Wi-Fi: Will It Ever Catch On? - The Gadget Show #TechMeBackTuesday

Originally aired in 2004: Jason tests out the latest innovation in web browsing, miraculously surfing the web with no wires whatsoever. Who knows if 'Wi-Fi' will ever catch on?

really enjoy these segments, really interesting to look back (not too far back) at what was tech news and what the reactions were. Keep them coming Gadget show crew!

If someone would sit in an open air pub here in Estonia's capital preaching his wirelessness, we would be like "Yes child, explore our gift of free wifi for everyone, for we believe in humanity's birth given right to free wifi"
We've simply had that for almost a decade now. Our economy's still in the shitter tho.

when he says the connects are fast, then my wired internet slows down and buffers.

WiFi doesn't stand for 'Wireless Fidelity'. In fact, it doesn't stand for anything. It was selected by a marketing team because it sounds good, is distinctive and easy to say.
