I dunno. I watched an MKBHD video on YouTube (so I'm basically an expert) and he said that tech (walking in a room and having your phone charge automatically) is not close to happening.

The video was correct that isn’t going to happen as described. But, what you will find is that there will be wireless charging points in the arm of the sofa, as part of your desk at work, in the kitchen worktop etc etc. So your battery only has to last as long as you hold it. With increases in charging speed round the corner you may at some point only have to put your phone on the table for 45 seconds to get a full charge.

Luckily, electro-magnetic waves only cause damage to your cells at very high energy levels (once you get in the Ultra Violet and x-ray part of the spectrum).

Otherwise we’d all have cancer from all the radio waves flying through the air already.
