Recently my family and I took a road trip, and during the five hour car ride my smart watch dies. I began searching for the charger and while doing so my husband causally said, "You know, your phone can charge your watch, right?" Obviously, I had no clue! He explained that I needed to click on "PowerShare." As these two smart devices connected, I began thinking: how in the world is this possible? I started googling and began reading about wireless power. What is wireless power and how does … [Read more...]
