How about "Anyone who makes the argument today that any single technology is
appropriate for everyone is stupid!"???
Wireless is cool, and has many applications, but not everybody needs it.
There are many situations where it would be impractical or simply
inappropriate.
I know it is all in good fun, but I am not sure that it benefits anybody to
have NPA members practice justifying claims that are simply ludicrous. Why
not investigate the top 5 most unexpected wireless success scenarios, or
something like that, if you simply want to get people excited about learning
new technologies?
Sorry for the overwhelming negativity, but it *is* Monday...
