In terms of "wireless", IR is being obsoleted by WiFi and Bluetooth.

Both of these are radio (wireless) tehnologies that offer faster data rates, potentially greater range (WiFi especially), and freedom from IR's need to have line-of-sight between the computer and the peripheral.

In terms of wired connectivity, USB was designed to replace a collection of interfaces such as parallel and serial, and to allow many more kinds of devices to be connected over the USB "bus", and to allow a number of devices to connect over the bus. This was either impossible or much more limited with the older serial and parallel interfaces.

Name five standard ports?

The very definition of what is considered a "port" can vary, as well as the period of time they were considered "standard." Ports found on almost all current computers: USB ports Headphone / speaker jack Microphone jack Ethernet Jack eSATA port FireWire port Ports found on older computers, and some newer ones: Parallel port (sometimes called LPT1 / 2) Serial ports (sometimes called COM 1 - 4) PS/2 ports (one for mouse, one for keyboard) Joystick port


If you need to use a legacy termional application that communicates through a COM or a serial port what IrDA spec is likely to be involved?

None. The IrDA is only important if you are using an infrared transceiver on the serial port. This is seldom found in most computers.

What are the Advantages of infrared spectroscopy?

IR Advantages: Low power requirements: therefore ideal for laptops, telephones, personal digital assistants Low circuitry costs: $2-$5 for the entire coding/decoding circuitry Simple circuitry: no special or proprietary hardware is required, can be incorporated into the integrated circuit of a product Higher security: directionality of the beam helps ensure that data isn't leaked or spilled to nearby devices as it's transmitted Portable Few international regulatory constraints: IrDA (Infrared Data Association) functional devices will ideally be usable by international travelers, no matter where they may be High noise immunity: not as likely to have interference from signals from other devices
