Everybody was sitting on their own, typing away on their laptops. So the spirit of those 17 century coffee houses has disappeared then? No more lively debates and intellectual discussions? ,M: It seems so. As Douglas Fraser, BBC Business and Economy editor says, the coffee shop's free Wi-Fi is transporting its customers to different destinations far from the person beside them. As you can see, so many people sit along plugged into their laptops, and they're all doing different things working, writing, messing about on social media. ,F: I think at the cafe owners should turn off the free Wi-Fi. I don't think people should be allowed to sit all day using the Internet, occupying tables and not talking to anybody, especially when some of them don't even buy a coffee. ,M: That's a bit extreme, Catherine. Cafe owners needs customers and they encourage people to stay by having comfortable sofas and newspapers to read and the free Wi-Fi.
