Not sure how it got turned off, but it is.. 

Anyway, someone please tell me how to turn it back on. I am so tired of having to UB on this IPhone.

A lot of new laptops have a button on them that turns it on and off. You probably accidentally hit that button.

Look on the front, near where the latch to open the screen is, also look across the top of the keyboard under the screen.

If there is a wireless indicator that lights up it may also be the button, not just an indicator.

Also might be in "devices" labeled as a wireless "switch" or "adapter" if so, just activate it

I think the phone is easier anyway with tapatalk

It is usually one of these things:

1) a hardware switch as mentioned
2) The driver for you wireless card/chip may need to be updated in device manager
3) reactivating integrated wireless in one of two ways:

     A) In device manager as mentioned
     B) In your computer's BIOS Settings. This is pretty rare, but it does happen on occasion especially with IBM/Lenovo brand machines. This is a bit tricky to do and not recommended unless everything else fails.
