While reading through the newspaper yesterday, I happened to glance upon an article regarding a new and emerging technology called WiTricity. As the name suggests, WiTricity has the ability to power devices through the air wirelessly.
The possibilities for this are endless, if I could do away power cables I’ll be a happy man. Imagine a Wi-Tri enabled home whereby the mobile phone in your pocket charges as soon as you enter through the front door. And let’s not stop there, how about Wi-Tri enabled cars? airports or internet cafes.
Rumors have it they are even researching WiTricity desks, whereby the desk surface charges any device placed upon it. Mobiles, iPods, PCs you name it. Certainly with new Technologies comes great responsibility, security springs to mind.
Just how would we secure these Wi-Tri appilances? Will it be similar to Wi-Fi? WPA, WEP keys anyone? exciting times. Definitely an exciting technology to watch through 2009-10.
