Unfortunately, this claim and it's evidence appear to be both exaggerated and misleading. First off, Wi-Fi is a form of pulsed electromagnetic frequency which should be questioned in terms of it's radiation exposure. The current research on Wi-Fi and the human body has indicated that Wi-Fi can effect both male and female sexual health via emitted levels of radiation which can mutate a person's DNA; but no current studies have yet to focus on Wi-Fi's effects on the human brain in terms of higher radiation exposure (only that of animals which are not an accurate comparison model in most cases).

Secondly, radiation exposure from Wi-Fi and radiation exposure from mobile devices do not exert the same types of effects in cognitive behavior on a human brain. Dr. Michael Gregor, a seasoned physician of nutrition and public health advocate/educator, highlights the mixed results from research on Wi-Fi radiation by saying the following: 

  • The kinds of neurocognitive effects seen with cell phones are not seen with Wi-Fi exposure. Researchers did not find any “measurable effects of acute Wi-Fi exposure” on reaction time or sustained attention from testing 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi, and we would expect even lower exposure levels from 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi. 
This is in strong opposition to the claims made by the poster's evidence which suggests that mobile devices do emit higher radiowave frequencies when that is simply not true. Any negatively associated behaviors that come from such mobile devices are the result of being exposed to the devices online content and not it's small emissions of radiation from the technology itself.
