We all used to wire everything,

And then we invented these funky mobile phones
and tablets and some of us got real radical and
did that with our laptops too.

In fact few have a desktop computer anymore.

nothing wrong with wire.

Bit of a nuisance with your mobile phone tho.

An old / spare router modem is much more useful, wired to a the main
router and usualy free.

Part of the problem would be having to have it wired, as that would
mostly negate it's usefulness.
