RE: The future of cell phone charging
Six hours of movement! That is an awful long time. Unless you take the backpack to school as you WALK to school every day, that means it will take too long to be really helpful. After all: even if you walk 20 minutes to school each way, and maybe another 20 during the day, that will still take TWO WEEKS to charge!

somehow all I can think about is my father's self winding Bulova in the 70's, and how much more efficient it was. ..... of course back then people actually left their watches on all the time and didn't change them like socks.
