Computers have been becoming more and more advanced every since they were first conceived. 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 rack and panel connectors 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 Kings Electronics to connect the various components and this has its draw backs. To start with, wires often get in the way and limit what you can connect when making additions to the motherboard. 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. 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 allow for different computer components to be in alternative locations. 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 LED buffer stop lights technology for HD computer monitors.
