You may consider yourself to be a technophobe in varying degrees however spare a thought for the residents of a US town in West Virginia where all forms of wireless technology is banned by the government. For them the use of land lines and hardwired computers are allowed although the speed of these devices is ‘slooow’ according to one Green bank resident. The reason for this blanket ban is the Robert C Byrd Green Bank telescope. One of nine such telescopes in Green Bank they measure the patterns of electromagnetic radiation in space and are so powerful that they can literally hear a snowflake falling to the ground.
All this well and good but for the 143 residents of green Bank it does lead to slower pace of life and with the publication of their wireless free zone, the area has become a magnet for those who have been diagnosed as having Electromagnetic hypersensitivity or EHS. The affliction renders sufferers unable to be near any smart electricity meters and given the extent of usage of technology these days, escaping this can be difficult but in Green Bank, dubbed the quietest place in the world, sufferers can live a peaceful, if somewhat quiet life.
In London it is difficult and even impossible to escape the wireless signals. The number of wifi hotspots is set to increase to 21 million next year and with more mobile phone contracts than people, this trend looks set to continue. Technology is increasing at a terrifying rate, even our own London escort agency relies heavily on the use of mobile phones, internet and twitter in order to take bookings and communicate with our clients. People want to confirm their desires immediately and long gone are the days when a client would call on a land line to make a date a week in advance. Now we receive instant messages through twitter asking which of our gorgeous London escorts is available immediately and given that we must fulfil all our client’s needs, we are usually able to send the escort of choice to the client within minutes of receiving the request.
For those who are sensitive to technology there can be little escape, especially in big cities and so a move to the country does offer some respite however one would have to be an extreme case indeed to resort to moving to green Banks West Virginia, although locals are noticing a trend of new inhabitants for that very reason.
With the continual onslaught of technology it is unlikely that this will abate any time soon and if you are a sufferer then take solace in the fact that countries are starting to take the affliction seriously with Sweden being the first country to recognise EHS as a disability. Suffering from EHS should not stop you from making a date with any of our London escorts though as our ladies always turn their phones off when they are engaged with a client and can certainly leave your side to make a call to our agency to confirm they have arrived or are leaving your company. We accept bookings via the telephone and so you can use a landline to do this.
