Lab Notes

San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra J. Saunders doesn't think that San Francisco should roll out municipal Wi-Fi because many of its children can't read. What's more, the network will be a "white elephant" because at some point in the future, newer Wi-Fi standards will make the current equipment obsolete. She also apparently believes that since the network hasn't yet been built, that it never will be built ("it's vaporware!"). Finally, because the mayor didn't return her phone call, she feels that he doesn't understand technology. It's impressive that Saunders could pack so many straw man arguments into such a short column.
