wireless is one of the greatest innovations of all time. starting with the radio, broadcasting audio all over the world, to the infrared remote controls, to mobile phones, bluetooth, and wireless networking. wireless has many postive attributes, like freedom of movement, no wires to plug and tangle, physical space, and increasing the number of resources able to use an internet access point. there are zero negative attributes, if you ignore set-up, security, cost, as well as the potential for anything to happen with all that data being zipped around through the air.

I love wireless. i can have one point in my house to allow any number of computers or mobile devices to use my broadband connection. of course, it is not as easy as plugging in a cable and being set to go, but I believe that the setup time is worth the wait. i can move from room to room to show lorie or whoever what I am looking at online. I can even go outside of the house and surf the web on the lawn if I so desire. (btw - the internet and the web are not synonymous - the internet is the physical manifistation of all of the computers and servers and what not, the web is the actual content, so you can say that you use the internet to access the web, and you use you computer to interface with the internet - though technically your computer actually becomes part of the internet)

now that I have broken the fourth wall of my little 6th grade essay I was trying to write, I will no longer go back (as shakespeare did with taming of the shrew, but the other way)

I just set up the tivo with wireless, and I was able to remove, or lessen rather, the rats nest of wires in the media closet. if only one did not need so many wires to connect the tv to the tivo and the dvd player and the stereo and the game systems. ah, how wonderful life would be.

of course, if that's all you need to make life wonderful, then I am truly envious of you, I guess you could say that in my case it would be on less thing I could worry about... like when forrest bought into apple and then never had to worry about money ever again. like he said, "One less thing!" what a blessed and tragic life that man leads...

he is, obviously, fiction, so I guess that's all I have to say about that.

now, we just have to get a phone table that can possibly fit the printer/fax/scanner next to the piano, and we'll be all set...

I just have to wait for my new laptop from work before I check lorie's previous searches from earlier this week.

I was up all night moving stuff from my work computer to my pc. whilst cleaning out my pc. I call it darksteeltower, because it's a big charcoal colored server. 400gb of storage. I wanted to get to a terabyte, but that would mean I would have to get ride of my older hard drives and drop several 250 gb drives in their place. I don't have enough space to add anymore, and even if I did, the power source wouldn't be able to handle it, not to mention I'm out of available plugs inside the box.

now if the could only make the inside of computers completely wireless and easily customizable (without that last caveat, I would have been at a loss, considering there are almost no wires in laptops) then that would be cool.

but it certainly wouldn't make life all that greater. just fairer.
