Wireless revolution. How far will it go?

Do you think that they will ever start making internal components of a computer wireless? Eliminate wiring (except power of course)? Or would this make it too hard to setup?
 
I'm not saying tomorrow, they eventually will be able to send information fast enough. I was just wondering if it would even be possible, like would a bios be able to run wireless?
 
Consider that the peak throughput of the PCI bus is 132 MB/s. 802.11G wireless pushes 54 Mb/s. That's bytes vs. bits, mind you... And PCI-X runs at 1,066 MB/s. So yes, speed would be KILLED. (Source)

Wireless prevails where people do not want to or cannot run cables. Inside a box is the perfect place to run cables.

Even if wireless and wired speeds were somehow equaled, consider the added cost of implementation, the possible security implications, compatability issues, and greater suscpetibility to interference.
