Is it just me, or is this bottom bar really changing everytime I look at it?
>IMO wireless will always have a place. However, there's no reason other technologies couldn't advance as well. Maybe one day it will be as easy to wire a home with fiber as with electrical cable, and include taps at each wall outlet. Maybe we'll be able to buy splitters/"data" bars (as opposed to power bars) and we could all carry around tiny, cheap, spring-loaded spools of hair-thin fiber the way some people pack RJ11 or Cat5 cable around these days. If that were available today, I for one wouldn't have much use for wireless.
It's happening today. Maybe not 'hair thin', but a lot of new homes are getting fiber from the get go. Or prewired with CAT whatever. Or they do the cheapie and bring home the wireless from Walmart ;-) If I lived and breathed with a laptop in the house, wireless would have great appeal. I don't. I don't have a cell phone. Or one of those walkie yackie thingmees either. Got a satellite dish, though. "You know you're a redneck when..." and so on. I guess my wireless prejudice comes from a stint long ago in an EMC lab. You would be simply be amazed at what you can pick out of the air - even when extreme measures are taken to prevent it. I'm not paranoid, I know they are listening...
