In my days of being a teenager. I used to buy wiring, connectors and stuff like that to help me connect to the Internet. Purchasing a long wire 20m long and connect it from one part of the house to the other end and set it up. It was hard work but worth it.
Then you had these problems in the household, like someone would hijack your phone line and I've even had a case where I had an annoying uncle staying over my place and wouldn't see my hard work in setting up a phone line to the internet and showed me no respect even when he should of knew.
There would be time where I would lash out. 'Get off the F***ing phone if you can't get set your phone line' or 'what the f**k is he doing?'
It's nice to know that the telephone companies want to make their service cheaper and provide and connect all that equipment up as well as providing a telephone service aswell, as it sorts that problem out. I just miss that hard work in getting that wiring in the house hold and setting it up myself. Now that's gone. No more plugging wires into phone sockets and no more buying wires of that sort. It's going to slowly move onto televisions and mobiles. It doesn't feel like the hard work thinking about it as someone else is going to do it. (maybe the robots in the future)
However networking between electronics is still important and it just means that I have to do everything I can find to a better hobby in terms of technology networking. It's a good idea to have. There would be times where I would use my Ethernet from my laptop and connect it to another computer in the house, both running in Vista and transfer files from one computer to another.
A matter of fact, you'll be surprised how many businesses cash-in over the networking part in the home or work place after those technicians set it up, with Microsoft being the biggest example, That's how Microsoft built their company during the 90s and with what they did, people went out of their way to go against Microsoft to tell them that they were evil and someone like Bill Gates became a millionaire.
I mean I can find out so much more stories about this and it goes to show that they've already tapped into what an Ethernet can do.
