This time I'm taking up Facebook's attempt to bring internet to the whole world, which of course is a bad idea, and I'll talk about that in the article below.

Mark Zuckerberg has been on a buying spree recently. He has been buying a lot of things and says that he wants to make a difference.
Well, I think that he just doesn't know what to do with the money that he has got.
Facebook recently acquired a drone company and when asked why did he do that he said that he wants to make internet available to the whole world.
And do you know what is his idea of "broadcasting" internet all over the world? He wants drones to fly in our sky all over the world and send wi-fi signals to the residents of Earth and says that the drones will be powered by Solar Energy.
My question to him is, "Do you own the sky, mister?"
He says that there are countries that are very poor that have the potential to do a lot and to learn a lot but aren't able to do it because of no internet.
Is he not aware that not every country is like the United States of America? Does he not know that these countries do not have the necessary devices to use the internet over wi-fi?
First of all, the people that he is targeting are the poor people. These people do not have high-end mobile phones and laptops to use internet over wi-fi . All his efforts to make wi-fi available to these people/places will go in vain.
Secondly, no one is going to use his internet which will be totally unsafe. Everybody knows that connecting to a public wi-fi network is very unsafe and with that fear in mind no one will use it in general that he wants.
People are aware of NSA and other agencies that have surfaced that collected data from social networking sites, emails, websites from every country that they possibly could. With every device connected to the same network all the files and data stored in the device will be very easy to access. If not NSA then it is a doorway for hackers to steal other people's information.
Apart from these things there is another topic that needs to be taken in consideration. Birds.
Yes, Birds. We have come across articles in the newspaper many times that tell that the radiations caused by mobile towers are harmful to birds. We have actually seen birds not flying by in the areas where there is a mobile tower. The same might apply to a wi-fi connection this strong.
Now, this drone will not be the general 65 mbps or 150 mbps wi-fi router that we have in our homes. Since it will deliver data continuously to millions of people it will be in Gigabytes, if not Terabytes, per second. This will totally impact the environment in a bad away. These mobile towers have affected the small birds that fly low, but these drones will affect the Eagles, Hawks, and other birds that fly high in the sky.
Please help spread this message by sharing this post to make the world realise what Mark is up to and stop him maybe.
