6 Minute English - Wireless furniture for phones
Could I borrow your phone charger please. My phone just died.
I don't think my charger compatible with your phone. Compatible means when you can use things together. I'm afraid there will be no status update for you today then, Rob.
I can't believe one of the power already.
Well, you should interval a state of your phone. It's a big drain of the battery.
State of the art means something has the newest idea in the futures, like my phone. So I should stuck with the dinosaur like yours, Neil.
Ah..dinosaur here means something that is out of date. You can laugh of my phone but it got plenty of battery life left. I'm on your, Rob.
Well, I just pop up an ask. Some one get the same charger.
Stay away you are. We are recording the programme. And today's show is you guessed it all about phones.
Yes, that's right, Neil. And we're also talking about wireless furniture.
I bag your pardon.
Yes, furniture with builtin wireless charger technology, like a coffee table. So you just put your phone on the table and technology does the rest.
Magic. And wireless technology is the way mobile phone work using radio wave to send and receive data. So that's what we need a desk with builtin charging spot for both our phones. But would it be compatible for both of them.
Well, that's a excellent question. And I don't have an answer. But can you tell me the answer to this question. What do modern phone batteries contain? Is it
(a) Nickel
(b) Lithium
(c) Lead acid
Well, lead acid sounds dangerous. So I think it either Nickel or Lithium. I'll go with Lithium.
OK, we'll find out if you're right or wrong later on. But not, let's listen to journalist XXXX who thinks the mobile phone has stopped us having conversations. And listen our phrase that means it sound likely to happen soon.
I think yesterday how used to be here if you're going to a coffee or pub maybe, look for a lose out. But now the first thing you're looking for suck it. Trying find if you can charge .. you know. Or someone have the same charger. Yes. And maybe with it I might be been naive or suspect time especially with them I kiss you. A wireless charger furniture. Maybe I thought battery is died more frequently. Maybe I'm going to .. you know, look up be more, having more conservation, not hold my breathe. You can't be hope.
Mm, dating is just really interesting thing that. So let's listen to that clip again.

So, do you get it. Another way you're saying it's unlikely to happen soon is .. I'm not holding my breath. Now XXX doesn't think key of the idea of wireless charging furniture. She thinks our phones is stopping us having conversations.
Its sounds ridiculous. But it's true, isn't it. We spend far too much time staying with our phone instead of talking to each other.
Oh sorry, what's that, Neil. I'm just looking my phone.
Come on Rob, Put the phone away.
Ok that's because phone functionality that what phone can do is increasing all the time. But let's move on now and think green for minute. Other environmental factors to consider in relation to new mobile phone technology.
Let's listen to XXXX talking about the latest motor of one mobile phone brand, and find out.
To take decision to make it seal to nail. so no use or replace of battery, an ideas you're more likely to say: you know what? I went replace my battery on new phone.
So XXX says this new phone doesn't have a user replaceable battery. Meaning you can't take it out and replace it. And this is the problem for the environment.
That's right. Environmentalist want products that design to take it a part. Then it can be easily updated, repaired or recycle. But you can't do it with seal unit. A unit that can't be opened.
And this means top sick or Poisonous material are off and down in land field. And you guess it, that's really bad for our environment. Now remember the beginning of the programme, I ask you what do mobile phone batteries contain?
And I said Lithium.
And you know your battery well because that's the right answer.
Wo, what a great answer.
I don't think my charger compatible with your phone. Compatible means when you can use things together. I'm afraid there will be no status update for you today then, Rob.
