The Solution to Poor Cell Phone Battery Life: Complimentary Phone Charging Station

It seems that many of our friends, or almost anyone we talk to, has some difficulty getting through the day without their cell phone dying. It has gotten so bad, that we have even heard of people completly turning their phone off in the middle of the day just to make sure that they have enough juice for their commute home in case they need to make a phone call. If a DIY cell phone charger is not your thing, then what are your options? While flying through Singapore the other week, I came across something that I wish was more of a common sight here, a complimentary gadget charing stand.

What you see on the stand is a series of locking doors with the appropriate manufacturer plugs inside. Simply plug in your gadget, lock the door and take the key with you. Now, instead of trying to hunt down an outlet in the waiting area or hallway, you can relax with a cup of coffee while waiting for your flight knowing that your phone is secure and charging up.

I would most likely forget that I put it in there until 20 minutes into my next flight when the flight attendant announces that portable electronic devices are allowed. What happens to forgotten items?
