Wireless Internet or WiFi uses radio waves just as radios and televisions do. In fact it is very similar to a two-way radio connection. First, a computer's wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and then transmits it via an intenna. Second, a wireless router recieves the signal and decodes it. The information is then sent to a wired Ethernet connection. This process also works in reverse. The wireless internet adapter transmits the translated data via intenna. The data is then recieved by a wireless router such as the ones to above and is decoded. More recent laptops have these routers built within them.

Throughout the last two decades LapTops keep becoming more advanced, affordable and lighter/smaller. The latest advancment was public wireless connection. And within the next few decades LapTops will become even greater.
