One of the things that I really love to learn about is what might happen with technology in the future. I like finding out about concepts that may or may not become real products but that do point to the potential for technological changes.

So I have to admit that I was excited this morning to learn about a concept phone that might use Coke (yes, the soda) for its power.

The info:

• The phone uses fuel cell technology based on sugary water. There’s not much water more sugary than Coke!
• It’s eco-friendly. Much better than batteries and totally biodegradable.
• It’s useful in parts of the world where other eco-friendly technology isn’t going to work. For example, solar powered phones aren’t viable everywhere.
• The phone is just a prototype right now. It’s not actually on the market but it could be something we’ll see developed in the future
