An Electricity Revolution

It’s 2015, and we still don’t have flying cars.

I hear this complaint all the time from people who think the technological revolution hasn’t quite lived up to expectations set by sci-fi movies from 20, 30, or 40 years ago.

Back to the Future is just such a movie — it predicted that by 2015, we’d have aerial superhighways and the Jaws franchise would continue producing hit after hit, well into double-digit sequel territory.

Well, clearly some of those predictions failed to materialize.

We don’t have self-drying clothing or self-lacing shoes, and we definitely don’t have hoverboards, which has been a personal letdown.

What we do have today, however, is arguably far ahead of Robert Zemeckis’ vision for the early 21st century.

I may not be able to fly a levitating car to work, but I can take a video of my daughter with my smartphone and, within 20 seconds, have that video published to billions of potential viewers across the world.

In the sequel to Back to the Future, Marty McFly was fired via fax. Today, we hardly even use paper.

Everything is digital. Everything is scalable. Everything is available to us on demand at the tap of a finger, and we don’t even notice it anymore.

That’s how amazing the reality of the digital revolution is.

Better than Fiction

I can order a pizza, a couch, a TV, or — if I were really pressed — a new bride from the comfort of my computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Put that into context with Doc Brown’s famous words: “Where we’re going, we don’t need… roads.”

Today, it’s more like: “Where we are, we don’t need to go anywhere.”

This is why the next technological revolution I’m going to tell you about means so much.

The one thing we have not been able to escape — even as most of our practical, everyday problems have been answered by one mobile app or another — is the need to power the devices that enable our modern lifestyles.

Yes, I know — it’s shameful to even mention the inconvenience of periodically plugging in a device that has 100,000 times the processing power of the computers which put the first men on the moon when the benefits that that device gives us are so universal.

But the fact is that it’s a problem — a problem big enough that the biggest corporations in the world have turned it into a revenue stream.

The End of a Parasitic Dream for Apple and Friends

Ever notice that Apple changes its charging interfaces every few years? Ever notice that you can’t charge an iPhone 6 with an iPhone 4 plug?

I realized this when I purchased a wireless sound system for my house, hoping to run it off a previous-generation iPod.

Before I knew it, I’d spent $500 on a current-generation iPod just to make the $500 wireless sound system function.

That’s how they suck you in, and that’s how they keep you buying new stuff. Because once that new adapter tip comes out, not only are you physically inconvenienced when it comes to mating your older devices with newer chargers, but you are now subconsciously demoted to the dreaded status of “behind the times.”

You might hate it, but I can guarantee you that Apple loves it… and so does any company that emulates this extremely effective and robust marketing ploy.

It keeps their customers loyal because the user interface they’ve grown to rely on is what the customers are after — and as falling behind in today’s consumer culture isn’t really an option, the only answer is to keep buying more stuff, regardless of how inherently pointless the “improvements” happen to be.

Well, quite recently, there’s been a major development in the industry that may make all of this a memory.

Did they come up with a universal adapter to make all this compatibility nonsense a non-issue? No, it’s nothing as superficial as that.

What this company invented goes well beyond charging devices or cords. In fact, it does away with all of that altogether.

No Wires. No Adapters. No Physical Interfaces.

If what I’m describing sounds a little bit like wireless recharging, then you’re on exactly the right track.

Because that’s the next step — and not just for smartphones. Wireless charging is the way of the future for all of your personal devices, from tablets to laptops.

You think you’ve seen wireless charging? Well, you probably haven’t.

In the last few years, there has been a bit of a trend for wireless charging via charging pads — basically a self-contained electromagnetic field that can charge your cell phone when you lay it down on the pad’s surface.

Well, this isn’t that at all. This takes wireless charging to its ideal expression — with absolutely no contact between electrode and device.

In fact, you don’t even need to take your device out of your pocket. If you’re within 15 feet of the charging station, you will get power to your battery and 11 other similar devices at the same time.

Think about that: No more charging. No more looking for cables. No more even thinking about it. The power will be in the air for you to use without a second thought.

It may sound like science fiction, and it’s exactly that amazing… only it’s science fact.

Think Big.

This company has already proven its technology works, and it holds the patents to claim the innovation.

But don’t view this as another minor improvement to an already amazing product category.

It isn’t that at all. Instead, it’s a first glimpse at an altogether new technology and perhaps a whole new industry.

Wireless power is one of the magic-bullet innovations that can change the way we use entire categories of products in a single swing…

From phones to computers and even to cars — which are becoming more and more reliant upon electric charge as well.

Just last week, one of my veteran editors, Nick Hodge, did the most in-depth profile of this company yet.

He’s seen what the company can do, and he’s projected what it will do as the industry begins to awaken to this innovation.

It’s truly one of the most eye-opening analysis pieces I’ve ever seen, and I think you need to get your own look at it ASAP.
