Currently, internet technology has emerged rapidly. Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) is one of the technologies that have been implemented in many sectors all around the world. The background of implementing WiFi is because wired technology has limited functions to people who want to access the internet. Even though most people think that free WiFi is not really advantageous, I strongly believe that with free WiFi, people can easily access the internet to browse about information and it will increase the productivity of the citizens. However, there will be a chance for hackers to sniff the personal information.
Wireless internet is a source of information. In fact, the internet can spread the information faster than any other media such as TV, radio, newspaper, etc. Nowadays, it is an effective source of spreading news all over the world. In this globalization era, citizens shouldn’t left behind about what is happening on the other side of the world. According to recent study by University of Oxford in 2013, it shows that 69.93% of people in India have more information after implementing free WiFi in City Park. Thus, the government should implement free WiFi to all cities in order to make its citizens more knowledgeable.
Another reason why providing free wireless internet to all cities has more advantages than disadvantages is because it will increase the productivity of the citizens. People could work virtually anywhere when there is free WiFi provided. According to Minister of transportation in 2015, he said that most people spend half of their life on the road due to traffic jam. Therefore, free wireless could help the people to stay anywhere to submit their work. In addition, housewife who has ability to make online business can also use this facility. As mentioned before, free wireless can increase the productivity of the citizens.
Some people think that free wireless is not safe, due to hacker’s activity to sniff our personal information. These people have the opinion that many cases happened last year involve hacker’s activity, for example, online banking: you check the balance in your bank account, then your phone gets hacked; not only is that an invasion of privacy, but all of your money is now gone. However, I strongly disagree with all these opinions. I think free wireless internet is safe. The new encryption 256 bit technology has been implemented to protect the user access. The network security analyst has confirmed that hackers will need thousand to million years to decry-pt the information from user, therefore, it safe to all users.
In conclusion, free wireless internet has more advantages than disadvantages because internet is source of information and can increase the productivity of citizens. Therefore, we should not have all negative views towards implementing free wireless to all cities. As its very beneficial and significant invention which can change the way of people think. Once again, I totally agree that government should provide free wireless internet to all cities.
