The advancements in computer technology have been staggering over the last couple of decades years. The most obvious advances have been in reducing the size of different computer parts, sometimes by up to as much as 5000%. This has meant that computers are great deal lighter and more mobile and also means that more technology and Hellerman Tyton functions can be fitted in without compromising on overall size.
One area that has only really been adopted quite recently is wireless technology. 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 cable 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.
This may all be about to change however with the development of wireless computer components that allow the different elements of a computer to communicate with each other without the need for cables. For example the hard drive can communicate with the processor and the modem without lots of internal wires and can be self contained without having lots of input ports which are vulnerable to dust and moisture. 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 is very handy if you want to quickly connect an additional computer component without having to open the casing up, and also means you can transport different parts around with you.
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.
