The New Age of Wireless

It’s amazing to me just how advanced wireless hardware has become in the last decade. It wasn’t long ago that we were filling our powerstrips with three pronged plugs that maxed out circuit breakers just to play solitaire. Now all you need is 2 plugs. One for your desktop and one for the monitor. None are needed if you have a laptop! Batteries have helped spring this revolution along, with smaller more powerful components that can run longer than the age old AA and AAA we grew up with. Now all you need is a usb cable and your batteries are charged right up (if you are using a smartphone.) Who could forget the wireless internet! This has propelled our society from a mess of 25 ft tangled wire running from the phone jack in the kitchen to the computer across the house, to the small box next to the phone that emitts a wireless network that extends throughout the house. Really we have greatly advanced how we use technology, and who knows where the next wave of convenient technology will take us. I am glad the wireless generation seems to be here to stay.
