    Steve Jobs reckoned people didn't know what they needed until it was handed to them. So maybe come up with a few options and we could have a poll on which one we need most.

    Nikola Tesla is purported to have invented something in the vein of wireless electricity way back when our grandfathers were still coming to grips with an earth which wasn't flat.

    Mr Rockefeller didn't want to get it off the ground because it wasn't billable.

    'If you can't charge people for it, you got no business, sonny.'

    Similar to why electric cars arent ubiquitous today - the big oil companies' revenue stream would collapse if this technology was implemented, which was possible as early as the 80's. Thank you government lobbying they say...

    A device that allows you to punch people in the face repeatedly over the Internet, whenever they avail of their divine right to post really stupid opinions on Web or chat sites.

    Cool... free electricity for the first few years until your neighbours figure out how to password secure their mains supply.

    In a technological era where we are, we have increasingly accustomed to using electronic devices e.g smartphones or touchpads.
    The big problem is about the battery life. The company which will launches desks with integrated induction charger will enjoy a great success.

    Not just desks, but tables and counters in bars and restaurants, hotels etc.
