Charge (a little) better.
Okay, so most sci-fi shows take place pretty far in the future, so they get to skip a lot of the annoying in-between steps when it comes to technology. The cleaning robots don’t bump into the walls and the virtual assistants don’t get confused when people use the wrong phrase to check movie listings.
And then there’s charging.
Nothing in sci-fi is ever plugged in and nothing ever needs to charge. Whenever there’s a cool little handheld gadget or whatever, it just works—all the time. Unless there’s a plot point that relies on it breaking, but that’s different.
The point is, we can all agree that on a long enough timeline, we won’t need to worry about charging our phones anymore. They’ll just work, thanks to lifetime batteries or cold fusion or nuclear fission or…something. And Star Trek won’t show it to you, but somewhere between plugging your phone into the wall like it’s 1990 and having it just work all the time like the year 2200, there must be a weird middle ground.
Welcome to modern phone charging and the awkward adolescence of technological history.
With today’s deal, interim charging weirdness never looked so good.
These little pads are sleek, functional, and stay out of the way until you need them. If your favorite starship captains had to drop their little handheld whatevers onto a pad like this before bed every night, we probably wouldn’t even notice.
So no, these don’t quite get you to 24th century eternal battery convenience, but they just might be the next best thing. You’ll like them so much, we’ll even send you two.
