Aren't We Living in the age of WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY???

Looking behind my monitor...

<Are those wires even funcioning?>

I couldn't help but think about the gap existing between the available technology and the reality... Just taking a glance at that picture, can you imagin which wire connects to what??? Wires around computers haven't been such a pain about 10 years ago... The computer itself was bulky enough to provide enough space among the wires as the space between where each wire connects to was sparsely(?) populated. And then, two things started to make the situation worse...

1. The size of computers got smaller and smaller - All the wires started to connect to a denser area.
2. Peripherals got cheaper and started to use USB - As peripherals got cheaper people started to own everything(this and that), and those devices used USB cables.

Now, in case of my Mac mini, the wires that connect to it forms a chaotic scene. I would like to keep the scene hidden, to make my Mac mini look more elegant, Minimalism and simplitiy are the words that go with a Mac. Not CHAOS !!! However, considering the number of devices I am using, that is impossible.

On top of this situation, there is another problem with using USB devices. I have 4 USB ports. and obviously I'm using more than 4 USB devices. So I bought a USB hub. However, some of my devices won't work or stop working if all the ports are fully occupied. My only guess is that the power supply in the Mac mini isn't capable of providing enough power through the USB ports. Therefore, I no longer use the USB hub, but switch around devices that connect to the ports as necessary. I really need an extra power supply for my USB hub. But I'm having trouble finding the right power supply for the USB hub other than a universal power supply. Since universal power supplies are kind of bulky and the connecting parts may become lose, I tend to hate it. Anyway, because I'm frequently switching between devices to connect to the USB ports, some of the wires which aren't being used are making the scene look more messy. I can't just removed them because at some point I'll be using them...

So I have become to hate wires so much !!!

Now, let me tell you about my frustration about the gap between the technologies that exist today and reality I'm feeling. As I mentioned from the title... I am wondering...

Aren't we livnig in the age of Wireless Technology???

Of course we have Bluetooth, and we have several more solutions(I'm sure about it)... Think about it... We are living in the wireless age... Today we are talking about transferring electricity without wires... Wireless technology for communication has been around for several decades and we aren't using them for basically simple and relatively trivial applications.

Here is what I am suggesting... I'm not looking for wireless power cables(this sounds weird, but you know what I mean)... All I want is peripherals capable of communicating via Bluetooth technology. Considering that most of the modern computers manufatured today are equipped with Bluetooth a receiver, a device that is capable of communicating via Bluetooth will be a great hit. Maybe a general Bluetooth unit that can be connected to a USB device to handle USB cable functionality may be great too. More specifically, a Bluetooth unit that connects to a Bluetooth receiver and automatically creates a connection to a virtual USB port... Isn't that possible?

In spite of the fact that I'm working with computers, I'm a software kind of guy and maybe I am lacking some understanding of the Bluetooth technology. However, it doesn't seem impossible, does it?

Let me check again...

Are we not living in the age of wireless technology???
