If you are not taken back by the plethora of online information, you need to wake up and appreciate the age in which you live in. Never before has it been so easy to access countless amounts of online information. There is never a time where we do not have the answer to questions. We can always know answers, or I should say that if we do not, they are so incredibly easy to find. It is not just the miracle of the internet that allows us to find so much online information. We also should thank the technology that allows us to access online information on the go. I am talking about mobile technology, namely the smart phone. As long as you have a signal on your smart phone, you can look up any online information and find your answer. This mobile technology is all due to a piece of technology that many do not realize is behind everything with a screen that we hold dear. I am talking about the lithium ion battery. The lithium ion battery makes it possible for small devices to have enough power to feed our need for online information. Without the lithium ion battery, there is no way that our smart phones, laptops, and other mobile devices would be able to hold their power for the time that we demand. Imagine if you had to charge your smart phone every few hours. I doubt many people would like that. The lithium ion battery is even being used in cars, and one day it might be what powers your automobile. It seems like disposable batteries are becoming a thing of the past, and to me, that is a good thing. Not only are they bad for the environment, but they are costly and expensive. All of our devices that can lead us to online information are now being powered by the small, extremely powerful, lithium ion battery.
