Wireless Fidelity has entered into our lives some years now. It solves some problems that wire networks have but generates new. At the moment there are a few advantages and a lot of disadvantages. Wi-Fi can be very useful in many cases and I think it deserves a deep look into it. Also, Wi-Fi has many prospects for further development. Wi-Fi needs specified devices to work properly. The term Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) is used in order to determine the appliances that are based on specification IEEE 802.11 and the faction of ISM band. Wi-Fi also allows devices to connect directly with each other (peer-to-peer mode). This connectivity mode is useful most in gaming applications. When the technology released in the market there were many problems because consumers were not sure if the products from companies would work together. The Wi-Fi Alliance began as a community to solve this and to address the needs of the end-user and allow the technology to mature. 

In Business and industrial environments, as increasing the number of Wi-Fi access points we get faster roaming and increased network capacity by creating smaller cells or by using more channels. Wi-Fi can enable wireless voice applications such as WVOIP. Wi-Fi installations can provide a secure computer network, firewall, DHCP server and other functions. Wireless access points can connect wireless devices to a wired LAN. An access point is something like an Ethernet hub, relaying data between the connected devices. Wireless adapters are connecting in the devices, externally or internally such as USB, PCI and allow devices to connect to the wireless network. Wireless routers integrate a firmware application that provides IP Routing, NAT, and DNS forwarding through an interface. Wireless range extenders (repeaters) can extend the range of the wireless network. If the repeaters are placed in the area smart then the signal can be excellent. The devices that are connected through repeaters may have an increased latency for each hop. Each device will get a signal from the device that gives a better signal. With wireless bridges, we can connect two or more networks between them. This is different from an access point because an access point works at the data-link layer. Wi-Fi allows LANs to be deployed while it reduces the cost of the network deployment. WLANS can be hosted in areas that cannot be run by cables, such as outdoor areas or even historical buildings. The prices for wireless products continue to drop, making it a fair networking option. Wi-Fi has become widespread and more and more devices obtain Wi-Fi technology.

Power consumption is too high compared to other low bandwidth standards, such as Bluetooth, making a concern about the device’s battery life of the Wired Equivalent Privacy is the most usual wireless encryption standard that is used, but shown that can be easily breakable. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2), solved this problem and its available on most products. Most Wi-Fi Access Points have defaulted the security disabled thought, providing open wireless access to their LAN. You can always turn on the security by configuring the device, usually via the graphical user interface (GUI) of the router/access point. Unencrypted networks can be used to read and copy data that are transmitted over the network, unless we have a security method to secure the data, such as VPN, Wi-Fi is a new technology and still under development. Many people may adopt it cause it produces a non- wire environment and others not. I think Wi-Fi will give better quality in the future and may be it will get pass some main problem that it has at the moment.

In the following passage, there are words which have been numbered as well as highlighted which may or may not be appropriate in the context of the passage. If the word highlighted is incorrect and needs improvement then choose any one option suggested given below.

3D Internet, also known as virtual worlds, is a powerful new way for you to reach consumers, business customers, co-workers, partners, and students. It combines the (A)…transparency of television, the versatile content of the Web, and the relationship-building strengths of social networking sites like Face book.

Yet unlike the passive experience of television, the 3D Internet is (B)…abhorrently interactive and engaging. Virtual worlds provide immersive 3D experiences that replicate (and in some cases exceed) real life.

3D Internet is the next generation after the current 2d web.3D Internet consists of interconnected services, presented as virtual worlds. 3D Internet will rely on the same basic technology and components as that of a traditional browser, and it will interact with the same search engines and servers. Aside from the use of 3D computer graphics and personalized avatars, the important difference lies in a much more social experience compared to the two-dimensional Internet of today.3D Internet is (C)…pleasingly social. If you're reading a document, you can see other people reading the same document. You connect organically with other people that share your interests and consume the same services that you do.

However, if we stop and think about the nature of the Internet for a moment we realize that it is nothing but a virtual environment (cyberspace) where people and organizations interact with each other and exchange information. Navigating hierarchical data structures is often (D)….cumbersome for large data sets. 

Unfortunately, the Internet as we know is organized as a flat abstract (E)….sensitive of interconnected hierarchical documents. A typical 2D website is an extremely abstract entity and consists of nothing but a bunch of documents and pictures. Within the website, at every level of the interaction, the developers have to provide the user immediate navigational help.
