      Hi Kia-jade

      Good find from Harriet, eh? I had to Google it, too.

      The Economist article doesn’t go further back to when radio communications were considered ‘wireless’. Using a walkie-talkie isn’t the same as WiFi on your laptop, but they’re both aimed at communicating without wires.
