The Next New Thing

The next new thing that I think would be very beneficial to society is wi-fi internet availability as well as cellular phone service in the subway systems of the major cities. This form of new media would be very good because it would allow people to connect with other people in numerous ways in a place where currently there would be no way of reaching that person. It would also be very beneficial in crisis situations. For example in case of a terrorist attack or even a natural disaster, people that are underground would, for obvious reasons, currently be considered sitting ducks because they probably wouldn't even know about an attack. On the other hand, if they were to have cellular connection and internet connection, they would be able to find out what was going on and what they can do to avoid any danger. If people were to have this service, it would be very beneficial for them in todays world.
