A tech confusion

How important is wifi these days?

We all know that technology is very important and necessary in this era, but rarely do we ever discuss the aspect of wifi. First of all, the more you say wifi, the weirder it sounds, and second, wifi has become a very important tool, and some might consider it to be necessary. The history of wifi is simple, it developed during the tech era and has grown significantly. Wifi has piggy backed off of the internet, and has made the online scene easier when possible, creating a greater amount of use and importance.

Wifi not only made things faster and smarter, but made the laptop possible. If you think about it, desk top computers began and worked, with the help of a outlet and telephone cable. Laptops, on the other hand, work without the internet of course, and useful for many reason without online access, but with wifi the need and want for a laptop sky rocketed. This created new computer markets and altered the tech economy. Laptops, are so huge, that its hard to discuss in a short parapgraph, but whats mosatly important, is that this market boomed because wifi developed and boomed as well. Im not sure what came first, but what matters now, is that without wifi, the abilities of laptops decrease, and the want for them decreases as well. So the question remains, is wifi necessary?

This same importance goes for ipads, ipods, kindles, and all smartphonesas well as. I was not lucky enough to get an iphone until my junior year of higschool, 4 years ago. I had wanted an iphone for a long while, however my parents were not letting up. I eventlually caught on to the recource of wifi growing around town, and realized that with an ipod touch, I could experience some of what all my friends were experiencing as well. Getting an ipod touch, for me, was dependent on the fact that wifi would be accessible, so I could take picture, go on social media and even text people. Kindle, I believe is the same way, without wifi, the kindle cannot download new files or access new information. The one thing that makes this question questionable, is the aspect and obviousness of data, and online connections that cost money and can be accessed from mostly anywhere without needing wifi. While the science behind it is quite confusing, the development of roaming and data, has also influenced the tech industry and this era.

So, for some people that mostly connect on their phones, data roaming would be a bigger necessity than wifi. While it is true that most people do connect moslty through their smartphones with data, having access to wifi greatly increases effieciency and happiness. So, while overall, wifi technically is not necessary for some devices, it is necessary for others. This question, therefore is hard to answer directly, and varies amoung each individual to their own extent. Wifi has increased the use of technology, while the aspect of data has as well. Both are very important and possibly necessary. Its crazy to think that this is an article and topic to even wirte about, and that this type of technology has become to be common sense, however, that’s for another article. Technology is what we know of it, but always changing, so never get lost, if you can…

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
