Mobile Phones powered by humans?

Now how may times have you been out and about and your mobile phone loses it battery? Im pretty sure at one point we have all experienced this. And im pretty sure it’s as annoying for you as it is for me.

But now things are changing, and your phone losing battery when you’re out of the house could soon be a thing of the past. Thanks to some pretty clever Americans.

A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin led by Prof Krupenkin have come with technology that can generate electricity from human motion. 

But technology like this isn’t exactly new, but what sets Prof Krupenkin from the rest is the way the technology works.  The device uses microscopic droplets able to conduct electrical current. 

But once you have the energy, how do you get it into the phone? 

Well Prof Krupenkin already has a solution “the electricity-generating device connected to a shoe-bound wireless transmitter. This would take care of the power hungry part of a mobile phone's job - making radio contact with remote base stations.”

But what do you the buying public think of this?

Good idea? / Bad idea?

I'm new to blogging and to the computer for that matter the only reconmendation I have is more internal.

Staying true to who you are and what you stand for is very important to me.

This isn't a technical reccomendation but one that has made blogging more fulfilling and pleasureable to me.
