Battery Technology (And an Alterninitive)

Battery Technology

We have lots of new and upcoming technology that is changing life, as we know it.
Everyone knows that to make technology work you have to give it power. The easiest way is just to make a cord and plug it up to the outlet and just keep the product in the same place all the time, sounds good right? Well, engineers didn’t like it they wanted there to be mobile technology.  So They created this new thing called batteries.
            Battery technology is one of the worst inventions yet. They can’t keep them charged for more than a day. There are batteries in phones, computers, gaming consoles, and remotes. Admit it you have to charge your phone every night. It kind of gets annoying right? This is a message for kids on your Xbox or Wii you see that your bar is blinking or red. That means you have to throw away the battery and get a new one.    
            Even computer batteries can’t stay charged for long enough for a days use of tasks. In phones the top companies have started creating a case that charges your phone when you turn on the extra battery in its case. The only problem is that over night you still have to charge the battery in its case.
            There isn’t really a way to make a battery never die. I believe that they should create something that doesn’t need charging or a plug to turn on. Engineers should make it a very tiny size so it can fit into any kind of technology. The invention should be able to power anything no matter how many volts or the amounts of power it needs.
            For example, the new iPhone 6 came out a month ago even though it’s a big hit the battery life is only 12 hours. Even though the features in the software are amazing the hardware isn’t good enough to run it for a long enough time to unlock the full potential of the software.
            This makes people very unhappy because the companies advertise the amazing new software but if the hardware can’t keep up so they lose customers! Regular consumers don’t understand the troubles of the battery. They just make it a habit to plug it up every night so it will be ready for the next day.                                             
           Computers are the worst part of the problem. If your using a computer to enhance your learning and it dies you have trouble learning. Many people have this problem because they are writing an important paper and they have to let it charge to continue.

            What if someone created a technology that powered a whole city? What if the size of that technology was smaller than a penny? That would just be revolutionizing how we think of power. This creation would be even better if engineers were able to place this source of power in a phone, computer, or even gaming controllers. If this technology is created it would overdue batteries by a long shot.
