LOW EMF/RF Wired Network Configuration of iPad Tested Successfully
Some interesting — and hopefully also good — news.
I just had success with connecting an iPad via wired Ethernet to the Internet and enjoying the additional freedom this configuration offers. iPads can offer a low-cost, low EMF/RF alternative for standard computers when used in this way.

Typically, present-day iPads are forced to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to connect to the Internet. But with this setup, one can have all wireless services disabled and still access the Internet via a wired Ethernet network.
The configuration was inspired by this Total EMF Solutions video and Tom VanOuse’s reminder that this was a possible iPad use case. Many thanks to both!
Watch the video to see how to put it all together.

I use a non-powered stylus to provide better distance from the iPad instead of using my fingers to touch it.
I’m partial to this Wacom stylus:

DISCLAIMER: I provide no guarantee this will work for you. I took the chance to see if what was being touted by the video presentation above was accurate and discovered it was. For those who try it, I hope you have the success I have had.
Seriously "Sensitive" to Pollution 
Maybe there are some forward thinking tech manufacturers who can make a single piece adapter that is also non-toxic / no VOC, so that all the e-readers and small devices can be used like this?
There’s a growing market (and need) for this kind of stuff!
UPDATE: This configuration has now been successfully tested with an iPad 2 (an older generation iPad) which has a 30-pin interface instead of the Lightning port current iPads are built with.
The only difference in hardware to provide the connection is a 30-pin to female USB adapter, such as this GooDGo offering (http://tinyurl.com/30pin-to-usb-adptr) in place of the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. (The cable from GooDGo is 8.12 USD from Amazon.)
