This may be a silly question, but I have a problem with electronic breaking around me. I have gone through 7 dvd players, 5 cell phones, 3 computers.... the list goes on. WiFi doesn't work when i am in the room either. When I visit clients even their electronic go nuts.
What is going on here? Do our bodies put out different amounts of electricity? Even to the point of electronic going nuts around us? If this is the case have you ever heard of this? What do I do? Please help if you can.
(and no I am not breaking the electronic either =) ... )

Funny I just saw that on TV today (mysterious-ways).
see http://www.tv.com/mysterious-ways/spark-of-life/episode/93048/summary.html?tag=ep_list;ep_title;14

This is pure fantasy.

Some electronic components are sensitive to static charge. Normally once the component is in a product it is sufficiently protected from static.

There are tiny electric impulses that travel down the axons of our neurons. These are far too small to adversely affect electronic devices.

wow you're the walking tesla coil. Are these devices have poor grounding design?? You know our body can store electricity (called static electricity) this stored electricity can be fatal to electronic devices especially CMOS IC (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor integrated circuits) which is a common component of an electronic devices. be sure to discharge it by simply holding a metal connected to ground (ex. metal water pipes, window grills)

Wow, I'm afraid to touch my keyboard right now. I'd go with the static discharge theory posted before. And possibly don't wear rubber soled shoes or fabrics that build up static.
