As I came home today, settled in, and added another device to my mess of charging cables it occurred to me I really need to buy (another) splitter and better distribute things.
I currently, on a somewhat-daily basis, charge:
1. My phone
2. Bluetooth speaker
3. Bluetooth headphones of one or more variety
4. Backup battery pack
5. Ecig and/or accessories
6. PS4 controller (that is only used on PC hence it needs it needs a place to charge that isn't with a console).
This is not to mention stuff that primarily lives in my suv, like an Avantree Saturn and other misc crap I move less often.
...and I'm just one guy that isn't much for mobile (laptop/tablets). This must simply be a nightmare for people with full houses using multiples of at least some of those.
I'm curious...what's 'normal' for you/yours? Do you think we've become daily-charging crazy in the pursuit of wireless everything? Does anyone else wish Qi was more of a thing and perhaps a little more practical? Will higher amperage usb be a god-send, or just encourage us to have more and higher-power/smaller (less mah) accessories we plug/unplug more often? Will Moore's Law prevail in our favor in this regard (eventually) because of diminishing practical performance returns and hence longer battery life?
Mostly, I just want to see someone post a desk/table/whatever full of used charger/hubs and tangled usb cables...It'll make me feel better.
