Into the Wild With WiFi

Are we at a point where we can’t go anywhere without a connection to the Internet? In an article in Tech News World by Gary Stoller, it is reported that many state parks are offering WiFi to visitors. Internet is provided in campgrounds, lodges, and visitor centers. Providers of the service say that visitors can now plan their activities better because they can check information, such as weather, more readily. It also allows adults or students to stay longer in the parks or keep a child entertained. Some outdoor enthusiasts do not like the idea because they go to the park to escape technology, but the number of state parks with WiFi is growing rapidly anyway. In the end, WiFi is there for park visitors who want to use it while being unobtrusive to people who don’t.
