WiFissä

WiFissä is a Finnish word that combines "WiFi" and "sä" (Finnish for "soul" or "spirit"). It refers to the intangible sense of connection and belonging that people feel when they are connected to the internet, particularly through WiFi. This concept has gained popularity in Finland, where WiFi is widely available in public spaces, and the internet is an integral part of daily life.

WiFissä is often associated with the idea of being "always on" and the constant availability of information and communication. It can also refer to the sense of community and social interaction that is facilitated by online platforms and social media. However, WiFissä can also have a darker side, as it can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and disconnection from the physical world.

The term WiFissä was coined by Finnish writer and journalist Jukka Mallinen in a blog post in 2014. Since then, it has been used in various contexts, including academic research, media articles, and popular culture. The concept of WiFissä has also been discussed in the context of digital divide and the impact of the internet on society.
