He says the next big thing will be wireless charging of your devices.

This would make Nikola Tesla very happy since he wanted us to have wireless electricity a hundred years ago.

But there's only one concern I have. Even before this there is evidence that electric/electromagnetic radiation may present a health hazard. I can't help but think that sending a WHOLE HELL of a lot of more amperage through the air would be an exponentially worse health hazard. Or is there something I'm overlooking?

As I was driving home Saturday, I picked up a public radio station out of Bloomington Illinois where they have storytelling. What a wonderful radio show for a trip, but one storyteller talked about getting a flat tire in the middle of rural Texas before cell phones. He called it BC.

I remember how incredible it was to have my bag phone which I could connect to the lighter socket and allowed me to talk to people in transit. It paid for itself in less than a week with better utilization of my time. Now with the smart phones, I no longer have a paper map in the car, I can talk to anybody simply by touching a button on my steering wheel, stop and use google to find out the best rated restaurant in a town.

I just had my brakes fail on 87 after a dump truck stopped suddenly as I was pulling a trailer and rented lawn mower. I had replaced the wheel bearing in February after hitting a pothole in Nashville, so I was not sure if it was the bearings or brakes. Pulled over a half hour later, and had dust on the wheel rim, heat on the rim, and grabbing as I drove. Google told me of the problem of sticking calphs, and that remanufactured are a huge savings, but that you need to replace your brake lines. From the side of the road I found Tires plus in Milton to be highly rated, told them my suspicions, got pricing after I had searched the web and told them what I had found......he told me to come in at 7 because they open at 7:30 and he would line up the parts, but they had 22 people waiting the day before, and I need to first in line......I was and by noon I had an incredibly fair priced brake job and was on my way home with new brakes installed with new lines all because I had a cell phone in the car which assisted me to do an analysis of a problem and solve the same as I sat on the side of the road........not like getting a flat in rural Texas BC.

I have great memories of driving across Texas w my dad. From Houston to Odessa. The lush green eastern lowlands... the hills heading into and then west out of Austin... the amazing transition onto the plains... the endless tumbleweed western dry lands. He used to let me drive at about 13 once we hit the deserted highways. I can't imagine living there before cars... but we survived bc... lol.
