As for batteries, technology would respond to the demand ...
I remember my first cell phone in 1988 , the phone was huge and heavy, the battery lasted about 12 hours on standby, 1-2 hours talk time ... Today, we know how it is .. So if a guy like you would have said at the time :
"I don't need a phone that can't give me a few days of autonomy, I have a paget and I will use payphone when needed .. "
Amazing how right wing people are against progress....
