 The article discusses how FireChat, an app that allows users to chat with friends without needing the web or mobile signal, has paved the way for chatting with friends without internet. Developers at Open Garden have built a small device called Greenstone, which is designed to make off-the-grid networks stronger. The device acts like a beacon, helping messages move around the network even when there's no internet connection. This technology can be used in various scenarios such as natural disasters, rural areas, and protests where internet connectivity is limited.
