Five Sites to Check Out Once Wireless Internet Becomes a Fact of Life

The world wide web is known for its development speeds, and for the fact that those who don't stay on top of things sometimes find themselves left back at the curb. For those who aren't as particularly into the world of tech-related changes, reading through all of the new material can feel incredibly tedious. After all, which are the parts that are absolutely essential to focus on, and which are the elements that can just be ignored? Sometimes, even something like wired.com doesn't manage to make this clear, and for those who haven't been as interested in following the ways of the world wide web, it might mean getting left behind on something crucial.

Fortunately, most people are aware of wireless internet and how it has changed the communication game, even if they are completely clueless about the superior method of connection that is WiMax. For those who have recently moved away from the ethernet cable and who are moving freely about life while still plugged into the world wide web, here are five sites worth checking out on that journey.

#1 - Google Maps. Because it's never fun to be lost, and this is one way to never have that problem. Google Maps really does manage to do it all, and doing it all is definitely something that one wants a directional source to be able to handle.

#2 - BoingBoing. While working on the go, sometimes the proper distraction is absolutely necessary. And for those who can't handle a ton of video, BoingBoing sometimes serves up that hilarious content that a browser making use of regular wireless internet will be able to handle with ease and speed.

#3 - Where's Cool? A great time-waster for those who are a little too hip for Yelp, Where's Cool? focuses on the fact that user-written reviews should be enough to get around cities not just by their food items, but by their neighborhoods. Great for those who are younger, and important to access via an actual computer, since their web guru never actually got around to embracing the world of the iPhone app.

#4 - Time Out. No matter what city one happens to be in, this magazine/guide series often manages to deliver. And while it hasn't been as hip in recent years, the fact of the matter is that Time Out is still one of those names that has pull, meaning that anyone who needs to impress someone with a great business dinner will be all about finding the perfect restaurant in there, perhaps even via WiMax connection en route to the city in question.

#5 - Weather.com - For those who are always on the go for work or for leisure, it really does help to see what Weather.com thinks that the temperature and conditions are going to be. And sometimes, it's terribly wrong, but it's still the most well-known name out there in terms of figuring out if it's sweater weather or not, so why not use it while using Wi-Fi?
