"Is there some way to move FORWARD in our love/hate relationship with
cords?  Talk about old and dust covered analog.  Listen to us, talking
about solving ergonometric problems with patch panels.  Quaint, and a
part of me thinks that's really neat.  Rest of me thinks that's really
retro."

Worse, cords&  cables have CONNECTORS on the end of them.

Electronic systems consist of
cheap, reliable chips on
cheap, reliable cards,
interconnected by

EXPENSIVE, UNRELIABLE, FLAKY cables and connectors. The fewer of them, the better, I say.
