Power to the People
This article on Doc Searls struck a chord - I don't think I've ever managed a
trip abroad without forgetting some piece of equipment, usually a power
adaptor. The real winners of the next technological revolution will not be about
the size or capabilities of gizmos but about their batteries.
Whoever invents a battery that is the smallest/most longlived will make a
fortune. Other wise, we will have PCs/phones/holodecks that can fit on a
wristwatch but the user will have to carry a car battery on his back to power it.
