unable to physically interact with one another when necessary. For instance, long-distance weddings.

communicate.Within schools and colleges, Clearwire can be used to

connect students and professors for online classes. This would improve the quality of an online class and give more people the opportunity to complete a degree.

In the future, Clearwire may possibly be used to connect people without having to leave work or home to complete tasks at hand. School, work, shopping, everything could be done this way.

Collaboratively this technology can really bring people together as a whole.

Clearwire because they could complete interviews, deadlines, and construct meetings from anywhere.
