But even the wireless chargers require a wire to get power to itself. Moreover, not all gadgets charge wirelessly.

What if there was another way to power up these devices? It is the  USB keystone jack ! Yes, these are USB ports that go directly in the wall of your house.

Back in the days, when USB ports didn’t exist, Pentium or Pentium II ports saved us. You will likely remember having multiple colored ports to deal with! And how can we not remember PS/2 connector or serial port to connect a mouse and keyboard? I am sure you must have remembered about having to hook up those bulk printers and scanners with parallel ports and metal clamps.
