At the very beginning of the era of widespread Internet those who were fortunate enough to have access to the world wide web went online at dial-up speeds and felt themselves fortunate to do so. The world changed then, just with being able to communicate and access previously unimaginable amounts of information. Standing on what was the forefront of information technology it would have been easy to think that there were no more boundaries to cross. The notion of every home with broadband was but a fantasy that your average surfer could not even imagine, but that came, and then entered the era of wireless internet. A few years after being restricted to dial-up, everything has changed.

For those who were around from before the Internet, when research meant having to go to a library and get a book, the last two decades must feel almost surreal. For many it may even be somewhat alienating having so much change about technology in so short a time. The transition from paper to hand-held tablet is a great one, indeed. Yet, great and overwhelming though these changes may be, they also hold great promise for those who choose to embrace them. Wireless Internet comes with a vast array opportunities. Now you can do everything no matter where you are. You are no longer limited to accessing the Internet from a desktop. No longer do you need a device with an Ethernet port in order to communicate with the world. Computers are no longer bound with cables to one place. With a tablet computer or e-reader it is possible to write and upload a thesis or a novel while on an Interstate bus-ride, or carry your entire collection of books in a backpack. While all of these might sound like mere minor conveniences, the truth is they all add up to big things like efficiency, productivity, accomplishment.
