Mayhap 'twas translated from Shakespearean English to modern English? What thinkest thou?
I am amazed with how battery technology has progressed. Several years ago, I would get say three hours with my laptop before it commits seppuku. Now, my new laptop has a battery life of an amazing three and a half hours! It's incredible.
Though sarcasm aside, battery life needs improving.
The problem with battery life is that technology does a lot more things now than it did before. Mobiles back in the day could last a fortnight before needing a charge, whereas smartphones are typically a one day affair.
I'm quite fortunate with my phone, it's a dumbphone and has almost no special features, it does calls, and texts, a basic calendar and calculator and other assorted things, and that's it. From a full charge, I can leave it for a week and still be on at least one bar.
Aye, I have one of the same. It was pretty refreshing going back to it from my smartphone. xD
