Whilst putting my phone, watch, tablet and powerbank on charge yesterday evening, I glanced outside at my car, still charging, having been slowly pulling 8A for ~14 hours.
Between 150 and 20 years ago, there was some amazing future-looking fiction written, accurately predicting all sorts of stuff; handheld computers, smart watches, the Internet, satellites, electric cars even.
But I never read anything about how much of our lives would revolve around charging batteries in almost every device.
