All Wired Up? Not for long...

I have to say, by having all these techno-gadgets around I sure have to do a lot of charging up. It seems I always have to charge my ipod, phone, camera or computer. It is such a pain when the batteries run out because then the object is useless. But a new thing called “WiTricity” could change that. MIT scientists found a way to charge things wirelessly. If you’re in a room equipped with wireless power your device will charge automatically. But if you have to be in a certain room anyway to use it, wouldn’t it be just as easy to plug it in. I think the only benefit is not having to remember to plug anything in (which I often do forget until it’s too late).
I think this technology still has a little way to go; they need to find a way to send the electricity directly and not let harmful radiation emit into all directions. Personally, I would rather have a battery that didn’t require charging period. But this just goes to show it won’t be long until everything is wireless.
