From Traditional Chargers to Charging Pads

Charging pads allow you to charge your phone without the mess of the wires. You would never again have add more stress to your life by untangling wires, because a pad eliminates that. All one must do to use a charging device is to lay your device down on the pad to charge it. The pad is covered with panels that conduct energy and charge the device. So why are people still using regular chargers? One of the reasons is because these devices come with the charging cords, so many people find it useless to buy what they don't need. Another reason is because sometimes phones need certain cases that correspond with the pad for it to work. For these reasons, manufacturers are starting to incorporate the technology of charging pads at the design level of their products. A company called Wireless Power Consortium created an international standard for wireless charging called the Qi. This intends to make the charging pad easier to use, by building technology in so that phones don't require a certain sleeve.

I would definitely consider charging my phone with a charging pad. I personally get very frustrated wrapping up my cords each morning, putting them away, and then taking them out again when my phone dies. I think that charging pads are definitely a technology of the future, but they need some improvements first. Once changes are made to improve the charging pad, I think that companies should begin merging with big phone companies. This would allow the change to be made from regular chargers to the new charging pad. I believe that the charging pad definitely has major potential, but first changes need to be made.

  1. I would probably consider buying the pad as well because having to deal with wires can be annoying. Of course, once a new product is introduced in the market, its demand would not be high since people are still not aware of its performance. However, as soon as the company starts making the right adjustments to the product, I would absolutely guarantee its success!
