As computers get smaller, screens get bigger, appliances get smarter, let’s focus our attention a bit on charging all these things. There has been talk for a very long time of the disappearance of cables. I think we are getting a step closer. How many steps in total we need? that is a good question…

Here is how it is done: sensors/chargers are basically all hidden beneath the surface


The future, however, is indeed to integrate charging technology in materials themselves. Imagine for instance your clothes being made of techno-materials that drive their energy from the sun, through your shoulder pads for instance (yes, maybe this is how they will be back 😃 ) and drive it right into your cell phone in your pocket. Now that will save me a lot of grief!
