You know what's really strange... unfathomably odd perhaps even????

There must be some reason, unbeknownst to me perhaps, why almost every
wireless device ever made has that always unused on/off switch. 

Come to think of it, so does every bluetooth device. And every phone.
And every computer too! What's going on here. Why is there even a switch?

Why do they add such strange switches if we never need to turn it off?
