Yes you will need one, but there are also motherboards that have on board wireless adapters already on them. Or if you don't want to pay for it then you can just use the Ethernet cable.

Yes you will need one,

that's the most wrong statement i've read all day.

 

i'd prefer to put it like this:

 

in an ideal world you should never need wireless internet on a desktop, the only case where you should get a wifi card of sorts is when putting in a cable is simply so impractical it warrants the downsides of wifi.

 

if you plan on using wifi -- then yes, you'll need one. if you have the possibility of getting an ethernet cable to your desktop -- dont bother.

your statement remains wrong, because your statement starts from a default "yes you need wifi"

 

while the default should be ethernet, with wifi as a "failover if no other choice"

I gave my opinion therefore I am both right and wrong. Since you're on the wrong side of course it is wrong to you, because you don't "agree". The guy asked a question and I gave an opinion regardless if he agreed with it or not. I am not trying to state a fact that you do need one, if you don't want internet that is your choosing.
