#Wireless Power from Across The room A startup called Energous aims to let you charge your gadgets without plugging them in. o you want us to charge your phone?
and other small gadgets from across a room without wires. Energous hopes other companies will license this technology and build it into all kinds of products and places,
if we didn have so many wires and gadgets to plug in. Yet many of the wireless charging products that have come to market have relied on special charging mats that juice up devices at a short distance,
Energous charging method uses a transmitter with lots of small antennas to send radio waves to a receiver connected to the gadget being charged.
The transmitter uses Bluetooth to scan for nearby gadgets that are authorized to receive a charge.
it will be able to charge more gadgets at a time. The company expects the first products using its technologyuch as smartphone cases that can deliver wireless power to the deviceso be shown off by partner companies at the International Consumer electronics Show in Las vegas next January

#Growing number of Canadians cutting traditional television, CBC research shows A growing number of Canadians are ditching their traditional television subscriptions, according to a new CBC research report.
"meaning they had a television subscription and cancelled it.""With the prevalence of TV content on the internet and Netflix, Canadians are seeing less need to have a TV subscription,
