It's not here just yet, but Wireless USB devices are on the way and they'll likely do wonders for cleaning that jumble of cables writhing around behind (or even on top of) your desk. For a primer on what the technology entails, check out this concise article at Auphan Online.
"Are you tired of dealing with dozens of cables connecting to your computer? Nowadays you need a cable for everything you want to connect to your PC. Your external hard-drive, camera, printer, scanners, flash drives all require a cable. Well your troubles are over with the introduction of Wireless USB."
Marco Chiappetta
Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
