"Function-based", "image-based" would have been slightly more accurate terms.
Wireless devices aren't actually "free of wires", it's that you don't have to deal with wires (or significantly less, since you still have to charge them etc., save for wireless charging). So that's not really new either.
The first time I heard the term wireless, I was a little kid and I understood very quickly. When I first heard the term "serverless" I was an adult who had been programming a couple years. I remember genuinely being confused as strings of unparseable buzzwords bounced off my brain. A minute or two into the explanation, I'm pretty sure I said "oh, so it actually does run on a server". The ops person was forced to say yes. It was a genuinely confusing and imo pointless conversation that we shouldn't have needed to have.
Were you doing any serious "devops" at the time? I didn't struggle with "serverless" knowing that otherwise I had to manually provision servers, virtual or bare metal.
