In the early 14th century, a floor globe would have looked
like an alien contraption because Copernicus hadn't convinced everyone that the
world is round just yet. Now, such things are common and every library has at
least a basic one, and for the technologically inclined libraries, they may
even have one that could tell the time and temperature of the places on the
globe. A mere 500 years after finding out that the world doesn't revolve around
the earth, progress has certainly made a lot of leaps, and along with those
leaps came portability, and portable chargers.
There's a charger for your mobile phone, another for your
MP3 (4 or 5), yet another for your digital camera, and then there's a
possibility that you have a portable game console, and the next thing you know,
you're struggling with a snake's nest of wires. Not to mention putting yourself
in danger of the possibility of blowing a fuse, literally and figuratively.
The solution to that tangled spaghetti of chargers is the
electronics charging station, a stationery port that has only ONE wire, yet you
can charge up to three electronic devices all at the same place and it can save
you a lot of time because you don't have to wait for one gadget to be fully
charged before you can use that outlet again, or save you from having to reach
in to those tight places for other outlets.
An electronics charging
station can look like the space age gadget that it is, sleek metal or smooth
plastic or it can be disguised as a night stand organizer, made of wood or
leather, and can have many useful little drawers that can help organize other
little gadgets on your night table or desk, like pens, reading glasses, coins,
or even paper clips.
To add to the utility of this charming port, you can get an
electronics charging station with a night light in its design, or a vacuum cleaner (yes, a vacuum cleaner).
To appeal to the more aesthetically inclined market, one can get a hand painted
port that looks anything but an electronics charging station, or one with
pastel polka dots for the younger generation, or a nice warm mahogany to blend
with your desk and leather desk set.
Wireless Gadgets
There are useful gadgets like the wireless home weather
stations that will not take up an extra outlet from your electronics charging station. A home weather station is a lot like
a digital alarm clock, but it can tell you the weather inside and outside with
forecast icons (clouds, sun, sun behind the clouds, etc.), through sensors strategically
placed around your home. It can have up to three sensors feeding the display
panel, and a radio-controlled date and time display. Some even have moon phase
displays, and clothing suggestions, in digital or full color, or even an
animated display.
