    Dumb Question

    I was asked what does wifi stand for? I said Wireless Fidelity. He said I was the first person that has ever been able to answer that.

    Me thinking, I feel sorry for your crowd.

    I was not rude. LMAO

    I had the same question from my daughters kindergarten classmate at "Parent Day" this year.

    Me thinking, great question!

    I was rude and replied "Google It!"

    I don't think it stands for anything. That is to say, it is not an acronym. It's just a name that somebody thought had a good ring to it.

    I went to a restaurant that had free WiFi. I placed my order and asked the waitress if she was my free wifi. I was told they were out of them and on backorder.

    Yup....."Wireless Fidelity" was part of the WiFi Alliance slogan for standards back in the early days of wireless.
