But how does she check Facebook? HOW!? (Picture: Blaek Design Studio/EyeEm)
Rather than a Terminator-style battlefield, the war between robots and humans might be fought with… allergies.
A French woman has won a landmark court case which has resulted in the government paying her €800 (£588) a month in disability allowance for three years.
The reason? Martine Richard is apparently allergic to WiFi.
Richard claims she has been forced to quit her job and move to a rural farm with no internet connectivity due to suffering from headaches, nausea and dizziness for years.
Science claims that WiFi allergy (also known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity or EHS) doesn’t exist, but Richard is far from the first person to claim they suffer from it.
What makes this case different is that Richard is the first person to have her ‘allergy’ recognised as a disability by the government

The World Health Organisation (WHO) have said of the condition: ‘The majority of studies indicate that EHS individuals cannot detect EMF exposure any more accurately than non-EHS individuals.
‘Well controlled and conducted double-blind studies have shown that symptoms were not correlated with EMF exposure.’
