There are many old buildings around, where it is difficult to run cables 
  and some people do worry about appearance.  Also, there are many 
situations where mobility is important.  Fox example, last year my 
company was involved with a job at a large green house.  The staff there 
used tablet computers, as they wandered around, doing their work. 
Similar situations occur in hospitals etc.  Another example would be in 
the library or coffee shops etc., where people bring their computers and 
just use them, without worrying about ethernet connections.  At home, 
while I do have ethernet, I also take my notebook out onto the balcony 
or some times, even when using it at my desk, I don't bother plugging it 
the ethernet cable.  Some computers, such as my Nokia N800 don't even 
have an ethernet connection, though it does have WiFi.

Regardless, the most appropriate connection method depends on needs and 
whatever works best in that environment.
