With the 4G network, users get a reliable, high speed internet connection comparable to the same internet connection that you enjoy at home or at the office. The 3G network provides you a reliable enough connection to perform basic functions on the internet; however, its slower data transfer speeds does not provide enough power for you to do functions such as large downloads and uploads, video chatting, and quick video streaming.
The improvements in mobile internet technology now allows for the 4G network to provide its users with a wireless internet technology that they can access from their smart phones or laptop computers. With just a mobile air card, you can log onto the worldwide web from your laptop no matter where you may be in the city-so long as you receive a strong enough signal. No longer do you need to find a café or an internet hotspot use the internet because the 4G network no functions are your own hotspot.
This has many implications for the obtaining and sharing of information on the internet. With millions of users worldwide connected to one another via the social media networking phenomenon, Facebook, people can easily stay connected with old childhood friends, current college buddies, and even acquaintances from traveling, parties, or events. Thus, within minutes of an event, that information can be shared with your personal social network almost instantaneously. A protest and a show of police brutality can be filmed and photographed with a smart phone and shared with your entire network within seconds. Personal blogs can also provide a forum for news coverage from alternative perspectives. The internet enables people to voice their personal opinions and share the truth, bypassing traditional forms of the media.
Having the 4G wireless internet readily available on your smart phone more easily allows regular citizens to share information with one another. Moreover, with the internet connecting activists and youth throughout the world and with such social media networking technology, people can display solidarity with movements such as the Zapatistas, the youth democracy movement in Iran, and other such activist organizations throughout the world through the means of the internet. Now, with a wireless connection, it makes it that much more convenient.
