Semi-related, it always bothered me that we use the term "wireless" for something that still has wires (just not between the endpoints). Though I don't object, or have a better alternative, and I get the logic of calling it wireless.

The better alternative is cordless, no? At least some products do use that (e.g. cordless mouse). Of course, wireless is now so widely used it might not make sense to fight it :)

"Radio" would be a proper replacement for "wireless".

Funnily enough older people in England still call the radio ‘the wireless’!

And my grandad used to say exactly the same thing about wireless radios - 'why do they call it the wireless when it's full of wires!'
