WiFi Scanner for Windows 8 Phone?

After introducing you guys (readers) into the windows 8 system already now lets scan into the features of the windows 8 smart phone. Microsoft in partner with Devicescape develop this technology where a windows 8 smart phone is able to scan and find the best quality WiFi around the area or the one that is commonly use by most of the people. You are able to turn it on or off in which turning it on will minimize the number of hot spots appearing because the system will only search for WiFi that are free, that has no security lock and it would also take out the WiFi that might do harm to your information. It will only be able to detect the most famous hot spots around the area which will safe time from you for searching the right one that is connectable also. This system will also provide you are map which shows you where the hot spot is coming from so you don't accidently click into somebody else's WiFi. This technology would be able to serve a better comfort on  helping us to find the correct free hotspot and save our time.

  • Devicescpe and Microsoft develop the automatic free WiFi hotspot scanner
  • This system will be able you to find the best WiFi around and it will tell you what speed and performance it has while using it
  • Help you save time for choosing the right WiFi that fits you which shows a map and a brief discrption about the hot spot.
Potential Strengths/Advantages

The strengths the author have is that he clearly described what this new technology will do in which he gives examples what it can do like he described that it is able to find the best hot spots around and shows a map. They are strengths because it able the people know more about this technology and what it can do so people who are interested in buying this window 8 phone know what good specs that this phone has that is different from other smart phones and he made sure that people know how this technology is beneficial.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

There a few problems or negative side of this article in which I think that the author repeats most of the information about this technology too much which I think that reading the article for a long time thinks that it's boring because of the repetition of many things. Another disadvantage about this article is that the author uses  hard vocab so readers might get bored like me in which I find the topic interesting but the author's explain-nation really boring after reading which makes me lose interest in the topic.

Discussion Questions

I wonder many things about this article in which the first question I want to ask is that is it true that this system will show the map of that hot spot which I think that it might be possible. Another question I have is that will it be possible to be used or enforce into Thailand because this article is based on America. I always face problems finding a free WiFi in Thailand at many places and I also want the best WiFi because if the internet is slow I always get mad.
