I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

I just stumbled upon this photo, and I started digging after the source of the information. It appears that earlier this year, Sharp has unveiled what they are calling the smallest WiFi module in the world. This obviously doesn’t directly mean much for us consumers since we can’t rush out and buy one, and even if we could most of us couldn’t do anything with it. What it will mean, though, is that a WiFi module can be used with more devices. A smaller module will hopefully mean a module that demands less power. Smaller should eventually mean cheaper, too. That means soon everything will have WiFi incorporated into it as a standard feature in anything just as rechargeable batteries or a color screen are now.

But that’s the long term. As far as I could tell, there’s no word yet on which companies other than Sharp are planning to use the module or how close it is to being in commercially available devices. Check engadget for more details.
