Disadvantages:

 Network fluctuations.
 Illiterates cannot get information.
 Continuous electricity needed.

Now that our society is becoming more digital, if we really want

to make changes that are appropriate for this age, we must employ
new strategies. Wireless technology allows for quick data transfer
across great distances. It saves time, money on cables, and reduces
the overall complexity of the system. Data can be transmitted from
