or using wikipedia for misinformation . I think you should really learn a hell of a lot more about the product before judging, then just giving it some nay-sayers negative feedback without even seeing it in action.

Just my 2¢

or maybe a few ignorant people blasting other peoples post without saying what was wrong with their post...

What did you take offense to in my post?

A: me not wanting wireless HDs and Displays
or
B: The harmful effects of radio waves?


if you choose A: It's my opinion.. it's not a "gay" response... There are certain things that I don't care if the loose temporary connection due to radio interference. If my mouse glitches too bad... If my HD or CD glitches I loose data and possibly damage the drive.

If you choose B: I would suggest YOU actually researching radio waves and what they can do to a body instead of telling others to.

It would be really cool if they could up the level of juice a bit and put it along roadways and such.  Might make electric cars viable...

You're right that it's your choice to use those technologies, but you're wrong about their implementation. Wireless HDs are practically already around (like the AppleTV for example). Wireless USB is already available, and there are companies working on wireless displays. These things are literally no more than a year or 2 away from the mainstream.

Any problem you think you can think of probably already has a solution.

But to answer the OP ... no I wouldn't
