Title: Wireless electricity may soon be available!!!

          A company, in America, that is able to power light bulbs using wireless electricity that travels several feet from a power socket predicts that wireless electricity may soon (five years from now), make tangled power cords a thing of the past. Engineers have developed several ways to convert electricity into something that's safe to send through the air without a wire. Some of their technologies are available on commercial scales, but they have some limits.
          According to the company's scientists, the system converts power into a magnetic field and sends it sailing through the air at a particular frequency but that it still needs to be refined a bit.
          Ideas about wireless electricity have been floating around the world of technology for more than a century. Nikola Tesla started toying with the ability to send electricity through the air in the 1890s. Since then, though, making wireless electricity technology safe and cheap enough to put on the market has been an arduous task for researchers.
