> we're still waiting on the ethernet port to go away but give it time

You have it precisely backwards.

Far from going away, everything became Ethernet.

Take a look at the modern interconnection standards: HDMI, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt, etc. They are all packetized transfer across an impedance controlled double pair of wires.




I think parent was probably implying wireless would take over.

I don't agree however, call me a luddite but I'm partial to the simplicity and speed of wires. Not for my phone of course, but for my main desktop PC, I'm happy it's not wireless.
