So I was reading the announcement today that new Macbooks will not have ethernet ports and it got me wondering if its time to replace the decades old ethernet port with something newer and smaller. I don't know the reasons why Apple is doing away with it; my guesses are either physical size, or its just that few people are using them any more in favor of wireless. All indications are that the next iPhone will have a microUSB port to replace the much larger standard Apple connector.
So my question is; is wired networking dead for non-server environments, or is it just time for an update to the the trusty rj-45 port?
