In Need of Juice

It seems like my life is tied to chargers, not the football kind, but the electrical ones.  I know that I am not alone in my dependency on things with batteries that require constant boosts of electricity.  My phones, computer, Ipad, fitbit are just the things sitting by me at this moment that are in daily need of charging.  There are also those left often used items like cameras, camera flashes, label makers, flash lights and so on that need to be charged and never seem to be when I need them.

It seems I never have the charging cord when I am in the most vital need for a juice up.  The worst is to be away from home as you see the battery bars on your most vital device dwindling down.

I know that juice bars are a big thing these days, but they are selling the wrong kind of juice.  I would like an electricity bar that has a room full of charging cords for every possible device hanging from the ceiling.  Really the juice you drink bar could install the juice you power up with connection center and do double duty.  Call it “All Juiced Up.”

Even better would be the invention of cordless electricity.  We have blue tooth through the air, isn’t it time to have power through the air?  Electricity has existed in the air in the form of lightening bolts as long as the earth has been around so why can’t someone figure out a way to harness it and send it to all our devices on a constant and steady stream?

The idea that a lamp has to be plugged into a wall with a cord seems incredibly antiquated.  Cords running hither and yon across a floor are a hazard.  I am surprised that insurance companies have not pushed for this idea long ago.

Of course energy producing companies probably don’t want electricity to be free in the air so the first invention needs to be the “through the air electricity meter”.  Once that exists then they might be interested in working to create cordless power.  I guess the electrical wire lobby has been behind the killing of this “no cord needed” idea, but really I think we can take them if we all band together.

So start pestering all the brilliant electrical engineers you know.  Actually, just whisper this idea into the ear of a few brilliant children.  I know we can get this sooner rather than later.  I need it now because my computer battery is about to die and I don’t want to get off the treadmill desk to go get the charging cord until I have my 10,000 steps.  The only problem is my fitbit that is counting my steps is running low on juice too.  Hurry, someone invent cordless electricity now!
