The Sufficient Power Supply for Electronic Devices

Diazca Adizsa (12-G)

Along with the incessant discoveries of advanced technologies and

innovative inventions, the society’s needs and demands keep on
increasing accordingly.

A portable external battery charger was invented in 2001 in order

to overcome the demand of the society. It made its first appearance in
Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show and is now commonly
known as a power bank. The discovery of this device certainly represents
one of the greatest inventions in the latest century.

Power bank offers many benefits that could actually conceal its
inferiorities. One of the best advantages it provides is, of course, the
portability.

In many cases, people are unable to find access to electric sockets

when they are not home, hence the incapability of charging their gadgets.
When their gadgets run out of batteries, it will not be possible to supply
them with power unless an electric socket is available. The portability of
power bank might be the only suitable answer to solve this problem.

That aside, a power bank is also useful for its ability in charging
more than one electronic device. This competence depends on the type of
the power bank itself. External battery chargers that provide multiple USB
ports and have enough power will be able to satisfy people who use more
than one gadget on a daily basis.

Back in the old days, the society used to prepare some extra
internal batteries in case their gadgets run out of power. It requires their
devices to reboot before working normally again. When a power bank is
used, however, no such rebooting is necessary. Moreover, a power bank
has larger power supply compared to the standard internal battery, hence
the higher effectiveness and efficiency.

On the other side, some might argue that this invention makes
people become eternally attached to their gadgets and makes them less
aware of the happening situations. However, it is not the fault of a power
bank to start with. The addiction has started from the inventions of
various gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, and game players. A power
bank is merely another device discovered in order to overcome the
demands that appeared due to the developing technologies.

The discovery of power bank is only one out of many examples of

how advance the world’s technology has become. Granted: the
corresponding markets and industries have successfully sufficed what the
society needs in term of gadgets’ power supplies. A power bank is yet
another genius invention that provides various utilities - ranging from its
portability, its efficiency as well as its multitasking ability – and can be
categorized as a must-have item in the current century.
