Technology seems to expand to all areas of our life, cars, homes, and now even our luggage. “Smart Luggage” is the new and advanced luggage that is not only sleek and durable, but can provide charging for cellular devices and tracking of your suitcase. This allows users to not have to gather around “charging stations” ever again and simply just plug into their suitcase. Also, losing your luggage becomes a thing of the past when you can be tracking its every location right from your smartphone
Although, these suitcases have ran into some trouble in the airports. Many airlines have been prohibiting this smart luggage even if they have a removable lithium battery. Many employees have exclaimed the confusion among their policies towards this luggage. A solution seems to be in place where if users can remove their lithium battery from their luggage and carry it on the plane. If the battery is removable and can be carried on board, passengers should have no issue.
This is truly fascinating to see how technology is expanding to every aspect of our lives. Everything is being further advanced by have technology connected to it. Sooner than later, technology will be impossible to escape and will envelope everything in our lives. Smart luggage is just the beginning of a technological future.
