When Will Electronics Not Need Electricity?


Electricity is a hamper to our society.

You may argue that we would not be where we are today without electricity, and you'd be absolutely right. But, the problem is that many great products we enjoy require electricity; the electronic products we use today NEED electricity to operate.

Electricity is just a median for the electronics that we want to use. We don't actually care about electricity, we care about being able to operate our computers, televisions, phones, lights, and toasters.

Just like computers used to be people who were good with computing numbers in their head or on paper, electronics of the future will not be using electricity as a power source.

(...just trying to expand one's thinking...)

Don't be stuck in a paradigm. Facts change.

Electronics-Free Zone

I just read an interesting article on Lifehacker about having an electronics-free zone in a home. Even though I am one for having technology and electronics everywhere, I really like the idea of having absolutely no electronic devices or outlets in at least one room at home.

And to expand on the idea, perhaps this mentality can added to restaurants, airplanes, workplaces, and Tuesdays 11-2pm. Just throwing ideas out there. That way people have clear their minds by not having to worry about a phone going off or having an email to answer. By clearing your mind, you could potentially achieve a higher level of thinking and creativity.

Coolest Technology of the Day: Printable Batteries

These batteries, made with research from UC Berkeley, are ultra-thin, flexible, will make other electronics much thinner, and will provide a lot more opportunities for ubiquitous electronics. They will probably be combined with flexible screens.

These new batteries can be printed just microns thick. Read more:
