How to setup a Wired internet tablet with wired keyboard and mouse?

This explanation video comes to show a way to connect your tablet to a wired internet connection so people with EHS could use it.
In addition, in the second part of the video I show how to connect the same tablet also to a wired keyboard and mouse to create a full, easy to use, low EMF/ELF/RF/EMI working setup.

Why?
Some EHS kids are left out from their school or class mates because they can't use whatsapp.
Some EHS people can't use a PC, laptop, or PC screen, even if wired, because of the low ELF/EMI/EMF radiation emitted from the parts. Using a wired connected tablet might be away to solve both the problems above and it is not to expensive or complex.

Please note:
1. Items from ebay -  there are a lot of similar items out there, not all will work,  I was lucky and all worked in the first try
2. The tablet's OS needs to include the net card drivers. not all include it. I recommend to get the micro USB network card and then test on several tablets that your friends have, or that are presented in stores before buying.
3. Installation of whatsapp application on the tablet is possible but not face forward. It is not explained in this video.

Parts:
1. a Tablet that support a micro USB wired network card.
2. a Micro USB wired network card that supports the tablet's OS - http://www.ebay.com/bhp/micro-usb-to-ethernet
3. a Micro USB to 4 USB Hub - press here for similar items on ebay
4. a USB male to Micro USB female converter - press here for "
5. a wired keyboard and mouse

The education committee in the Knesset order the hold of Tablet BYOD project

This does not mean the end of WIFI in schools in ISRAEL, but it is a big step forward.

Today (30/06/2015) the Education committee in the Knesset (Israeli parliament) ordered the hold of Tablet BYOD project.
The order was given in the end of a single hour discussion regarding the deployment of wireless tablet PC, that should be bought by the parents, also known as the "Bring Your Own Device" Tablets project.
The order was given mainly because the BYOD project contradicts to the Israeli law and regulation. According to the law and regulations, in order to ask parents to buy equipment under the "payment out of free will" the school have to get 100% approval from the parents and not 70% as the ministry of education require for the BYOD project.
In addition the cost is defined to be under NIS250(~$70), while tablets cost more than NIS1000 (~$250).
The committee also discussed other aspects of the projects like the inequality between kids (those who have new shiny-top brand tablet, those who have a old or cheap one and those who get a PC/tablet from the school), the economical burden on the parents, the education problems, health problems(from the RF radiation, not as main subject), more screen time, losing social skills, losing learning skills and more.

Again, this is not the end of WIFI in Israeli schools. WIFI will continue to work in most schools it was deployed in, but at least with less traffic. The ministry of education is expected to try to push forward the use of tablets or wireless laptops in schools.
