Wireless Electricity

I remember hearing a while back about networks over power cables. And then we had wireless networking. I thought I was being funny when I asked if wireless power would be next.

Turns out that exactly what scientists have been working on. They think they've come up with a way that our small devices like MP3 players, phones and laptops can be charged without cables from some base station.

It sounds a little scary to me, and if people are worried about the health effects of wireless internet, wait they get a load of people charing their laptops through the air.

What do you think?
