Roll on wirelessness!
March 21st 2008 06:58
One of the irritations of using computers and all the things that accompany them, such as printers and speakers and other peripherals, is that you have umpteen plugs and wires floating around the floor.
I remember when I lasted shifted the shop I used to run (the Christian bookshop where I’d been manager for some 15 years) my son and another geek did all the sorting out of the computers in the new building. I was pleased to find that they’d well and truly tidied up all the wiring, taping it together and making sure it ran along the back of benches and counters and was well out of the way.
I wait with anticipation for the day everything sits on the desk wirelessly. It’s around the corner, I know, so it’s possible I’ll get a chance to used it before I become too old to tap on the keys anymore. (By which time, of course, we may well all ‘type’ by using our voices.)
I did a post on another one of my blogs recently about HDMI. The great advantage of HDMI, for those who are still waiting for wirelessness, is that it doesn’t just carry one signal at a time. It can do digital audio, digital video and have plenty of room for bandwidth as well.
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface, as probably everyone else in the world except me already knew. You did? Thought so.
