My father in law still remembers the day when a single computer occupied a room, and needed filing cabinet after filing cabinet of punched cards to process a simple program. His first desktop PC had a smaller memory capacity than today’s cellular phone, and he needed about 12 huge floppies to install a single software.

Just 15 years later my computer is smaller and lighter than his briefcase, can play movies and run games that look like movies, and can access huge amounts of information in a click. From the bulky mainframes and cardboard cards comes the complete freedom of WiFi: none of the wires, all of the power, and lightning speed efficiency.

It’s mind-boggling to think about how quickly computer technology has evolved in little over a decade. And how much easier, and efficient, work has become because of it. I can work anywhere, which also means I can take more vacations and spend time with my family. My father in law could never leave the office; with WiFi, I take my office with me. Sometimes I even take two, three days off, where I work from home so I can be with my daughter. While she naps, I type away, sending emails and researching for my next project, and then shut it off when she wakes up and it’s ready to play. Thus WI FI fulfills the vision that computers were created for: to give its users the chance to work smarter, and live better.
