Are We WiFi Snobs? Doh!
Hmm.
I will admit that I have slowly become a WiFi snob. I expect a building and location to have a wireless access point and if it doesn’t I quickly dismiss it as being stuck in the stone-age.
I need to stop that (and maybe you do too).
Perhaps it’s a good thing that not all locations have wireless access. Perhaps we need to appreciate the “down” times. And I certainly don’t want to raise my daughter with expectations that are unreasonable.
Let’s move beyond the snobbery!
Buzz it!

Measuring Success in a World of Digital Pirates
i’ve been in classrooms at DTS and know exactly what you’re talking about. i was amazed that they have buildings with no wi-fi. but, if they had, i wouldn’t have paid as much attention as i did…
Perhaps I’m a WiFi snob, but what’s the deal with churches that have WiFi, but it’s LOCKED? “Hey, check out our website…sometime…some place else…’cause you’re sure not going to do it here.”
Personal opinion…if you’re a church and you know how to spell wifi, OPEN it!
Yeah, my school’s not the best with wi-fi. Depending on where you are you may or may not have wi-fi, and by where you are, I mean the difference between full strength and nothing is one classroom.
What really irks me is that computer labs don’t have wifi, so the three students and many teachers who bring their own computers (this is a high school) don’t have it when they’re in places everyone else is using the internet. Though the library has really good wifi.
I must say I am a super snob. I would be not be if the building I worked in, I work in IT, had it but we don’t.
Have you ever heard of an IT shop without wifi in the building? Darn economy they say pfffttt.
Look at it another way – rather than consider ourselevs as snobs because a building doesn’t have wifi then why not instead learn to kickback and take the downtime.
We’re too hyper-connected as it is and a recent study by Stanford’s CHIMe Lab has shown that being hyper-connected and attempting to multi-task our way through the days is that we never learn to shutdown and actualy become poorer at communciating because of our attempts to improve.
