How Wi-fi impacts today's society.


Hello World,

The single biggest wireless technology that has the greatest impact on today’s society in my option is Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi has changed the way society uses their mobile devices, computers and even televisions. Mostly all smartphone automatically sync to a Wi-Fi hotspot when they detect one, doing one of two things. The first is it saves their personal data, which means they will not use the data associated with their carriers plan, ultimately saving them money on their monthly phone bills.  The second is it allows the owner of the Wi-Fi to retain information regarding the visitor to their establishment. This is helpful to businesses such as restaurants and hotels for marketing purposes.

I also believe that Wi-Fi has shaped the habits of consumers when it comes to eating at restaurants or shopping. An excellent case of this is Starbucks, they are known for their coffee and free Wi-Fi. If you enter any Starbucks at any time you can always count on two or three people working on computers and surfing the Internet. This is a great opportunity to increase sales and draw in new clients.

Wi-Fi is used as the icing on the cake to draw in guest or customers to activities that they would be partaking in anyway.
