Wi-Fi Can Increase Productivity
I’m sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for my flight. The airplane we are to use to St. Louis is in flight from LA but won’t arrive until after our scheduled departure time. But, the free wi-fi (wireless internet) in the airport has allowed me to get caught up on some work -related emails and now make this post.
