Why do people think we are "wireless"??
Merriam Webster's Dictionary has the meaning of "wireless" stating "having no wire or wires." Hmm. I am pretty sure that I would disagree (especially when I'm hunting for the right cord to plug in my phone!)...let's take a look shall we?
Blackberry
- Cable for plugging it into the wall to charge.
- Cable for plugging it into the car to charge.
- Cable for transferring info and documents to my computer.
- Cable for plugging it in and transferring info at the same time. (why is this a seperate cord?)
Camera
- Cable for plugging it in to charge.
- Cable for plugging it in to the TV to see the pictures.
- Cable for plugging it into the computer to download pictures.
Laptop
- Cable for plugging it into the wall to charge.
- Cable for plugging it into the printer.
- Cable for plugging it into the moniter.
- Cable for plugging in my external drive
To me, this sounds like the more technologically savvy you are, the more wires and cables you must keep in order! I like to use a plastic shoe organizer. You know, the ones that hang over a door? They are see through, perfect for all those cords to have their own little place and not get all tangled (here Russ, there's a little knot in these Christmas lights!)
So, the next time you hear someone say "oh, it's wireless" just know that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as wireless!!

Amen, sista! I have shoe boxes, labeled "computer cords" "TV/media cords" etc. Plus all the batteries to my "wireless" devices don't hold charges, so I have leave them plugged in all the time.
