Many years ago, I was the first person I knew to purchase a Wi-Fi router. I remember people coming over to the house and asking how I could get on the internet without wires plugged into my laptop.
Fast forward to 2025 and Wi-Fi, where I live at least, is more or less ubiquitous.
The first sentence I so often hear uttered by people when they go to somewhere new is… “do you have Wi-Fi?”, or “can I get the Wi-Fi password?”.
We seem to be increasingly unable to cope without access to the intravenous drip of information coming at us from all sides of the internet.
Whilst fun, I’m not too sure that in the long term this experiment of ‘always connected’ is going to be in the best interests of humanity.
What do you think?
