“Can’t find your children? Try turning off the wifi. They appear suddenly”

“Can’t find your children? Try turning off the wifi. They appear suddenly” is a jocular one-line saying about wifi that has been printed on many images. The saying was posted on Twitter by boredteacher‏ on June 18, 2014.

Wikipedia: Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi or WiFi is a technology for wireless local area networking with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, which restricts the use of the term Wi-Fi Certified to products that successfully complete interoperability certification testing.
