One day I think we will have a totally wireless desktop computer. No wires whatsoever. That would sell big and it would make moving the computer easy. Wireless keyboards and mouses have already hit the stores.

Wireless keyboard and mice have been out for ages now.. I'd like to get one of those.. I am sure that they will exist sometime in the near future (20 years)..

lol, your correct but what if you want to attatch a printer, that will have to be wireless to. In theory a wireless usb cable type thing, think of all the channels they will have to use so they dont interfere.

It's most probably possible with a WIFI Network. I'm sure printing is, and i wouldn't be surprised if other hardware was supported also.

Ok so there's absolutely no wires. You would have to integrate a magnetic energy retrieval system that is not harmful.

Go ahead, explain how to do that.

lol

You mean how to power the devices? Sure, they would need power cables, but how difficult is it to disconnect a few power cables.

kirby145 · 10-04-06, 01:55 AM

no, he said totally wireless.

Wireless power cables, they would be pretty cool, a wirless device that plugs into a socket and then a bluetooth power connection that goes to whats plugged into the power hole and sends it bluetooth, what if you interfere? Do you get electrectued.

OK Kirby, we would be really technical here and say no wires in the hardware either, but that would be to nit picky huh?

Okay. So it wouldn't be completely wireless. My bad. My point was... you can use a fair few less wires with a WIFI.
