This article written by Alex Davies details the creation of a new antenna that would facilitate a better wifi connection in planes. This may seen mundane, however this is huge in term of steps forward in wireless technology. It also shows the state of the American economy because inventors have the option to focus on more "fun" ideas rather than necessities.
This can be compared to the leisure inventions of the 50's, specifically the television. The television soon became a must have item, most household have multiple. Now that computers are just as ubiquitous we are finding new ways to include them into our everyday lives
