OK, so I know that batteries aren't the most exciting things in the world, but work with me here, because this is pretty cool. Batteries are used in most of the equipment here and sometimes (very rarely), items can't be borrowed because their batteries aren't fully charged. Well, with the new 'mighty micro-batteries' that are now in the works, charging laptops could go from 4 hours to a couple of minutes, with claims that the new batteries charge 1,000 times faster than those now. These changes could even help aid the progress of all technologies, allowing the cameras and other multimedia equipment to be even smaller! Unfortunately, we will still have to wait a little longer for the micro-batteries, for they are not quite safe enough and experience over-heating problems. Hopefully these problems are fixed soon, because according to TechNewsWorld, "battery technology has always lagged advances in other areas of electronics." Once popular, who knows what changes we could see in the equipment we loan out!
