Would You Use This To Charge Your Phone?
Visiting my niece's college over the weekend, I saw the microwave oven that's in her dorm room. The panel had all the usual buttons, but I was surprised to see what was down below: USB ports and an electrical outlet for charging phones and tablets.
This microwave manufacturer surely knows their market! Extra charging stations in old dorm rooms where there are not a lot of wall receptacles...it's brilliant!
With our smart phones so much a part of our lives, it's no wonder we're seeing features like this. I've noticed "Charging Stations" pop up in supermarkets, train stations, and buses. Airports have had Charging Kiosks for a while but lately I've been seeing outlets right in the seating areas. In some airports each seat has its own place to charge a device.
Some airplanes now let you charge while flying. And my most recent Uber driver offered me a charging cord as soon as I entered the vehicle. What a great thing to offer passengers who may need some juice to keep their phones working.
Where in Ocean County have you seen a Charging Station pop up? Have you seen ports and outlets in other appliances like my niece's microwave?
