In today’s day and age, we are always worried about how connected we are. We are fixated on if we have email access, if we can get online or if we have access to news, sports scores or the availability to update our Facebook status. We have the internet on our phones, in our homes, our offices, even on airplanes, so why shouldn’t we have internet capability in our cars?

The ability to have your car “wired” just might be the next big thing. PC Magazine recently reported that LTE recently unveiled hardware that could be installed in a variety of cars to allow them internet capability. Users of this particular technology would be able to go online, access You Tube, download music, as well as order on-demand videos for long car rides with kids or just a trip to the grocery store. Information would be delivered via a streaming 4G connection and would allow users to choose their service provider much the same way they currently choose who handles their wireless or cellular service.

This hardware hasn’t been rolled out just yet, it is currently in the concept stages, but word has it that Verizon is planning on making this 2010’s must have item. After all, we all knew it was just a matter of time until someone thought up a way to make all of our cars on-the-go wireless hotspots.
