We live in an age of technology and as such we are always looking for ways to make life easier or ways to make things look better. In the home or office (or even the home office) making things look improved involves getting rid of clutter. This is where the wireless desktop comes into play. No wires means less clutter and because when using Bluetooth wireless devices line of sight is not needed, you can use your desk space to its optimum with no worries.
There is more to the wireless desktop than you might think as well. You will all be aware that you can get a wireless keyboard and mouse. But wireless technology and Bluetooth in specific stretches much further than that. Your mobile phone if a current 1 will probably have Bluetooth technology built into it. This means that you can easily connect it to your PC. Companies such as Logitech offer software that really gets your mobile phone and your Computer working together. Synchronization is merely 1 aspect of this, but how about being capable to type an SMS text message on your keyboard and send it without having to touch your phone. This is all possible with the power of Bluetooth. Communication with your mobile phone is not the only method of contact with Bluetooth. You can also get Bluetooth headsets that work with Microsoft Messenger so you can add an easy chat functionality to your desktop. As untried products come on the market Bluetooth becomes more and more popular. Peripheral devices such as Printers and Scanners can today be found.
The Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
This is the 1st device that you will probably purchase for your wireless desktop. This is the common starting point and probably the most effective. The keyboard and mouse wires can’t be hidden away from sight as they have to be straight in front of you. plus limiting the mouse wire can mean limiting the mouse movement as well. So A wireless keyboard and mouse will give you a improved looking desktop as well as freedom to move your keyboard where you desire it. You can have it on your lap or anywhere else in range. Having a wireless mouse will also help in gaming. Most wireless mice are merely as responsive as corded ones and your wire wont snag at that vital moment when on the web gaming.
Wireless Printers
While printers are not being produced as wireless as yet. The idea is very much being worked on. Currently what you can by for your USB connected printers is a 2 small connecters that plug into your printer and USB port which connect together like a wireless network. Its nearly a wireless USB connection if you like. I doubt that is how it will be described though. The rewards of the wireless printer as well as the lack of wires behind your Computer is the range can be increased as well as you being capable to place your printer in a place where a USB cable would be unsuitable to travel. A 2nd advantage would be that connecting your printer to a wireless network for sharing will be much easier.
Wireless Networking
I think the biggest advantage of wireless technology has to be Wireless Networking. While Bluetooth technology is does not have the range in which to be affective at networking personal together. RF technology is still used however and is very easy to setup. For a easy network (peer to peer) on 2 personal all you require is 2 wireless networking cards setup to the same channel. More complex networks can also be setup using a server and workstations. Anything you can do with a wired network you can do with wireless technology.
While we keep saying that the main advantage of wireless technology is that you do not have wires lying around everywhere, this is more true than ever when we are speaking about wireless networking. When your personal are in all probability to be located in different room, the final thing you desire is for wires to be laid around your home or office being an eyesore. Plus ought you wish to move your personal at anytime, you do not have to re-route the wires connecting your network together.
Security on Wireless networks is set by adding a name for your network which all personal on that network must be assigned to connect to, plus then you can add a password to keep unwanted intruders out from your files. Software firewalls are also suggested on wireless connections (as well as wired) merely for added security against unwanted virus’ or Adware/Spyware.
Wireless Headphones / Microphone
Wireless headphones are readily available from numerous manufacturers. These are really 1 of the most practical uses of wireless technology behind the networking. Wireless headphones grant you to freely listen to your music, game or whatever noise your Computer is making anywhere in your room without the restriction of wires. Even if your wires are long enough they will still be a tiny hazardous stretched across the room. And we all know you like to dance around your room listening to your favourite tracks. A set of wireless headphones could save you a few quid on broken items that your headphone wires have snagged on and brought crashing down to the floor 
.
Wireless Speakers
Wireless speakers are poking out of the woodwork and those of you that have a 5.1 or above sound system will merely how numerous wires are included in that setup. Not only do you have connection to the personal but all speaker is connected to the sub / power box and and you also have the volume control to deal with. At time of writing this the US seem to have a decent supply of wireless speakers where as only a few can be found in the UK. I am very sure that wireless speakers will become a lot more common in the UK over the next couple of months. Wireless speakers will remove loads of wires from the back of your computer. Using a 5.1 wireless system will grant you to place your speakers in the perfect stance without any restrictions or unsightly wires running along your walls or floor.
