Modern Technological Madness
 Nowadays,
people connect to the Internet through
WiFi technology or a modem/LAN.
However, people also access many information and communication networks
and receive varied wireless signals with far too many assorted devices.
Limitations
Because
consumers demand several wireless services, they deal with signals
from GPS, radios, cell phones,
WiFi networks,
Bluetooth devices, etc. and must use
multiple costly electronic devices to receive all the signals. 
The Internet is
still a random amalgamation of information. Obscure sites are often
found only by searches that recognize
meta data.
Wireless information, entertainment, and communication is
currently disorganized and chaotic, and poor WEP security makes
technology like
WiFi--slow to begin with--very insecure.
