When I was young we would listen to the wireless

We never used the word radio back then

Our wireless was box full of tubes that took a while to warm up

The big dial would crackle as you searched for a station

Posh voices delivered the BBC news

Sing Something Simple played golden oldie tunes every Sunday

Our wireless was the focal point of our home

Today we live in a totally different wireless world

Satellites give us GPS for perfect navigation

Cellular phones connect us to everything from anywhere

Bluetooth puts beautiful clear music in our ears

Wifi connects us to all the electronic wizardry in our homes

Alarm systems no longer have miles of wires

Check out your home wireless security camera far from home

Speakers stream music from your phone wirelessly

You can turn on the lights with a wireless switch

Turn up the heat on the HVAC without touching the thermostat

Pre-heat your oven on your way home from work

Do all your shopping wirelessly

Charge your phone on a wireless charging pad

Cut the cable and stream your TV channels wirelessly

Throw away that key and open your front door with your smart phone

Wires in our lives have been replaced by electromagnetic radiation in the air

It like living inside a huge microwave oven

We are slowly cooking ourselves wirelessly
