I remember watching the Computer Chronicles from the late 80's, early 90's about the new Laptops being released that feature a rechargeable battery with whopping 1.5 hours battery life! Cut to today, I only need to recharge my iPad twice a week, My 7 year old Macbook gets 3-4 hours (though, I did replace the battery not too long ago), My phone can last a week or two without a recharge. Sure, some of that was due to miniaturization and more efficient components but battery technology has vastly improved in just the last 20 years alone. We've gone from huge Lead Acid bricks to small Lithium Ion power packs.
I can't wait for batteries and charge cables to be replaced by Supercaps and induction charging on mainstream devices.
