Why would this information be interesting to a forensics investigator?

The discussion board question posed is listed below, it is a two part question. Also your reference section doesn’t count towards word count.

Consider an investigation of a wireless device such as a laptop or a tablet.
Our text discusses mobile devices. Many mobile devices relay on 802.11 for transmitting data (try searching for “wifi offload” for more information); as such, a list of SSIDs to which a device has been connected is something an investigator may care about.
