It may seem strange to think about, but technology as we know it may be changing right before our eyes. We are living in a time where energy has (once again) become a major focus in the country. Where it comes from, how it's made and how we can use less of it to get further. Mostly, our focus on energy leads us to discussions like cars, solar power and wind energy. One of the latest (and in my opinion coolest) focuses has been on electricity. This time however, the debate isn't about how where the electricity is coming from, it's about how it is getting there.

Electricity with no more wires.

Think about that for a minute. When I first heard it, I kind of skimmed over it in my head. I think I took it for granted how many things now come without wires or something. We already have phones without wires. We have the internet without wires. We even have braces with no more wires. In a world without wires on so many things that used to rely on them, electricity was always going to be the thing that stayed grounded, right?

We may have thought wrong.

I stumbled across the video above when looking into the TEDxDetroit meeting coming to Detroit this October. I had heard rumblings about this technology movement and the companies that were in a sprint to be able to bring it to market first. It's truly an amazing piece of ingenuity that it far above my head, but that I plan to exploit at every opportunity.

Let's look at three different aspects of my personality, and how they will be changed by no longer having long wires to deal with (in theory): Type #1: The Guy Who Takes His Laptop Everywhere

My laptop has no permanent home. It lives on my couch, in my bed, at my kitchen table, in my office, at the coffee shop and wherever I need a Twitter fix. I can not seem to sit still with the thing. I go through power cord after power cord because I lug it with me from room to room, building to building and they take a beating. The idea (if the technology becomes advanced enough) of being able to walk from room to room without being a slave to my ever weakening battery power is a God send. Imagine if companies like Apple or HP team up with a chain of coffee shops like Starbucks to provide free wireless power to their laptops at any participating location. No longer are shops and restaurants boasting about their free wi-fi access, they are now drawing in the mobile worker with free wireless power. If anyone sees this idea in 5 years, you know where you heard it first.

Type #2: The musician

Much like many other people, I had a band in high school and college, and I still have dreams deep down of playing for sold out arenas of screaming fans. My first thought was that wires were the biggest pain of my musical career. We were able to take away the wire that connected my bass to my amp, but there was never a shortage of power cords running along the stage floor (read: empty space at a VFW hall or converted coffee shop) bringing to life our amps, keyboards, speakers, monitors and always essential smoke machine and lighting. On more than one occasion, myself or my band mates would trip, stumble and ultimately look uncool because of a wire powering one of our "must haves." This technology means no more tripping, No more looking uncool, and being able to do a David Lee Roth axe kick without any worry about where we placed the amps that night.

Type #3: The sports nut

A man cave. Plain and simple. At the point in the video where Eric brings out a flat screen and lights it up from across the stage, I began to fantasize about what I could do with this technology, a little imagination, and about 162 Tigers games. As much as I love gadgets and boxes and cool tech toys, I always seem to get hung up on the ugly hanging wires, the miles of zip ties it takes to corral them, and buying furniture because it hides the power cord, not because I actually like it. Interior decorators must be freaking out waiting to hang those flat screen TV's in the place they've always wanted to. You could place all of your power centers under your couch or pool table, and have the whole room powered.

The verdict: All of my personalities are excited. I can see some practical uses for it, but I think that real value in the product will be the innovation that comes out of taking off that barrier. I'd love to geek out about it more, but my battery is about to die and I need to go plug in.

I want to know what you think. Would you use it? Can you think of a cool use for it? How would it impact your day to day? Leave a comment and we can all geek out about it together.
