There comes a point...

When SBC Park opens Thursday for the first of three home exhibition games leading up to the regular season, 121 wireless access points will provide high-speed Internet access in all concourses and seating areas.

The ballpark, known until this year as Pacific Bell Park, will become one of the world's largest public Wi-Fi “hot spots” for people with laptops and handheld computers.

So, besides the intrusion of cell phones and PDAs (which meant something totally different when I was growing up) into every aspect of life, people now need to be connected at the ball game?

Sheeessshhhh!
