Thinking out of the box
Ever do that? I few days ago, I was thinking, will electricity ever be replaced by something else? Face it, electricity runs just about everything. Imagine if someone came up with a much cheaper and cleaner alternative to electricity. MAny have tried to make electricity cheaper and cleaner, but I have never heard of an attempt to replace it with something totally different. I'm not sure it is even possible, but then again, people probably never thought electricity was probable just a hundred or so years ago!
We can generate magnetism, but we use electricity to do that, as a rule. We can power things without wires now, but what if we could do the same thing without any kind of electrical current. That would make someone a few coins!
