An Explosion of Power Cords

چکیده
Published by the IEEE CS n 1536-1268/17/$33.00 © 2017 IEEE T amount of business travel I have been doing has greatly increased in the past year—so much so that I have achieved “status” on one of the airlines, which makes the travel a bit more bearable. However, all of this travel has really hammered home the power issues of pervasive computing and the Internet of Things. When I travel, I bring along numerous electronic devices; consequently, I also bring along a shocking number of power cords! Furthermore, when I travel abroad, I have to bring more than one power adapter to have any hope of charging all of my devices. It’s utterly ridiculous!

1 Only use electrical devices with 3-conductor power cords and 3-prong plugs (Figure 1 shows a plug with a broken ground prong – do not use). 2 Do not use cheater plugs (3-prong to 2-prong adapters, Figure 2). They eliminate the ground connection and increase the possibility of serious shock hazards. 3 Always unplug equipment by grasping the plug, not the cord. 4 Routinely check equipment power...
