> I don't see good change as likely or probable in quite a long long long time. Perhaps lifetimes. USB-C is the final destination of mainstream computing, as far as it looks, and I merely wish it wouldn't last as many lifetimes as it seems probable to.

We’re already well on our way to removing connectors and using Qi/WiFi/Bluetooth. I bet we’ll see phones without connectors soon.

For a big range of uses I think youcre right that wireless can help, that it grows. Chromecasts are great, for example, for letting us work across devices/systems. We dont need hdmi.

For video transmission i dont think there's a viable replacement. wifi6 wave 2 or wifi7 might possibly make wifi good enough. Also Im not expecting wireless power delivery to scale. It's adequate for phones but I dont think it makes sense for even mid sized laptops.
