Enough With the Cords Already!

Share

This past week Greg Swann spoke of cleaning off his desk; (the mountains of paper) I can only imagine what that pile looked wiring1.jpglike. 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!
