critique #2


Candy Crush on airplanes? I've seen billboards around advertising new planes coming out with WiFi soon, and honestly that scares me. Are people really willing to risk radio interference just because they can't take a couple of hours break from technology? USA Today posted an article about Wifi on planes stating it needs more study, and I couldn't agree more.

          Actor Alec Baldwin is reportedly the one that started it all after refusing to shut down a game on his phone. The ban to keep your phone completely off during takeoff and landing is being questioned and a proposal whether or not to allow to keep it in “airplane mode” is being pushed into affect.

I feel like companies are jumping the gun and not checking every technoligcal device and how it can interfere and affect flights just to be the first few flight companies to have Wifi. And really, are flight attendants really going to go through the trouble of checking everyone who has their phone out? Are fliers going to allow them to do that, will they even bother in the first place to put their phone in airplane mode?
