With the development of technology, WiFi is becoming more and more popular and important in people’s daily life.But have you ever experienced it? Just imagine what life will be like if there is no Internet.Maybe you won’t be able to talk with friends, play video games or search for information for your homework on the Internet.

But in fact, only one third of the world’s population are able to get information on the Internet.The rest are too poor to buy WiFi access(使用權(quán)) or they live in remote areas.As a result, they live without the Internet.
