I want all my devices to be as dumb as wires.

Wired technology just works, out-of-the-box, no setup, no maintenance, no nothing .. just make sure the plug fit in both ends, and done!

Wireless technology should work similar, but via the air, like an invisible wire .. not as a open gate to the internet!

..and please let's not add multi-purpose CPU just for the sake of marketing!
