Wireless Future
Wireless is a technology that’s cheap, easy and useful right now, and yet it’s a technology that’s still very young. Here’s a quick look at what the future could hold for wireless.

Wireless networks will always win over wired ones, in the end, simply because it is cheaper for signals to travel through the free air than it is to install and maintain wires.

When radio was invented, this stopped almost overnight — why bother going to all that expense when it’s free over the air?
It’s the same way with computer networking. Imagine you have a choice between a wired Internet connection and a wireless one. Why would you choose the wired one? Because it’s cheaper?
