Create A Wifi HotSpot! With a Mac, an Ethernet Connection, and Airport.
How I Make Money Online:

http://failblog.org/2009/06/22/urinal-fail-3/
This video will show you how to make a wireless internet hotspot (basically a wifi zone) with just your mac, an ethernet cord (connected to your modem of course), and airport.
TAKE NOTE: Most mac computers already have airport compatibility on their computers. If you have bought a mac within the last 2 and maybe 3 years, you most likely will have airport compatibility.
Watching this video will help you releive the stress of having to deal with a router (I myslef had trouble using a router).
When you create your hotspot you will be able to use internet on:
*Your iPod Touch (first and second generation (1st gen), and second generation (2nd gen, or 2g) (any ipod touch version for future references))
*Your Sony PSP (includes psp 1000, 2000, and 3000 series (any version of psp, for future references))
*Another computer that has wifi compatibility
***basically anything that supports wireless internet.
Enjoy.
I did not find this out myself, I was lurking around youtube, and found a video.
This is not the video where I found it from, but it is really similar. The video will show you how to do this on MAC, Vista, and XP (Windows Vista, Windows XP)
I did not make the above linked video.
Comments by YouTube users:
“For those who are clueless:
The ethernet cord is what transfers the data from your modem to the computer. The modem is what connects to your ISP to get an internet connection. He is using the built in AirPort Card in his Mac Mini to broadcast the connection.
Hope that helped.”

Why Is Wireless Technology Is Taking Over How We Live ?
Wireless Internet technology, also known as WiFi, is really taking over the way people access the Internet and it has become widely popular in a very short time. The reason for this is it allows individuals to access the Internet via a network hot spot without the use of cables or wires. The signal is simply transferred through radio signals, which makes connecting to the Internet via your computer in different locations very easy.
Since wireless technology makes connecting to the Internet as simple as possible, many businesses, universities, hotels, cafes, schools, airports and homes are realizing the importance of offering easy Internet connections to both students and professionals. Generally, hotspots are offered to patrons at a reasonable hourly rate or either free, depending on where the hot spot is and who the target market is.
The one disadvantage these businesses have that install wireless networks is that any user in the area of the network can log on. For those offering free service this is not big deal, but for those charging for Internet it is. There are, however, security precautions that can eliminate unauthorized users that include a virtual private network and Internet Protocol Security.
The hot spots are really catching on worldwide, so if you are traveling or even just in your city, you will notice many areas that say hot spot or Internet zone. Cafes and bookstores as well as hotels and airports are some of the more popular areas that you will see on a regular basis with hot spots. However, more and more locations are noticing the need for this service and offering it.
If wireless Internet is something you really enjoy in the real world, then you can also have it in your own private home or business. It makes working or surfing the web significantly easier for all the Internet users because you can work wherever you need or want without the hassle of a lot of wires and cables. So, if you want wireless Internet go ahead and have it installed or install it yourself because it is really effortless and takes little time.
There is some equipment you will need to get started, of which you can buy yourself or pay a technician for all of the equipment and the service of installing the wireless Internet. Basically, you need to have a high speed Internet service, a router, and then each computer that will access the network needs a wireless Internet card if you did not buy it WiFi ready.
If you want to install wireless yourself you should simply buy the recommended materials and then follow the directions. There is a lot of help online that will guide you through the process. However, if you don’t feel like dealing with the headache then simply hire a technician to handle the whole process for you.
Finally, when you have wireless Internet installed in your home or office, remember that you should take some precautions to prevent your neighbors or other unauthorized users from stealing your Internet. A virtual private network or Internet Protocol Security will secure your network and allow only authorized users to connect.

Broadband Gives You Access To The Internet, Phone And Tv
Do you remember using the Internet back when you had to dial in using a modem. If you are unlucky enough to still be using dial-up Internet access, I feel for you. The internet is a growing and dynamic entity and everyone will have broadband sooner or later.
Naturally companies try to offer access to internet in growing number of ways. Assuming the user has the correct hardware, a wi-fi account, and is in range of the transmitters, the service allows the user to connect to the internet at broadband speeds without the use of cables. Users can log on to the internet at these hotspots provided they have an account with the broadband supplier and the necessary wireless equipment, such as a wireless laptop or broadband-enabled mobile phone.
An extra phone is the only way to get calls that cannot be received due to the dial up connection. Fixed line operators are now incorporating wireless with their traditional phone services providing ease of having one device and one bill for both mobile and fixed line calls. You can take it out of your phone bill.
Broadband phone actually uses voice over internet protocol (VoIP) to carry phone calls through the internet. There are also a number of companies that has VoIP as a free service.
Digital Subscriber Lines, or DSL uses the existing customer phone lines to provide internet or intranet access to businesses and homes using high-speed broadband technology of varying levels. But even with all the technology that has gone into the making of the Internet, there seems to be more to be expected than has been seen. It’s easy to understand why; the technology industry defines it in different ways as well.
Just be sure you do not choose an ISDN line (because it is getting obsolete) or power line (because the technology is not mature, and it will be some years before the bugs are ironed out). The cheapest broadband deals allow for such technology to reach our homes for less than $10 per month.
Ok, on to the two major broadband access methods, cable and DSL. There is cable access, DSL access, satellite access. Although cable broadband internet is a whole lot faster than dial-up, I usually experience a slight delay when opening a webpage.
Perhaps most people do not notice the latency associated with cable internet, but it got my attention right away. So are cable television modems, which have similar speeds. Approximately 4 million people in the UK use ADSL with an extra 2 million using a cable connection, meaning 6 million people in the UK have an always-on internet connection.
The fact is that anything less than the speed supplied by a broadband cable has become inadequate for today’s internet users.
Providers
However it has emerged that broadband providers touting such products are not revealing the full story to their customers. The key will be for broadband providers to develop the services that broadband allows for, and to deliver them to as many households as possible. High-speed Internet services are growing in popularity because intense competition from broadband providers is continually driving the product exposure in the marketplace to new highs, and prices to new lows.
Connecting to the Internet for the first time in your home or office is as easy as securing a fixed telephone line (which you probably already have) and signing up to one of the dozens of Broadband Providers, like AOL and others.
Satellite
Bummer indeed, but you still have broadband Direct PC by satellite and it seems to make it through those clouds and so you can surf the NOAA website and get the latest results or watch video streams of the local TV station right. Broadband Internet by Satellite is about the coolest invention in the World and indeed it has helped the unconnected become connected even if they live in the middle of nowhere. Did you know you can get a special satellite antenna hooked up on your motor home or recreational vehicle that will enable you to get the Internet anywhere in North America.
Television
So they are bundling broadband with other products, such as home phone, digital television and mobile. The acronym is used to describe services which broadcast on-demand television programming to consumers, delivered via a broadband connection on normal telephone line to TV screens. Broadband television is a means of providing TV programs via the Internet.
Broadband Television is being hailed as the biggest change in the way we watch television since it was first invented.
