WiFi Security
I continue to be amazed by the gap that exists between those who understand technology and typical everyday users. The other day I had someone ask me for help because they could no longer connect to the Drury Inn WiFi network from their house and thought it was a problem with their computer.
Confused by this question, I said "But you don't live by the Drury Inn!?" which in turn frustrated my friend who said "I know! What difference does that make, it was free WiFi and I need it back!" After a short lesson on why he shouldn't be using that network (and that it being gone was a good thing!) it made me realize that more people could probably benefit from a quick refresher on how WiFi works and some simple tips to stay safe.
I created a short video that discusses WiFi in a way that hopefully gets the point across to those who aren't well versed in technical jargon. I hope you find the video informative. Please think about sharing with friends and family who may need some extra help when it comes to technology!
