At CES® 2016, in Las Vegas, was an innovation we've wished, many times, to have had with us on the road.

Meet the "M-Edge": power bags and backpacks.

These are bags designed to charge your technlogy while you're on the go.  The M-Edge website promotes them as being powered for "gym to office" or for the playing field.  However, we can't help but think this is a great idea for conferences, as well.   (After all, at the conferences we attend, everyone seems to have the same idea--and the same dying smartphone or tablet--at about the same time!)

The M-Edge comes in models that will power devices including laptops and e-readers, according to their website.

During his second day exhibiting at CES®, product developer Jonathan McCune talked about M-Edge's patented technology and how the bags enable their owners to stay "connected".
