Even Six-Year-Olds Get Wi-Fi

By Mark Evans | Published: June 28, 2006

A funny story from a friend that's far too good not to share. After picking up his son from an appointment, my friend gets into a conversation and lets his six-year-old son play with his laptop in the backseat of the car. When my friend starts to drive away several minutes later, his son yells “Stop!”. “What's the matter?,” my friend asks bringing the car to a quick halt. His son excitedly replies, “I've got a wireless [Wi-Fi] connection and I'll lose Nick Jr. if you drive away”. That's funny.

    What is it about 6 year olds, wifi and NickJr?
    In the hospital (CHEO) emergency room with my 6 year old and expecting a long wait, I bring in my laptop to get a little work done while she snoozes. Lo and behold, CHEO has free wifi for visitors! No naps were taken and no work was done, but we spent an awful lot of time on NickJR that day. Interestingly, not only were there no signs in emerg indicating the availability of wifi, but without exception, every passing nurse and doctor was surprised to learn about this free service.
    Now if only I wasn't using my company laptop, I could have downloaded a VoIP client and by-passed that nasty hospital cell-phone ban!
