Wireless, Schmireless!What is all this hysteria and folderol about wireless?

I mean it seems you can't go anywhere these days without some cellular or mobile computing company touting the virtues of doing away with wires. If we would only eliminate those nasty strips of metal encased in rubber, such companies tell us, our lives would be a fabulous fantasy in which Catherine Zeta-Jones would be at our side appealingly praising our perspicacity (not that there's anything wrong with that).

In the tech community, the hype is growing to epidemic proportions. Wireless technology personal digital assistants (PDAs) with e-mail, computers on our wrists, hot-spots that let us connect to the Web while sipping trendy lattes is ready to explode, the pundits tell us. And it must be true, because they've been telling us that for at least 5 years now.
