good invention spotlight 005

batteries are in everything. cell phones, laptops, alarm clocks, calculators, cars, trucks, vans, buses, cameras, flashlights, wireless mice, wireless keyboards, wireless remotes, wireless microphones, wireless controllers. the list could go on (it does). in our modern world, we use them every day, but we don't often think about how lucky we are to have these little power cells working around the clock--and in the clock, ha ha--for us. the future of power is in batteries, and mark my words, investing in that market is a good idea, especially as more alternative energy sources are explored. my 25 year prediction? your house powered by a battery. my 50 year prediction? extra big batteries that power entire grids.

the good invention spotlight is a series here on frank's new blog with the humble mission of recognizing useful everyday inventions that people may take for granted. it begs the question: how did people ever make do without? we certainly couldn't.
