Wireless electricity is not a thing of the past, but a thing of the present. The ability to use electricity wirelessly is currently being created and tested. The near future will most likely use this system for home electricity.
Reaction
Wireless electricity was something that was always associated with the future. That is no longer the case. I find it quite fascinating how scientists managed to create such results. The use of magnetic fields to conduct energy simply sounds marvelous. A world without chargers and wires is a much happier one.
Connection
The whole world revolves around using wires to power their devices. This technology, that is currently under development, has the ability to change life as we all know it. This topic can easily be connected with all areas of life because the use of electricity is a necessity.
Short Answer
What is the central idea of the passage and how is it developed and refined throughout the selection?
The central idea of this passage is on the existence of wireless electricity and its impact on the world. The author also explains how common this technology will be, “wire-free energy transfer could be as easy as wireless internet” (Pondsford). This statement was done to further support that wireless technology will be the way of the future. He also goes into detail about how this technology is safe and harmless, “Don't worry about getting zapped...they are the same kind of fields used in Wi-Fi routers” (Ponsford). This will make all the people that were uneasy about the magnetic fields more content and satisfied.
