Last Sunday, I was reading an article called Theories of Connectivity by James Gleick in the New York Times Magazine. Gleick calls the year 2001 the year of the wireless device the threshold year just as 1994 was the year of the Internet and 1987 the year of the fax machine. None more than the computer. Gleick stated that Innovation is irresistible. Progress is inevitable.
Resistance is futile.
A few geek questions for you. I didn t know about it until last week. It s friendlier name is Wi-Fi for wireless fidelity. If you install a small base station somewhere on your home network, you can carry laptops from room to room, basement to kitchen counter. Never go off line.
