Are you hooked on wireless technology ?

    I agree with you; in fact, I prefer most things low-tech. Like my famous neighbour Buba says: the problem with unbreakable things is nobody knows how to fix them! 

    Good to see you again, Franc.

    Any time I can get rid of a wire, cable, or electrical cord, I will do it. I know that sometimes there is a trade-off,  but I think it's worth it.

    I still use a wired computer and telephone. My wireless phone is turned off 95% of the time.

    There is no WIFI in my house or car. That I can control.   All things related to computing and television are wired.

    The only wireless transmitter / receivers in my home are my portable telephone which is not linked to the Internet, portable radios, central-heating thermostat and front door bell. (No television, "smart"-'speaker/microphone, etc.)

    Everything else is wired, including my computer ancillaries.

    Mr car has a wireless key and the reversing-camera. I fitted the latter, and its camera transmits the signal wirelessly but still needs a wired 12V supply.
