I pay monthly for the iPhone, they are so cheap you have to be really poor not to be able to have an iPhone. My Mac Book was 2nd hand from a family member – Yippee! My point is some poor people like me need to use free Wi-Fi in my case at my local Costa, Starbucks or Nero’s or anywhere free on my cell network package or just anywhere free. I update my system software on both my Mac Book an iPhone and also download music – all free, except for the price of coffee. No cable subscription! Ye Im a freeloader!

At that point other methods can be used to gain access to the information. It’s utter negligence, but it happens.

I always use a VPN, and rarely send or receive any important data from a public WiFi network, so I haven’t been too concerned.

Getting a change of scenery and being out among people.

For people who work from home, it can be nice to get out of the home office once in a while. I do most of my serious work in an office or home office setting, but it can be nice to get out from behind my desk and take a “break” to work on some lighter stuff like replying to lower priority emails or (Heaven forfend!) reading some web sites.

Honest question, honest answer.

Excellent- encourage more laziness and stagnation. The Wall-E Dystopia comes to life…(I’m scared—are you?).
