Topic:
Should Cities Offer Free Public Wi-fi?
Thesis
Cities should not offer free public wifi. It costs the government money and can open up people's devices to threats. Communities are also having trouble getting people out and connecting with others, and free wifi only encourages people to stay stuck on their devices.

You pay lots of money for your devices so do you want to put them at risk?
wifi is an important part of life but offering free wifi just encourages people to be on their phones when they don't have to be

Free wifi is expensive and will cost money.
the government has to find the money somewhere, possibly by increasing taxes
it takes resources away from other sources
people don't like having to spend money to pay for other people using something instead of themselves
Free public wifi can lead to someone inputting a virus onto other people's devices or hacking them
people can have their personal information stolen and can't be tracked to who did it - A VPN (Virtual Private Network), adds security to the device that you're using that's connected to wifi. It hides the user's public IP address and helps you not to be tracked by people while online.

This can wreck people's devices
