Wires: Wires connecting phones to walls? Wires connecting computers, TVs, stereos, and other electronics to each other? Wires connecting computers to the Internet? To kids born in 2011, that will make as much sense as an electric car trailing an extension cord.

I get the point, but I think it's going to be quite some time before everything goes wireless (like components in stereo systems, cable boxes, etc.)

Commercials on TV: They're terrifically expensive, easily avoided with DVRs, and inefficiently target mass audiences. Unless somebody comes up with a way to force you to watch them -- as with video on the Internet -- who's going to pay for them?

Wasn't someone trying to sue TiVo for this? Saying that they had the right to have viewers see their commercials and they were trying to prevent TiVo from allowing users to skip commercials or something like that?

Commercial music radio: Smartphones with music-streaming programs like Pandora are a better solution that doesn't include ads screaming between every song.

Yeah, okay. Then get rid of the ads on Pandora.
