Hi everyone, Sean here to wish youHappy World Wi-Fi Day!Let's talk about what World Wi-Fi Day means, the digital divide and how my life would be without access to the Internet.

You might ask what is World Wi-Fi Day?World Wi-Fi Day is a worldwide initiative organized by the Wireless Broadband Alliance under the leadership of the互联城市顾问委员会to help bridge the digital divide. The push is to help connect the unconnected.
“好的,酋长,那是什么数字鸿沟?”You may have never thought about the digital divide, but I believe the single biggest thing that sets people apart in the world is their access to the Internet. The digital divide is the gap between the people who have and use the Internet and the people who don't have access to the Internet or just simply don't use it.
World Wi-Fi Day is about Wi-Fi because it's one of our most used Internet access methods. To me, World Wi-Fi Day initiatives represent more then just Wi-Fi. It's about helping others around the world become connected.
只要想一想所连接的所有好处就可以给我们:洞察力,帮助寻找工作,旅行和寻找位置,远程工作,访问数字和社交媒体以及knowledge to do anything!Without Internet access, you're at a big disadvantage.

I couldn't imagine a life without Internet access. It has to be rough being on the other side of the digital divide, cut off from family, jobs and knowledge. Even worse than that, think about going every day和Internet access, then suddenlynothaving it. What things in your day would you have to do differently? Would it be a struggle to accomplish your everyday tasks?
Let's take a look at my day and see what would happen to me. First off, I wake up every morning at 6:30 a.m. viaGoogle Homeand a fewPhilips Hue lights那会自动打开。由于两者都是通过我的在线资料控制的,所以我想我不会准时起床。

After checking emails on my phone (oh wait, I couldn't), I head over to myWithings scaleto see if I lost any weight. I would be able to see my weight and heart rate, but it would no longer be logged in my app and I would need to write it down if I wanted to keep track of it.
So, here I am at 6:35 in the morning, and already four things aren't working. As I hop in the shower, I ask my Google Home to play the news or stream music. I guess I will start this day less informed.
在去健身房的路上,我通常stream musicso that is out of the question. Once I get to the gym, I track my workout withan app上my phone,heart rate monitorandstep trackeras well as stream music. I would have to break out my CD player—if I could find it. My step tracker and heart rate monitor would still work, but like my scale, the data wouldn't be logged.
OK, so now it's 8:30 a.m. and it's time for work but wait...My whole job is via the Internet. Hurray! I get the day off.
Anyway, this is just a small example of how my life is connected to the Internet. I could talk all day about all my other Internet of Things devices that wouldn't work anymore. Don't forget all the apps we use to make our lives more efficient likeChromecast,Moleskin智能写作,Wunderlist for to-dosEvernote的笔记,slow cookers,security cameras,门锁s, applets fromifttt,and more. They wouldn't work either.

我将如何与我的朋友和家人沟通并跟上?我需要每天回去打电话或发短信,以了解他们在做什么。不再访问Facebook,Twitter,Skype和其他使者。
The absolute biggest thing I would miss would be the ability toask Google。我出门在外的时候偶尔会去世,那是我提出数百万个Google问题的时候。访问互联网给我一种安全感和知识感。有了Google,我可以了解任何事情。没有它,我感到不足,受到阻碍且知识不足。
I shared my story. Now share with us how your daily life would change without access to the Internet. Would you totally collapse and cry? Hide in your room all day? Or simply go about your day like nothing has changed, happy to live in a pre-digital age? I look forward to seeing your responses.
记住,像往常一样,继续分享并保持关怀。
