Okay, I have a rant today, and I’m sure many of you have faced the same problem I am facing.  I have major cord overload.  You don’t realize how many gadgets you have until you try to organize all the cords to charge said gadgets.  In our case, we have a drawer completely full of cords, and several of the more frequently used cords are stationed near plugins for easy access.  They add up to a lot of cords.

The end that goes into the outlet is universal, at least in our country, so why can’t manufacturers do the same with the other end?  I know it’s all about profit, and they make quite a bit of money on those cords, but could they, just for once, consider end user convenience over padded wallets?

Just a few years ago, I could get by with one or two cords so it wasn’t much of an issue.  Now that we have smart phones, e-readers, laptops, MP3 players and all those other gadgets, having a different cord for each one is a logistical nightmare.

If one major electronics manufacturer decided to hear my plea and begin making all of their cords universal, they would get my business for life.  I promise. 

Is it really so much to ask that we could have a single power cord to charge all of our gadgets?  Or at the very least, a single cord to charge one class of gadgets such as cell phones, laptops, etc.  I am beginning to see why people are still choosing battery-powered gadgets.
