Future of Electricity

We are all tired of looking at cables spread through our house like snakes, trying to hide them under the carpets, behind the bed. No matter how hard you try to hide them, they are always visible.

Can you imagine your home without cables? Can you imagine all house electrical appliances working without plugging? No charges for cell phones, laptops? Is it possible? Are we close to wireless electricity? Yes! A group of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology figured out how to transmit electric power without using wires – over the air. This is just an experiment but we all hope it will soon become reality.

Another thing comes to my mind.

When you are on holiday and not at home for couple of months, you always worry who’s going to pay your electricity bill. Industry experts claim that in future consumers will take control over consuming electricity. You will not have to rely on public power supplies but your own. No one knows how long would it take for this to come true. But we hope very soon.

Nowadays we are faced with huge amounts of carbon dioxide in the air which we breathe. Our lungs and respiratory organs are exposed to the extremely dangerous diseases. But future electricity is clean and safe without any danger to our health. Using natural renewable energy sources will provide clean environment which can not be said for current methods of energy production. Consuming different types of fuels should be exceeded.

There are a lot of electric things we are using in every day’s life. We have all heard or maybe seen electric cars. But what about other things like our clothes, shoes, pencils, toothbrushes. Could they be electrical? This sounds like we are watching science fiction movie. If you travel to Japan, visit Tokyo and its futuristic shop in Akihabara which is also known as Electric Town. There you will feel like you are in future.

Above all we are always concerned about power outage. We all hope that natural power sources will provide enough energy and that consumers will have inexhaustible energy source. They could use electricity as much as they need in any time.
