A few weeks ago I wrote about wireless networks and the benefits of having different devices, such as stereos, computers, televisions, etc., connecting through the ether, rather than by wire. Now, it seems that it's about to happen. The Register reports that Linksys, a major manufacturer of wireless cards, is developing a new line of "Wireless Home" products.
It'll be nice to get rid of all those wires. Of course there are implications - will others be able to intercept the signals? Will a plethora of wireless networks in a crowded community - or even a single apartment building - conflict with each other? Do those waves affect our brains?
As Gilda Radner used to say, "There's always something!"
