Three Ways Wireless Internet Is Changing Our World

It seems just a few years ago everyone had a tiny flip phone, and a few years before that nobody had a cell phone at all. Considering that rapid pace of change, it might be fun to reflect on a few ways life was different before you could just pull up the shared knowledge of the entire Internet world on a mobile broadband phone!

1) It was a lot harder to settle a bet. Sadly, the fine art of being completely sure about something to the point of being willing to wager money on it might go completely by the wayside for the next generation. How many friendly bets have you lost over who was the Yankees' all-time winningest pitcher, or the name of last year's Best Picture winner, or the name of your dining hall in college? These bets can be settled so quickly with the Internet. You don't have to go home to consult a sports almanac, or a guide to movies, and you don't have to call that old friend from college to find the information you need. With wireless Internet, there's no time to renege on your bet by claiming that the bet was about something different, or that it never happened at all, as was often the case between friendly bettors. Having the entire Internet on your phone makes these questions open and shut cases.

2) It was harder to ignore the world around you. For example, take the sights and sounds (and smells) of a lowly city bus. A crowded city bus could be a much more unbearable experience before the advent of smartphones. These phones make it infinitely easier to tune out the world around you as the bus rattles its way up- or downtown, allowing you to catch up on e-mail or just surf the Internet instead of staring blankly at other passengers (or being stared at). However, some people would argue that smartphones deprive us of some of the random social interaction that might otherwise occur on a given day. Even on city buses, you can meet wonderful people without warning - and isn't that why people live in cities anyway? Anywhere people are congregating, there is the ability for an amazing new encounter. You can even use your smartphone to settle bets with new friends!

3) Home and work were strictly separated. These days, many companies issue their employees Internet phones so that they are always within reach. Our workforce no longer consists only of people who work strict eight-hour shifts from 9am to 5pm. With schedules widely dispersed in the workforce, expectations are higher that people should be available 24 hours a day. However, you can make this work for you. Just because you are available all day does not mean you have to be working all day. There is a flexibility in our working schedule that wireless Internet gives us which is relatively new in the working world.

How Wireless Internet Providers Change The Way We Use The World Wide Web?

A lot of people have been exposed to the virtual world which is known as the internet. The one who truly changed the face of the online world is no other than the wireless internet.

It's one of the hot spots that I truly recommend, as long you can access the internet for long.

Another way to connect to the wireless internet is to install a wireless network at home. You can install a DSL connection or a standard Ethernet cable provided by local internet service provider or wireless Internet service. Includes a DSL or standard Ethernet, a wireless router installed. Ethernet signals are sent to the modem router wireless signal to a wireless router.

Unlike any other internet service providers like DSL and broadband, wireless internet can give you the opportunity to surf anywhere without the internet cable.

Digital Money In Action: Will the World Embrace a First From Africa?

The advent of mobile telephony in Africa has been slow. The regulatory environment had stifled the growth by creating a bureaucratic red tape that was a hindrance to many mobile phone service providers from the developed world to invest in Africa. To them Africa was a risky place to do business. This was due to the many internecine conflicts that characterized the African nations after many states had gained autonomy from their colonial masters.

But with the advent of information technology Africa had to reform its regulatory environment to allow the uptake of new trends in technology like the mobile phones to avoid being left in a time warp in a world that was moving towards becoming a global village.

Kenya was no exception; with the improvements in the regulatory environment, majority of Kenyans now own a mobile phone.This has been due to the registration of several mobile phone service providers that offered a wide choice and great variety to choose from. There are two major players in this service industry: Safaricom a joint venture between the government of Kenya and Vodafone, UK and Bharti Airtel from India. The choice of the service provider to choose depends on the added functionalities that the provider gives her clients.

The provision of mobile money transfer by the main mobile service phone provider Safaricom has revolutionized the way Kenyans do business. Kenyans in the urban centers and cities across the country have found an efficient, safe and reliable way of sending money to the rural areas. This has provided an opportunity for Kenyans who took long periods away from home to remit funds for school fees, money to plough land, to pay medical bills and many other services. In the urban centers Kenyans are able to pay for utilities from the comfort of their homes provided they have money in their virtual accounts in their mobile phones.
