#3. CONDUCTIVE FINGERS Wouldn’t it be handy if you could put one finger in a plug socket, then another finger in your MP3 player or mobile phone to charge it up? It would save having to worry about chargers and would be an environmentally sound solution

Conductive fingers and ear-lids would be awesome!
