Dongles on January 2nd, 2010
So, tell me people, did you get a dongle for Christmas? Internet dongle sales look like they shot up again this year and it’s not surprising with the amount of people going online. Wifi dongles are the new thing to have when you’re out and about, and they keep you connected pretty much wherever you are…
I got my son a dongle for Christmas and it’s a pay as you go dongle. It seems to be doing him the job it’s supposed to, but i’m not sure i’m going to get any of his chores done while he carries around his new laptop and dongle from room to room surfing interent porn! I’m just kidding of course, he’ll do this in the privacy of his own room i’d imagine!
The pay as you go dongle helps him because he’s a student and he’s on a low income (when his loan has disappeared anyway; then i become his new best friend). So what he will inevitably begin to do is top up his internet dongle just like he tops up the credit on his mobile phone; well, i imagine that’s how it will work. Goodness me, i can remember when there was no such thing as a mobile phone, and the newest thing out there was a keypad telephone!
Anyway, if you have a laptop and you need to work or surf on the go, you need to get hold of an internet dongle. Internet dongles are available all over the place really, but you should find a few ideas on this website.
Good luck
Most of you will think that a dongle is a ridiculous name for a device that provides mobile, wireless internet, and you’d be right. But there is no disputing that dongles have revolutionised the communications world in ways that we in the 1970s could have only dreamed about…
The name originates from nothing really, the creators couldn’t think of a good name for a dongle so they called it a dongle because it simply sounded a bit funny; and a bit rude!
Dongles now provide hundreds of thousands of people with reliable wireless internet across the country. Depending on your package, a simple USB plug in dongle can provide hours of internet usuage. This is why pay as you go dongles are becoming very popular these days. Young people in particular, who don’t have access to the same financial resources as their parents are all opting for pay as you go dongles; having said that, it’s probably the parents who are paying for it anyway. Getting a pay as you go dongle has quite literally become as easy as topping up your mobile phone.
My daughter uses a dongle for her laptop and i’ve never looked back since i first introduced her to it. Now she pays for her own online time, particularly useful to her because she spends most of her time outside of the house! These teenagers never stand still these days; they’re all sitting in Starbucks trying to look cool with their laptop and Starbucks logo on their cup! When did Starbucks become such a fashion accessory, that’s what i’d like to know?
Anyway, get your teenagers out of your hair, get yourself mobile with an internet dongle.
I’ve been looking at these free laptop deals with your dongle broadband packages. Many people will opt for this because they don’t want the initial outlay of a laptop computer; it’s a very clever sales pitch really, but just how good is it for you? Read more »
