Hello Blurtters..
WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity.
It is a new technology that helps the mobile Internet users take the advantage of Wireless Technology in a building, office or home.
The user can connect his laptop PC to the Net through this technology.
He has to insert a special card in his PC.
This card can receive signals from a transmission tower that is installed in the building in which, he arrives.
This building could be an office, airport, residential complex, shopping mall etc.
The transmission tower would send Internet signals to the PC through this special card.
The user can connect his PC to the Net and exchange E-mail, G-mail, and data.
He can also surf through various websites of the Net.
Finally, he can also download data from such web sited.
Hence, WiFi is a wireless connection that makes a PC Internet-enable.
It is different from Blue Tooth, which is another wireless technology.
Nowadays, laptops are quite costly viz-a-viz their desktop cousins.
With the passage of time, the cost of the gadgets of WiFi is likely to come down.
Hence, laptops as well as WiFi would be affordable.
WiFi can be used in desktop system as well.
Hence, persons working in a large building can use a single Internet connection to use the information superhighway.
Thus, ideal use of WiFi in desktop is not a distant reality in India.
We should welcome this new technology, which has yet to make deep inroads into the industries, Net cafes and business houses of our country.
Its future is bright because it is a wireless technology.
Thank you:-)
