When I drove through Mountain View, which is the home town of Google, I parked my car and tried to connect to Google Wifi with my notebook PC. As you might know, Google Wifi is a free Internet access service provided by Google in the whole area of Mountain View. Every one who has a laptop PC with Wifi connection and Google account, which can be gotten for free, is supposed to connect to the Internet via Google Wifi. It is a great service showing us the idealistic environment in terms of the Internet in the near future. The day should come soon when we think it stupid to pay lots of money only to connect to the Internet. I hope and it should be that we can connect to the Internet for free or almost free just like tap water. Anyway, I had no map around the driving area in this trip because I knew I could connect to the Internet at least once a day and I could get the map using Google Maps. It was true but I had to purchase a paper map because I couldn't always keep in touch with the Internet. It must be a period of transition and the goal is within a reach.
