TV Viewers Dreams Come True. Battery Free TV Remote
Whether you use a few tv remotes or one of those do everything ones, we all live in constant fear of the batteries running out.All that energy wasted walking to the tv to change channels is chillingly close to reality with every button push.
Those fears may soon be in the past, NEC Electronics and Japanese company Soundpower have created Nirvana for TV users. A remote control that requires no batteries.
This ingenious beast creates its own power whenever a viewer presses a button. Every time you hop channels or change the volume. electricity is created through the power of vibration, the energy is then used to power the remote and get away from those annoying ad breaks.
NEC say that the electricity that is generated by the vibrations is enough to turn the TV on and off, as well as change the channel of increase or decrease the volume.
The Battery Free TV Remote Control is just in the early prototype stages at the moment, but both companies intend to start marketing the technology to TV makers next year, so who knows we could see our new TVs in the next few years arriving with battery free remote controls.
Looking at the prototype, lets just hope they can employ a designer, the existing one looks like he was around in the 60′s

The Xbox Kinect is more than just a family games console, after all you can do many things that you can’t do with the Wii. The graphics are better and the Hard Drive storage on the new Xbox is far superior to the Wii. There is no need for controllers which meansless battery and recharging cost. If you have a young family like me , you don’t have to worry about the kids misusing the controllers or dropping them in there juice. Kinect does have voice recognition so if the childrenare getting out of order and reality wrestling rather than virtual wrestling you can just shout pause and Kinect will pause. Shamethis doesn’t generally work with the kids, well not in my house anyway. There is no doubt your whole family will have a lot of fun with this system and it is taking interactive gaming to a whole newlevel. To be honest, Microsoft were falling behind a bit recently in the games console world and it’s about time they stepped up to the plate and with Xbox Kinect, they have done exactly that imho Whether it has bugs or little minor problems remains to be seen and as with all these things, the proof is in the ongoing sales rather than the initial sales onslaught of inquisitive techno-holics who buy any new gadget released.
