The advancements in computer technology have been staggering over the last couple of decades years. The majority of the advances have been in the size of the products, in some instances reducing what would have previously taken up a warehouse to something the size of stamp. This has meant that computers are great deal lighter and more mobile and also means that more technology and electrical components can be fitted in without compromising on overall size.
An area of technology that is seen major developments in recent years is wireless functionality. This has been seen in such things as wireless Internet connectivity and also wireless mice and keyboards etc. However, most computers are still built using wires or multicore cables to connect the various components and this has its draw backs. Firstly wires are fiddly and get the way when trying to move or add computer components. They can also often become faulty and make it difficult to track down hardware problems.
There is however new technology currently being refined that will allow all the components in a computer that were previously connected via cable, to instead have the ability to transfer data wirelessly.To put this in real terms the processor will be able to communicate will all other parts of the machine without the need for internal wires, which also means their will be less connection ports on each item and less chance of dust or dirt getting into them. It will also mean that all the elements of computer needn’t necessity be all together and can instead be spread out over a room. This may be useful if you need to carry your hard drive around with you or want to easily add another component without taking the computer apart.
The technology is still in testing stages but will be included in a number of computer systems by 2012 along with the new beacon light technology for HD computer monitors.
