Wires are a major inconvenience though. Sure, at work I use a big pair of wired headphones and connect my laptop to a dock.
But when I am on the move every cable stinks. I have caught the headphones wire on doorknobs and bus ticket validators so many times that now I gladly suffer through the unreliable bluetooth to avoid that.
I can see how wires can sometimes be problematic and I don't disagree with you. You can easily avoid most issues by having the cable under some of your clothes though.
My point is I don't think people can have an extreme opinion on the issue and still be objective, like I have seen so much online lately. Sometimes wires are better, sometimes wireless is better.
I use heavily earphones. They usually last between 3 and 9 months because of the fucking wire. When I am working I cannot type comfortable because of the wire, it is in the middle. When I move I always pull the wire. If I am walking with my mobile in my pocket I also pull the wire from time to time. So they always broke in the connector because of the wire. Even with a lot of care they always break in the same place. So it is around 15€ every 6 months. You can buy them cheaper but the sound is crap. My Bluetooth headset was 30€ and have been working like charm for more than 3 years now. They have 8 hours of battery life and I need to charge them less than the smartphone. So I don't get the inconvenience of charging something than last more than an smartphone.
In fact, I bought them AFTER I had Bluetooth earphones, because of the inconvenience of having to recharge them.
I also got gigabit Ethernet in the apartment after using Wi-fi for some time.
In fact, I see the hate of wires as an irrational behaviour. They work better in practically all cases with only minor inconvenience.
I myself don't need to be walking or moving all the time either. If there's a chair, there are cables available.
