It was a little play on words. We were familiar with HIFIdelity, which was another marketing term but, at least, supposed to have some element of being true to the sounds that were broadcast. Now, there is Wi-Fi. Where do you find it?
I've already said something on TEG about being surprised to find public WiFi both at my wife's MD's office but also in the parking lot - from the building supply outfit across the street!. That's cool - these are businesses and sitting in a waiting room or connecting back to the jobsite make these perks, useful and appreciated.
How about your home? Do you have WiFi? Did you know that internet service providers (Comcast's Xfinity) allow others to tap into the net using your modem? Yeah, just as you decide to post something on TEG or pay that bill, someone stops at the convenience store down the block and clicks onto the internet using the modem in your back room.
Can't happen?! You've got security and a password?! Company would never allow it? Oh, yeah? Comcast uses it as a selling point for their services - your modem for their other customers. Xfinity is Everywhere!.
Comcast says there is a wall between and secure access is secure but is it slowing your access? They say it shouldn't be ...
How about what the guy in the parking lot is doing? Are you ready to share responsibility for that? If he has stolen a credit card and is scoring some loot or he is dealing and his contact is under law enforcement surveillance - you are happy to have him and his evil ways sitting in your living room? He may as well be. It's just as tho he pulled up a chair and began to stink up the place. At least, that is how it seems to me but I'd sure like to be wrong.
