[+] the wires would be easier to organize as well, by function, or colour or length, in pleasing patterns. |
|
| |
The downside, small as it is, is that you'd need a charging plate as a desk or drawer mat, to keep the transceivers operating. |
|
| |
There'd be a potential problem with conflicting
frequencies between different
transmitter/receiver pairs. |
|

What's needed is an audio system implementing
the "Oi Derek!" protocol. Basically, each wire is
fitted with a tiny speaker, a tiny microphone, and
is given a name (for instance, Derek). Then, when
a signal needs to be sent from one point to
another, the speaker shouts "Oi, Derek, zero for
you." The Derek wire will then handshake by
replying "Got it Alan, cheers." |
|
| |
The Oi Derek protocol can be extended, by means
of commands such as "Oi, Derek - John says he's
got a zero for you from Wendy" and "Cheers Alan,
tell John to tell Wendy I've got it.", etc. |

Personally, I prefer the inventor of the device
that
held and released the first atomic bomb, Zeppo
Marx. |

However, I contend that the Oi Derek protocol
offers
not only greater flexibility, but a more relaxed
attitude to data propagation. |

Incidentally, the modern dental drill was invented

I'd heard that story, and the part about Mornington Crescent was just fascinating. |

They could be RF paired at the factory like remote-
controlled outlets are today. |
|
| |
However, the bandwidth & power limits would make
the use case for these rather narrow. Actually, can
a specific use case be provided? |
|
| |
That question could be a default for any halfbaked idea. |
|
| |
That would just waste everyone's bandwidth. |
