I was really surprised that people didn't really find it annoying them having to carry around a charger or a portable battery. I thought most people would find it annoying, but the results were completely different from what I discovered.

| What the Need Is: Not having to carry around a charger | What the Need Is Not: They do not care to have to carry a charger |
| Why the Need Exists: phones still need exterior chargers to charge the phones | Alternative Explanations: It is so used to them that they find it comfortable carrying their own chargers. |
As someone who has to carry a clunk portable battery pack with me everywhere, I'm also surprised that there are people out there who don't mind. I wonder if the size of their portable battery pack affects how much they care about having to carry it around. I know my bigger, longer lasting one is about as 4 times as heavy as my smaller, one charge containing pack.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI definitely think there needs to be a better solution to poor battery life in many phones nowadays. I think that the phone cases with built in chargers are still impractical because they are big and chunky. Carrying around a portable phone charger is also a hassle because you need to remember to charge that too. I personally find it annoying to carry around phone chargers and have to worry about my phone batter.I think it is a great idea!
