The outcome of the quality of life with the use of modern technology depends on the environmental and biological exposure.  Hence, the use of laptop, and convenience to access the internet via Wi-Fi (wireless) connection, could have enormous health consequences, which may lead to the high prevalence or incidence of infertility outcome, in men.  Avendano et.al conducted a prospective ex-vivo interventional study to evaluate the effect of laptop-Wi-Fi exposure on spermatozoa donated by 29 healthy men. Each sperm donor was divided into two aliquots, one for the experimental group (laptop Wi-Fi exposure), and the other the control group (non-exposure to Wi-Fi), but incubated in identical condition without exposure to the laptop. The main outcome observed were sperm motility, viability and DNA fragmentation. After 4 hours of exposure, the study shows that 25% of sperm in the exposed groups (Wi-Fi connected laptop) stopped moving while 14 % of sperm in the control group (Non-Wi-Fi exposed/ non laptop incubation) stopped moving. In addition, 9% of the sperm exposed to radiation had DNA fragmentation. Hence, in the exposed group, there were three times more DNA fragmentation in the experimental group than in the non-radiation group (Avendano, Mata, Sanchez-Sarmiento, & Doncel, 2011).
