The Town Where You Can't Use Wireless Connections

This is a fast forward world in which we are living and technology has made a lot of things easier for us. There are mobile phones, internet and other similar devices which has made our life comfortable. These are among things which almost everyone in this world is using. But what if we tell you about a place where the use of internet, mobile phone and any wireless connection is banned? Surely it will be shocking and people are a lot curious that which is the place where using these common facilities is ban!

Well, the Place is “Green Bank” which is a town located in West Virginia. This is a location of America and the government has banned the usage of these basic facilities. But there is some reason to ban a thing as the government does everything for the welfare of the people and the assets of the country. Green Bank is well known place and a lot of tourists come here from all over the world. This is because the biggest telescope of the world named “Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope” is present here. In order to let it work without any disturbance, the wireless signals are not allowed. If allowed, these signals may create the disturbance in the working of the telescope. This is why people are not given access to one of the most advanced things we have in terms of technology.

The telescope helps in knowing about the stars and other objects which million and trillion light years away from the earth. We are unable to go to that place at the time and we might not become able to go there for next couple of decades but still we can know about it. There are 9 other electromagnetic waves and radio waves sensitive telescopes and radars. The presence of mobile and internet signals will not let these things work properly and this will lead to the development of wrong stats about the things that are several light years away from us.

The only possible way of communication for the people of Green Bank, Virginia is few telephones provided to these people by the government. But more interesting thing is that even to these telephone lines which are only way to contact to people outside, the access is limited.

If a person from outside the world sees the life of people of Green Bank, surely they will find it hard. But the people living there are habitual of living without these facilities and they are happy with their life. Though the wish of being advanced and usage of technology is found there!
