Charging

I began teaching graduate students right during the beginning of the computer age.  I think the US is more into the AI and the smartphone stage now.  I just searched for the percentage of US adults that have only a smartphone and no other digital devices.  Because of my poor hearing and advice from my audiologist, I bought a smartphone but I rarely use it.  It is terrible for creating documents, including blog posts.  The keyboard is much too small.  An external keyboard connected to an inexpensive computer such as an Asus is much easier to use.  I make fewer mistakes with a slightly bigger layout than on my smartphone.

The last few days, I have seen an ad explaining how I can lessen the number and size of power strips with multiple cords connected to them.  The ad classifies such nests as "eyesores".  I admit that charging this and that makes for complex arrangements of chords and little lights.  Having adopted the idea of charging devices to only 60 to 80% of their capacity makes for more charging around the house.  I am urging the adoption of a new, pro-charging aesthetic.
