WIRED

 What struck me recently was a thought about how desk top computers at home and in the office were once controlled by a huge jumble of wires.  If you had a computer with display screen, key board, mouse, speakers, printer, modem, and camera you had it all - - - and you had a lot of wires.  So many wires that there was no where to hide them.   All had to be connected to each other and finally to an electrical outlet. This was a real mess at times.  

Now comes Bluetooth.  Now comes WiFi.  Now comes laptops.  Where have all the wires gone.  Most have gone to graveyards, every one.  I don't miss them.  It's all just a bad memory - except for those of us who still love the power of the desktop.  

Some day, I suspect, that even our everyday electricity will come to us, to our homes and businesses, without wires.  When that time comes, you can visit my grave and remind me that I predicted it.  I actually think it's not all that for off - but too far off for me.
