it's not pretty is it? surely there's a more efficient way to charge a phone and reduce the need to manufacture and distribute chargers with every phone sold. How many chargers are there per head? I think i have about 10. innovation around basic functionality can be category leading.
In Japan, all chargers will soon be the same, no matter who makes the phone...

a puzzler indeed. increasingly feels wrong to have a growing stash of plastic and cabling to burn energy to feed our always on always connected culture. don't get me wrong i love being connected, just feel there must be better ways to supply the energy.

shit, yo! that's ugly.
sustainability, sustainability, think think think...what can we do with chargers?
first off, if companies could get together and make the same size hole for all re-charging purposes, we could use the same adaptor. Second, if battery-life was longer, then maybe we could opt-in to a charging service like once a month or something.
hmmm, this is a puzzler...
