My Wireless Lifestyle
Posted by Tad McIlwraith on May 5th, 2008 filed in Ethnography, Everyday Life
Advertizements for retailer Digital Communications on the Team 1040 radio in Vancouver say their cellphones and other wireless products are perfect for my ‘wireless lifestyle.’
What is a wireless lifestyle? If I have wireless internet in my house and a cell phone, do I live a wireless lifestyle?
Ethnographers, please … weigh in …
Further Thoughts:
From a conversation with friends: people have lived wirelessly for most of human history. Most people on the planet continue to live a wireless lifestyle. We became wired in the 1990s(?) with dialup modems and are now shedding the wired tethers.
Oh … that’s not what you mean?
