Kantor saya punya wireless PC yang dibeli di Singapura
(di Jakarta mungkin sudah ada, saya tidak tahu). Enak
memang, praktis dan kalau Anda keluar kota tinggal
memberitahu business center di hotel untuk minta
sambungan ke service provider maka Anda siap untuk
berinternet ria dari kamar. Di bawah, saya fwd
tulisan di BBC 'A wireless world on the horizon.'
Sudah sebulan saya berada kembali di Jakarta.
Sementara ini saya masih belum punya PC sendiri, baru
lihat-lihat mana computer yang dalam beberapa tahun
mendatang tidak ketinggalan jaman. Pilihan saya jatuh
pada PC rakitan dalam negeri karena harganya
terjangkau di kantong pensiunan. Kalau Anda masih
melihat posting dari saya, itu saya bikin di warnet
(cyber cafe).
Tiap hari saya berkunjung ke warnet, semuanya ada
dikawasan Jakarta Selatan atau dirumah seorang kawan
yang berbaik hati menyediakan PC-nya untuk saya pakai
kapan saja. Terkadang saya berinternet ria di warnet
di kawasan Tebet Barat, atau di Pasar Raya Blok M,
atau KFC Kemang, dan cerita ini saya buat di warnet
Cipete. Ternyata pengunjung warnet berbagai kalangan,
umumnya muda-mudi malahan banyak anak-anak, ada juga
orang asing (expats).
Anak-anak usia SD ada juga yang main e-mail, tapi
kebanyakan main game. Kenichi Ohmae (2000) menyebut
mereka 'nintendo kids'. Berlainan dengan kakak mereka
yang adalah generasi MTV, mereka yang sudah terbiasa
memainkan role-playing games setelah dewasa akan
mencoba segala kemungkinan, fleksibel dan lebih
kreatif. Melihat antusiasme anak-anak itu didepan
layar monitor, anak-anak Jakarta yang saya lihat cocok
dengan penilaian Kenichi Ohmae.

A wireless world on the horizon
By Ian Hardy
BBC Click Online North America technology
correspondent
With more and more technology nudging its way into our
homes, more and more data is being transmitted.
This means we have the attendant mass of wires to work
our way through: printers, PDAs, iPods, speakers,
scanners, compact flash card readers, digital cameras,
firewire hard drives, video recorders... the list
seems to go on and on.
But not for too long, especially in home
entertainment.
Manufacturers are hoping to make 2005 the year of the
"simple set-up".
The Philips Wireless Music Centre burns CDs to a
built-in hard drive, automatically names the MP3
files, and then distributes the audio to up to five
satellite players via 802.11g, with no PC necessary.
This is the solution we've been waiting for
Anthony Fonzo, Philips
Philips' Anthony Fonzo says a large majority of the
population has, on average, between 250 and 500 CDs.
But few are really PC-focused: "We're not my
13-year-old nephew, right?"
"So this is the solution we've been waiting for, to
really allow us to enjoy that investment that we've
made in music and make that music become a part of our
lives."
Mesh network
Sonos also offers a set-up for playing individual or
identical songs in different rooms.
Their Zoneplayers can all be controlled with a
wireless remote, but it uses a mesh network instead of
wi-fi home set up, so the signal can go further, to a
total of 32 wireless players if desired.
Thomas Cullen, of Sonos says: "The reason a mesh
network is interesting is that means that each player
throws off a big beacon and as you spread the players
around the house all those beacons together fall under
the coverage area of the controller.
"So you could stand out in the garden, where you might
have a couple of rock speakers, and listen to music
through them and turn off music in the front porch."
'Whenever, wherever'
Slingmedia's Slingbox claims to be able to distribute
video from your home to your laptop, PDA or mobile
phone anywhere in the world or the room next door.
The subscription-free box encodes video and uses a
proprietary delivery system that makers say is
superior to the usual streaming video experience.
Jeremy Toeman, of Slingmedia, says: "You hook up
whatever type of television source - cable, satellite,
antenna - straight into the back of the Slingbox
through standard RCA connections.
"You also hook it up to your high-speed internet
connection, which can be DSL or cable modem, really
any kind.
"Once those two connections are made you install a
little piece of software on your computer and you're
watching TV whenever you want, wherever you want."
For most of us, it is our computer peripherals that
are causing the most cable chaos.
There are a billion and a half USB devices in use
today, with the number expected to quadruple by the
end of 2006.
But there will not be four times as many wires, thanks
to Wireless USB.
Jeff Ravencraft, of Wireless USB, says: "The spec will
initially come out at 480 megabits per second at two
to three metres, and 110 megabits per second at 10
metres.
"So at close range there's a very, very high data
rate. You'll be able to move large audio files, large
HDTV streams."
Limitations
Bluetooth, most often used in a single-ear telephone
device, has now gone stereo.
I tried headphones that were surprisingly clear even
several metres from the audio source.
But there are still limitations, as Clement Wen, of
Bluetake, explains.
"Right now one headset can only pair with one
tranceiver but once the bandwidth of Bluetooth gets
bigger we can do one to two, or one to three, at the
same time."
Bluetooth is creeping into more and more products. PDA
keyboards are an obvious use.
Another use is a set of alarms. Put one alarm inside
your wallet, the other in a pocket, and if anyone
tries to steal your credit cards and cash they would
only get three feet away before the alarm goes off.
And for a third use: how about a full size game
controller to play mobile phone games?
