From the Paper:

"Wireless technology essentially refers to how one accesses the internet via any wireless methodology and is commonly known as WiFi or wireless fidelity. Security and privacy are important concerns in relation to the internet in any circumstance but these concerns are heightened when wireless technology is concerned because anyone with the appropriate technology can access networks across the internet via wireless access points even with appropriate security enhancements. The internet and all of the convenience, entertainment, and community it fosters often overshadows a darker underbelly that tends to get lost in all the popular press on the great things that are being done across this vast, global network which are concerns heightened with wireless access."
