WiFi has achieved the status of being pretty much ubiquitous with modern life. Yet you only have to go back a few years and the majority of devices used in the home still had a wired network connection to transmit and receive data. Unfortunately the truth about WiFi is that it simply can’t offer the performance, range and reliability of a wired network, and there are plenty of reasons why. Here are a few of them.

Popular Website: Then Vs Now
The web has changed a whole bunch since its inception and rise to prominence in the early 90s. Major companies were usually pretty quick to register their own domains, even if the content of their sites was minuscule compared to today.
Join me as I take a look at some of the most popular websites today, back through time. Interestingly, some of the websites for major companies like LG and Sky didn’t even belong to the companies they’re associated with now back in the day!
