The residents of Green Bank, West Virginia, can’t use cell phones, wi-fi, or other kinds of modern technology due to a high-tech government telescope. Recently, this ban has made the town a magnet for technophobes, and the locals aren’t thrilled to have them.

In some countries, “Electrosensivity” is legally recognized as an illness (to the effect of medical leaves, paid treatment, etc.), but as a mental illness.
