 | | Wireless computing is computing without wires and phone lines by using a variety of devices such as laptop and notebook computers, tablets, personal digital assistants (PDAs), e-mail-only devices, handheld computers, and "wearable" technology. |
 | | Wireless technology's major benefit to users is the immediate access it offers to computing resources such as their office, other businesses, or the Internet; in this way, users are given a higher degree of flexibility in work and entertainment choices. |
 | | As a method of data transport, wireless technology is like wired technologies in that it comprises hardware devices, a method of transmission, and connections that transform data from the human-input type to a machine-transferable format, and then back again. |
