i recently got a new kindle dx for travel; so i can brink multiple books without the bulk and weight. it is a great device but the battery sucks; it doesnt hold a charge. so when i took it out to read on vacation last night it needed to be charged. no problem; i brought my little back of chargers with me; took out the white charging wire only to discover that one of the parts was missing; why companies make chargers with multiple parts that plug into each other is a bit of a mystery. so here i am in the middle of the french countryside with an unusable kindle.
it got me thinking; here we are in a world facing so many hard to solve issues, the economy, climate change healthcare, peace in the middle east; and here we have a ridiculous but easily solved problem that we chose not to solve
i have alot of devices. a blackberry, casio cell phone, a sony lap top, a nikon camera, the aforementioned kindle and more i am sure and none of the damn things can use the same chargers. i just went to verizon and got the new generation of the same casio phone and my old charger doesnt fit!!!!!!!!! this is truly a crime against humanity.
think of the time, money, waster etc that could be saved my merely having standardized plugs?
from the industry that brought us the term plug compatible it is truly time for the words to mean what the words are supposed to mean
