Headline: Wires?! We don’t need no stinking wires!

Nutshell: In the future, more than just the internet will be wireless.

Vision:

As the abilities of wireless technology increase, and the bandwidth it can carry grows, I see wireless video signals carried in the not too distant future. Already mice and keyboards are wireless, thanks to RF technology, and some higher-end printers can be set up to work with a wireless computer network. I hope that we are not too far from wireless displays and perhaps televisions. Granted, power will still need a cable, but the ability to mount a monitor away from your computer would still be welcome for many users.
