Enough With the Cords Already!
This past week Greg Swann spoke of cleaning off his desk; (the mountains of paper) I can only imagine what that pile looked 
like. What bothers me more is what is going on “under” the desk, or even beside and behind! Namely the nearly 1/2 mile of cords and cables that drape the sides and and floors of my business and home offices. It’s absolutely insane!
Here is the short list:
- Display Cable
- Display Power
- Tower Power
- 4 Printers’ Cables
- 4 Printer Power cables
- Wireless Hub Power cable (for the wireless mouse and wireless keyboard)
- Sound/Woofer Cable
- Sound Power
- Speaker Cables
- Camera USB
- Phone USB
- Video Camera USB
- Video Cable Power Cable
- Router Power Cables
- Router Cables
- Television Cable
- Cable Modem Power
- Cable Modem Cable
- Fax Power Cable
- VOIP Phone Cords
- Landline Phone Power
- Landline Phone Cords
Chances are I missed a few cables, but this gives you the idea; the insanity is growing! Look- I know it’s the price of technology, but the price is too high. Enough already! Someone needs to come up with a solution and quickly before I’m completely burried in cable!
I’m not the first to blog about this and certainly not the last- but I just felt like saying something about it!
Start spreading the news...

Here’s a happy thought: Seven workstations plus all the hardware to support them. Six dogs. Nine cats. We have become experts at shielding cables.
ha! A cable is not a chew toy; and god forbid someone drools on the rats nest.
HA HA!
Neener- I’ve only got a laptop cord. I’m down to one. I’m special.
Maybe we could duct tape al your cords- they say duct tape fixes everything…
(btw, that neener is for YOUR neener you neenered to me on at PhoenixRealEstateGuy.com)
Ah! That tangled spaghetti behind and on top of our desks…
I dream of a day Unplugged and the future may be closer than we imagine. WiTricity, in it infancy, may provide a solution:
