Green Bank in West Virginia is probably the most outdated place in the US when people here are banned from using cell phones, Wi-Fi, TV and radio.
It is known that this small town with 149 residents is located in the 34,000-square-kilometer National No-radio area.
Scientists have used this space to launch satellites into space, serving research and they cannot let waves from personal electrical devices interrupt their signals. That means no radio, TV, Wifi, mobile or bluetooh.
The Green Bank is also a place for the Green Radio Telescope.
In order for astronomical activities to be unaffected by noise, the town has thoroughly applied the ban on the use of electronic transceiver devices and a police officer was cut to patrol the streets to find Search for radio signals.
Employees responding to emergencies are the only citizens who use radio receivers. The whole area only has a single desk phone. Residents can still use the internet but do not have wifi.
Obviously, these things made it difficult for residents of the town to live, but many people rushed to Green Bank in the 2000s to avoid the technology world.
Many new citizens say they suffer from Electromagnetic Sensitivity (EHS) , a disease that is not recognized by medicine. Some people like Diane Schou believe that electromagnetic makes them tired, like food allergies and that Green Bank is one of the only places they can live healthy.
"Life here is not perfect," Schou said. "There are no grocery stores, no restaurants, no hospitals. But at least, I'm healthy here. I don't have to struggle with headaches all day."
