What Should Wireless Be Called?
from the damn,-gonna-have-to-change-the-icon dept
Here’s a contest for what to change the category of wireless to. I think it’s a little silly, but there is a good point there. Objects shouldn’t necessarily be named by what they’re not, but by what they are. The example the writer uses is that cars were originally called “horseless carraiges” until people settled on automobiles. Of course, so far I don’t exactly see what the problem with the term “wireless” comes along.

In my day....
I remember operating a VCR that had a “wired” control instead of the “wireless” controls we use now… Why don’t we stick with the existing term of “remote”? Do you have “remote” access? I really like “remote” keyboards…
