Wireless Networks....Bane of humanity

I am not sure whose brilliant idea it was to create wireless networks, but clearly they weren't thinking straight when they did. I know people love the idea of no wires, but this technology is so imperfect that it shouldn't even be on the market yet. I get people who call in every day and complain about security keys not working, and networks that don't show up. Let's face it anyway, when it boils down to it a wired connection is much more reliable any day.

I was telling somebody just last night about the pros and cons of wireless versus wired connections. Sure, she didn't seem to agree with me, but that's because she didn't understand half the things I was saying. Every body is all about wireless because it's clean and they can use it with their laptop. Nobody ever stops to consider the notion that it's a wireless device just like any other wireless device and may be prone to the same issues.

Wireless networks are probably no big deal for someone like myself who knows what to do in the case of it failing but what happens when a DigiMoron has one?



I know you've probably seen that 10,000 times but I feel like this is what just may happen when one of the computer illiterate get their hands on a network of their own. Wireless networks are not for the computer stupid or people who expect to pick up and play. It doesn't work that way, computers don't work that way. It's not going to work 100% of the time with out any user input.

In summation, please don't buy a wireless any thing or maybe even a computer if you can't be bothered to find out important things like what your network name is. That's right folks, I said it, I talk to people who don't even know what their network name is. Guess what they also don't know: their WEP key. And sometimes they might not even have a secure network. We all know what that one means: TIME TO EAT UP SOMEONES BANDWIDTH and steal an internet connection.
