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Wires in our lives have been replaced by electromagnetic radiation in the air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