Futurist Friday: Wireless Charging

This new feature will establish me as a futurist, one who extrapolates from current trends and practices and then leaps with abandon to postulate what will be.

There will be “charge points” and entire charging networks established such that in many cities and towns one will need no cords, either for connection to the nets or to power devices.
