As I sit here in yet another coffee house, comfortably sipping my coffee and browsing the web, I’m amazed at just how wired (or wireless-ed) my world has become.
These days when I leave the house I always bring my laptop. I never know when I’d like to search for a new coffee house, directions, or just about anything. And I’d say a good 90% of the places I go I’m able to find an open wireless connection for my laptop.
Last week in San Francisco at 3 o’clock in the morning I found myself in one spot with 30 access points to choose from. Sure, this is an extreme example: most places offer 3-5 AP’s.
The point is that I’m able to access the Internet just about everywhere these days, and do so wirelessly.
I think it’s fucking cool.
