Universal Serial Bus, better known as the USB, has been present for many years in computer history. Today we couldnt imagine our computers and devices without USB support, and when USB was invented, its creators had no clue that it would become such a hit in the future. Recently we got an interesting concept that might enhance and change the way in which standard USB works.

As you know, USB was created in 1995 and over the years we got three versions of it that have provided us with different transfer speeds. The USB port is now widely used for transferring files from your USB device to the PC and vice versa. Besides that, the USB port is also used for recharging portable devices such as phones, cameras and media players. I suppose the only flaw of this method is that youll have to keep your computer turned on in order to recharge your devices.

However, if you want to recharge your device without your PC, this interesting concept might be the right thing for you. Designed by Lv Jianhua, He Dawei, Zhou Hanxiao and Xu Yao, this is a power outlet that has USB ports on it that will allow you to recharge all your USB devices with ease.

This looks like an interesting concept but so far its just an early concept. Who knows, we might actually see USB power outlets someday when we check into a hotel in the future.
