To charge or not to charge?
Actually, when you think about the concept of plugging in anything with a cable it seems really archaic. In fact wall sockets really haven't changed for quite a long time, so why is this something we never address? Why is it immediately assumed that an electronic appliance HAS to be charged by plugging it into the socket in the wall and tethering your hard earned appliance, increasing the risk of accidental breakage.
If we can wirelessly transfer information from one point to another, surely we can transfer power in a similar way?
Think of it, a laptop that automatically can sense your wireless plug and charge when its in range!
No cables, no breaking, no panic to find the plug because you're battery is about to die!
Apparently its not too far-fetched at all:

So, conclusion of the plug debate:
The laptop will now come with a nifty detachable wireless charger. Smoothly aligned with the rest of the laptop casing, simply depress like a button and it will pop out. By removing and plugging into the wall, the charger will immediately starts rejuvenating your laptop.
Not sure where you put the plug? A simple control on the laptop interface will request the charger sends out a noise so you can easily hunt it down and slide it back into your laptop.

Very unusual idea
