Chattanooga, TN; Home of the Fastest Internet Connection-14

I had no idea that Chattanooga is home to America’s fastest Internet connection, probably because the Internet here on campus isn’t that great. But when you think about it, having America’s fastest Internet connection can be one of the coolest things for Chattanooga. Like the article mentioned, with this faster broadband we will be able to go into drug stores, pick up our prescriptions, and meet with a doctor through a video. Just like we’ve been discussing all year, technology is advancing and changing the world as we know it. Not only would we be able to transform the way we do things, such as a doctors visit or the traffic signals, but we will also be able to change the simple things like ordering a pizza online or shopping. With faster Internet, communication between emails or even publicizing events happening in Chattanooga could reach more people in a shorter amount of time. I didn’t realize how having America’s fastest Internet could be such a great thing for our city until I read this article. Although we are a small city, we are growing and I think this is one step into becoming an even better city than we already are. I am biased because I love Chattanooga, but I think we can do more to draw people and business in. This faster Internet could be a potential incentive to bring in more businesses into the area and help build up downtown. It also would help small business owners in the Art District area, as well as all around Chattanooga, to promote their products and show everyone why this is such a special city. I don’t know if I could say that this type of investment is warranted here but I think there are many perks to having the fastest Internet and I think we could use it to our advantage.
