If so then why was the patent allowed?
ComputersAn Eye Glass With A Camera by ekidandy(op):
Technology has taken over the world - no doubt. Google has invented an eye glass with a camera in front for taking photos. And the way I see it, we will soon start recording videos with such devices.

The device has a built-in camera at the center of the frame. So according to google, when taking pictures ( or videos), you are to make you clear to everyone around that you are taking shots. You wouldn't want someone to be taking your pictures without your knowledge, would you?

The glass Camera's button is amplified in Google's recent patent figure, but it too could just blend into the glass frame so no one can be able to notice. But the way I see it, there is nowhere you would you your finger on a sophisticated device of that nature without being noticed.

Google said the device is designed to sort of take the same line of sight as the eye. So when you decide to take a picture, you have to make sure the image is located directly opposite the camera on the frame of the eye glass. Otherwise you will end up taking useless photos. The device would no doubt come with a storage card so all images you take would be automatically stored once you take the shot.

Individuals with such devices should not be allowed to enter offices and areas with secured information because someone could just take a shot of an entire document containing good information and just walk away with it without being caught. It's not as though we do not want to see this sort of thing but all the time it's never about the product, it's always about the way people decide to use it.

Facebook and other social networks came with all the benefits in the world but few years later, people decided to abuse it and cause all sorts of damage with it - from stealing personal information to impersonation and all the other things you can thing of. The way people use this eye glass should be under some control.

News sites take it up and make matters worse with all of the fake news in the world. No that is not all, all forms of almost empty photos are pasted everyday on Facebook just to lead the mind astray. So the eye hopefully, will soon be released, just wait and you will hear about it.

The device was exposed by google patents and this means that it is yet to be in the market. Sorry about that. But expect it to be soon and pray it will be affordable because such devices just simply know how to be costly. Alright Tech Family, that's all on Google's smart glass. Stay tuned for updates.

Science/TechnologyRe: How Does Wireless Charging Work? by ekidandy(op): 3:50pm On May 28, 2017
Yes. As long as you are within the field.
Science/TechnologyHow Does Wireless Charging Work? by ekidandy(op):
The smartphone market gets even more competitive by the day due to the fact that the number of smartphone users just keeps increasing everyday. This competition makes smartphone makers want to make smartphones with the best features thereby creating the best user experience in order to stay ahead in the smartphone market.

One feature that would enhance user experience is wireless charging. Since most smartphone batteries do not last long, it's always a bit of a hassle to have to charge your phone or tablet every now and then. Wireless charging was pursued so users could charge their phones but also have the freedom to move about at the same time.

What is wireless charging and how does it work?
Wireless charging is also known as inductive charging. The makers of wireless chargers use the principle of electromagnetic induction. This involves the use of an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects.

Here is how your phone gets charged
To charge a phone without connecting directly via a cable, the base station (charging plate) is first of all connected to a power source before the phone is placed on it. So what happens in-between? Coils of wire in the base station (the charging plate) create an electromagnetic field as the current passes through (recall that the base station is first connected to a source of power). The coils of wire (induction coil) in the battery charging circuit of the device can derive electron flow from the field and the current produced is used to charge the phone.

Even though wireless charging is very good for our devices, it is advisable to cold boot your phone with a direct cable connection. Technology gets better each passing day. But are we ever going to see wireless charging without the short distance limit or perhaps one in which our phones can still charge at a long distance?
