Wireless Advantages

I beleive that having a wireless connection to the internet world is a huge advantage for college students. With the posibility of moving around your personal computer, you are able to meet in a classmate dorm and do group projects much easily, you are able to go places were you can concentrate better and do a much better work. I usually take my laptop with me and sit below the trees between Herndon hall and Beze hall and it is the best place for me to concentrate. Specially in college were you share your room with other 3 people, having the possibility to move your computer out of the room and be able to find a better place to work without distractions is one of the greastest advantages of a wireless connection. Here is a link to an article which describes some advantages I find interesting about college and wireless connection.
