are laptops dangerous when they are on your lap?


Question Posted Monday December 31 2007, 6:54 pm

I've heard from a few people that putting your laptop on your lap is bad, because it emits radiation and can cause some damage to human organs. Is this true?

There are so many myths.
One I heard that it can kill your eggs when you're ovulating and ruin your chances at getting pregnant.
Next I heard that the radiation can kill the sperm in a guy and make him go sterile.
Next I heard that it can stop blood circulation in your legs.

Don't believe any of this, if it was real there would be much less laptops and much more information about it on the internet as well as on the news.

No. There is absolutely no danger from any kind of electronics. Salt substitute is made of potassium, which is slightly radioactive, but much more radioactive than electronics. And you don't see anyone dying of salt substitute, and they *eat* that.

Radio waves used in WiFi isn't dangerous either. It causes some mild heating of your body, similar to putting your hand in a microwave. The heating is harmless, and it will never get dangerously hot.
