    You’d think they’d notice they can use the internet from their phones when there’s no wifi.

      If it’s not connected to a cord, it’s wifi. Now try and explaining those nuances to them that there’s more than one-type of wireless signal.

      Wifi is easier and simpler. Sometime I find myself making the mistake…

      In construction there’s a similar issue (with grown men even). A circular saw is the tool, but everyone calls it a skilsaw, which is a brand name. You can correct them, they just don’t care, that’s what the tool is called, a skilsaw.

        I hold out hope they’ll figure out the difference when they have to pay for separate subscriptions for cellular data and home internet service.

          Some places have mobile (cellular and internet) and home internet, so that’s not likely to help some people.

        TIL skilsaw was a brand name. I thought it just just the guy making Doom maps.

      Or you’d think it would also be very easy to demonstrate you can be on wifi and not on the internet.
