Should cities offer free public Wi-Fi?
By: Alex Tang, 7S
Hook
Imagine walking in a city park, urgently needing to receive or send an important message, or looking for a direction in a map, but you are stuck with no internet access. Shouldn't free Wi-Fi be as common as clean water and public washrooms?
In our society today, many people can access information on the go, but what happens when they run out of data and there is no free Wi-Fi available?
Free Wi-Fi is not only a matter of convenience, it is a necessity in our every day life!
History and Background
In the early days of wireless networking, the ALOHAnet proved that wireless connection to the Hawaiian Islands was possible, which began the technology we know today.
Between 1985-1997, industry standards for band width use and guidelines were developed which provided the technical foundation of Wi-Fi.
The Idea of free Wi-Fi began when the popularity of wireless devices grew a demand for wireless connection.
By the late 1990s, large companies incorporated Wi-Fi into their products and made it widely available to its consumers.
Thesis
In a modern world where we rely on the internet for information, free Wi-Fi would allow us to stay connected.
Free Wi-Fi is not just about access to the internet, it is about including people who cannot afford it otherwise.
