Trace me through Wi-Fi

By ET

This is not a figure of nebula.  It shows the wireless usage at MIT campus.  MIT has upgraded the wireless network through out the campus.  Now you can have a look at which bulidings have the most laptops.  The red area on the right should be Sloan school.  It’s tempting to list my name through the link at iSpots, but then I have the privacy concerns.  Why would I allow everyone in the world to potentially track where I am?

On the website: New wireless communications technologies are changing the way we live and work. This fact is particularly evident at MIT, thanks to the presence of two conditions: 1) the very high percentage of laptop computer ownership on campus; and 2) the existence of one of the most pervasive wireless Internet networks on earth, which includes over 2,800 access points and was completed at the end of October 2005.
