Taking a car trip just isn’t the same as it used to be, it’s far better- especially for kids these days.  It used to take a few generations for the old folks to look back and say how good these darn kids have it these days.  With more and more neat toys and gadgets coming out every day to entertain and improve the lives of children, now that window has shrunk down to basically anyone over the age of twenty.  From roller skates that pop out of sneakers, to portable gaming systems that make the Gameboy look like a pocket calculator, kids really are having all the fun.  One of the biggest injustices, however, to the 20-and-up age bracket has to be the idea of putting a DVD player into the vehicle for those long, dull car rides.  When some of us were young the best things there were to do were to count license plates, or squabble with siblings.  Today, kids can get in an in-flight movie while lounging and snacking comfortably in the backseat.  That’s just plain unfair.  Those of us who were stuck crammed into the back with little more than the countryside for entertainment may still be pouting about it.  Revolutionizing the concept of the family vacation, there’s no doubt that in-vehicle DVD systems are here to stay, and likely to become increasingly standardized in new vehicles.

As if it wasn’t lucky enough to have the ability to watch movies and videos, and even hook up gaming systems on the go, the convenience of mobile movies is about to get even better.  The latest new toy comes with the advent of 4G wireless internet technology, the next generation in internet technology which will allow us to access high speed mobile broadband internet anytime, anywhere, including on-the-go.  While the implications of this are far reaching, as mobile entertainment goes, it means kids will not only be able to download movies, songs and videos to pass the time, but get online to play games, stay in touch with friends, or even, dare I say, do homework assignments.  When it comes to being trapped in a vehicle for more than a few hours, every family knows that the situation can sometimes be described as challenging or trying, but with all the conveniences of the internet that is used at home, brought to you by mobile WiMax, it’s hard to complain.

While the kiddies may find WiMax wireless internet great for entertainment, adults find it ideal for not only trip planning, but staying in touch with family or the office while on the go.  For those having a hard time making the balance between family time and office time, it’s an opportunity to get ahead while on the move.  With mobile broadband speeds it is possible to download and upload large files easily, making working a reality that doesn’t exist with current 3G technology devices.  Instead of waiting for the WiFi connection in the hotel’s business center, get that last report done on the way, or even take your computer to the pool.  With the convenience of a mobile air card or WiMax ready machine, the internet now exists everywhere.
