3G or 4G is there a difference?

Lot's of companies claim to have fast 4G speeds, but is 4G faster than 3G or is it all a bluff?.

To begin with the "g" stands for generation. Meaning that 4G is a fourth generation phone while 3G is just a 3rd generation device. This does not mean that the phone can surf faster but that the phone is a newer generation model. The "g" signifies newer technology.

WiFi vs 3G

Why would you use your smartphone when you travel? Seriously you can get free Wi-Fi virtually anywhere, right?

Sure, Wi-Fi is easy to find in the USA. You can get it anywhere you shop, most places that you stay, and even by searching for open Wi-Fi networks in residential areas. Despite the fact that most of people know that Wi-Fi is not truly enough for all over use, people still plan for it when they travel.

When using Wi-Fi only, you are not available when people need you. There is a myriad of VOIP options when trying to call back home over Wi-Fi but none of them are anywhere close to good. The majority of them still have issues with calls cutting out, quality being unsatisfactory, and electronic sounds when speaking.

5 TV Shows to Watch to Prepare Yourself for American Culture


1)      Friends is a classic TV show about the typical friendship structure amongst most Americans. Phoebe is your classic hippy, peace loving weirdo and is one of the funniest TV characters on TV. Ross is the usual nerdy guy who is desperately in love with the pretty girl. Joey is the typical jock who did not do well in school, and is an unemployed actor. Rachel is the pretty girl who had to start over after a broken engagement, and relies on her looks to move up in the world. Chandler has an extremely sarcastic sense of humor, but deep down is a very sensitive guy. And Monica used to be overweight in high school, and is an attractive up and coming chef. This is one of the great things about America that you can have 6 completely different people become best friends for a lifetime.
