Pressing the power button on a computer screen after getting to the office or arriving home has become as commonplace as flicking on a light switch when you enter a room. While a laptop can function as a separate entity, it is primarily seen as a way to get connected. From daily tasks like sending emails or reading the news to shopping, gaming, trip planning, e-learning, and more, wireless internet availability suggests that the digital age is in full force in cities everywhere.

Technology permeates the modern existence, especially affecting how people communicate around the world. Yet as much as younger generations have come to accept this fact as reality, it is still relatively new. Just two decades ago, if you moved to the West, it would have been expensive to stay in touch with a friend still living on the east coast. And, when it came to day-to-day planning around town, you had to make arrangements and stick to them because there were no cell phones to call or send a message if you were running late. Access to knowledge was also limited. If you could not find an answer to a question by asking someone or looking it up in a book somewhere, you would have been out of luck.


These days information flows virtually instantaneously across distances as it crosses vast oceans, immense deserts, and towering mountain ranges. The number of online users grows with each passing day, indicative of a tendency that promises to continue for years. As a result, when you have wireless internet, there are more and more activities you can do online. Email hosts such as Gmail offer chat, voice, and even video services all in one place. Facebook lets people reach out to others, some of whom they may not have seen for years or even decades. Skype allows for computer-to-computer communication free of charge, even if you talk for hours.

The question then becomes how to connect. Terrestrial-based services such as satellite, DSL, and cable offer high-speed access from specific physical locations such as the home and the office. The establishment of Wi-Fi zones in places such as educational institutions and coffee shops lets users connect without wires. But unless you are planning on staying within a 10 yard radius of one spot all day, Wi-Fi does not fill the void. If you want truly mobile broadband, it is necessary to turn to a network such as 4G.


Major metropolitan areas from New York to Los Angeles, and everywhere in-between, have already jumped on board. Quite a number of small towns are also establishing networks, although exact coverage will depend on where you live. When you have 4G by your side, the possibilities expand exponentially. Fast, reliable connectivity stays with you during the commute to work on the bus, outdoors at a park, or while traveling in the passenger seat in a carpool. Joining up to the network means that you become fully connected to the digital era that is here to stay.
