Wireless is getting better and better. Where I live, ATT is literally the only cell service. When I first moved here years ago, cell service sucked. Half a mile out of town and no service. Mostly due to terrain. In the mountains.
Now, cell service is great and works pretty far up the mountain. I can even get a small signal on one lake I frequent. Which used to be miles outside coverage.
Comcast came out and upgraded my router for Internet. It's really fast and now, I can connect to wifi and get almost a block away before it'll stop streaming video. Not that I need that, but we tested it just for fun.
Point is, in a town where 5 years ago it was really hard to get any service (satellite is still iffy due to so many trees), now the service is great. And it keeps getting better.
Personally, I could live just fine without it all. Of course. We all could. But it sure is nice sometimes. I bet 20 years from now we won't recognize the way we communicate. It'll either be so high tech we can't imagine it now, or back to smoke signals because we went too far. Haha
Are you saying the sky *isn't* falling??
Ahhh shucks - it's NOT a meteor or UFO - just space junk burning up on re-entry.
Makes good fodder for lots of cannons, though...:W
