Taranaki Daily News computer technician Mike Elliston has found 400 wireless networks operating in an area from New Plymouth's CBD to Merrilands.

More than half were vulnerable to attack.

To find these networks a simple process known as "war-driving" was used.

Hey Matt, 2002 called to say you're a little behind the times.

There's something going on in Australia and New Zealand where they are just rediscovering this.

Waiting for them to discover fire next

Unfortunately, some residents haven't learned to control this new technology, resulting in scorched fingers, burnt toes, and one case, a hut burned to the ground.

In a startling investigation, Taranaki Daily News reporters found 400 homemade fires operating in an area from New Plymouth's CBD to Merrilands.

To find these fires a simple process known as "looking for smoke" was used.

New Plymouth resident Behind D. Times said when interviewed: "Once we control this technology,we should be able to cook our food all the time. Next, through advances with both the fire and wet blankets, we hope that not only can we cook with the fire, but also employ the smoke for long range communications. It should be much better than those damned drums that keep me up all night."
