Remote work is at an all time high; however, a bad WiFi connection can stop the most tech savvy of us right in our tracks. Is the problem with the service provider, is it the router, is my computer's WiFi adapter bad? We all have had those moments in time where we are visiting family only to find out that their internet connection isn't as fast and/or stable as is needed to get your job done. Sometimes the local coffee shop can bail you out; however, this isn't always a panacea.
Neighbors have been borrowing sugar for as long as I can remember. Perhaps it's time to upgrade our thinking and start sharing WiFi instead. Besides, sugar is overrated.
Why not sit on your neighbors front or back porch, with their permission and share their WiFi bandwidth?
That's the gist of Swimply, an Airbnb-style service for swimming pools founded in the summer of 2018. After hearing about it, I had to schedule a swim. Flash forward to a Sunday afternoon in July, and me carefully stepping into a stranger's shallow pool shaded by tall pecan trees. An oversized, rainbow-maned unicorn floatie awaited me.
