Have Laptop, Will Travel

One of the best aspects of running a small business is the mobility you enjoy. While the bulk of our work is done at the office, on occasion it is a joy to pop out to a cafe for the afternoon. It adds variety to the week and somehow seems less like "work" when you have a barista 15 feet away and old friends connecting at the next table over. WiFi has truly made our life (and our profession) more enjoyable.

GeekSugar likens today's free wireless access to the free air conditioning of yesteryear.

"Wifi service is quickly becoming the air-conditioning of the Internet age, enticing customers into restaurants and other public spaces in the same way that cold “advertising air” deliberately blasted out the open doors of air-conditioned theaters in the early 20th century to help sell tickets, says The New York Times."

I would have to agree. The deciding factor between one coffeehouse versus another usually boils down to the availability of free WiFi. Even if I love the atmosphere (and coffee) of a particular cafe, you can bet I'm headed next door if I can get online for free. Not sure where your closest hotspot is located?
