With the invention and rise of wireless technology, it definitely changed the way we think about public and private spaces. Wireless technology revolves around the internet and without it, wireless technology would not be possible. Examples of wireless technology includes GPS, Garage Door/Motion Detection openers, wireless headphones/headsets/computer mouses, game consoles, any many more. In public spaces, there are a few places where there is public wifi where everyone can access wifi. In private places, one can use airplay on their phone to a smart TV to watch videos/something on the phone with others or by yourself. Wireless technology has changed both public and private spaces, and the upcoming rise of AI (alexa, siri, etc), who knows what can happen next.
In professor Brucker-Cohen article on his Wifi-Hog, it seemed interesting to see what that was about. According to the text, It was meant to allow traffic originating from the Wifi-Hogger’s IP address to access the network, otherwise the PVJ is switched on, blocking others from connecting to the open node. This affects public spaces because others are not allowed to use wifi from the public wifi.
