answer 3

Isn't it easier to put wi-fi without discussing it? To the question "what is it?" say that this is not Wi-Fi, but a radio or something like that.
And if the cable suits, then let it use it, what's the problem? I had a case when I rented an apartment, explained that the cable was already there, showed it, explained how to connect it (the manager comes home, himself, concludes an agreement, Internet the next day), so they still stubbornly half a year until they moved out, used a 3g modem, although it has the same speed, in our area.
The point here is that someone needs technology, and someone just needs to work, and this is like a religion.

Answer 4

Mother-in-law's sister is black envy.
In fact, it is not a fact that the mother-in-law needs a laptop and internet. My mother has a laptop for 2 years and she never turned it on herself. Although she asked a lot. Simply, it was important for her to say to one person, "Look, I also have a laptop!"

Answer 5

I've had a stomach ulcer for ten years now. For a whole year I wore a new GNUSMAS mobile phone with Wi-Fi on my belt. about a month ago, the ulcer began to bother me very much. I had to lie down for a couple of days in the hospital (of course I unhooked my mobile phone). Having received his portion of medicines, he began to wear a mobile phone on his belt again. The stomach pains started again and even got worse. And then I accidentally forgot it for a couple of days with a friend and found that the sore was slowly subsiding. Now I don't know what to think. I'm even afraid to hint to my wife about what was discovered - her attitude to any form of radiation is slightly better than in the described question. But the conclusion was unequivocal: with any technique you need to have a distance.

Without idiots, the world would be boring and logical, but at least there is someone to laugh at.
