Flat Wire

Some of you might have already heard or seen the the Flatwire infomercial. What this product is is an innovative approach to electrical wiring. Created by Southwire company, this is an innovative way for homeowners to wire easier. Everyone experiences the tangles of wires whether it be from your computer desk or your entertainment system. Flatwire is a new type of wiring that is virtually paper-thin, it allows for televisions to be connected to stereos to power outlets without the mess of conventional wires.

Affordances
  • Paper thin wiring.
  • Bends at any angle.
  • Virtually disappears if you paint over it.
  • Adhesive so it can be applied right onto walls.
Drawbacks
  • Only supports conventional wiring.
  • High-cost.
  • Has not broken into the computer technology world.
This technology has been out for a while but it hasn't really improved much. I cannot wait until they apply it to computer wiring such as cat-5 cables, usb cables, dvi cables, and just conventional power source cables for computer parts. In reality my entertainment system is not that messy looking, my computer desk however really needs help.
