The Green Wireless Charger

In this day and age, everything is going wireless. I remember the first time I used wireless Internet, and how I felt like I was in some kind of bizarre future world. The idea that data transmitted through the air baffled and fascinated me. But then again, I'm a nerd. Most people probably don't think about these things.

However, I'm sure this one will get the brain going. Two companies, WiPower and Green Plug, are partnering together to work on a green wireless charger. Yes, wireless power. How's that for the future? The technology they're working on would allow for a universal wireless charger, instead of all the proprietary ones that different manufacturers provide with their products. This is going to take some working together with manufacturers, but on top of the coolness of charging things without wires, it would also be very green.

How is it green? Every year, "millions of chargers are thrown away each year when people buy new devices and discard the old chargers".It could save millions in costs for those manufacturers, and also saves on the waste created by all the unused chargers. Hopefully this doesn't get too much push back. I'd love to see this technology in my home.
