Is there a name for the phenomenon where the general public won't stop mentioning a solution that they /imagine/ will be standard one day without knowing the details behind it?
That's a word salad but like, "plug type won't matter once wireless charging becomes the norm" is, uh, a sentiment few people who know much about electricity transmission and electric vehicles will agree with, yet it's repeated ad nauseum.
@TechConnectify ignorance on repeat.
It's sad that one quick look into the technology behind wireless charging will show just how power inefficient it is, yet many people would rather assume the cool-looking tech will be the winner than take two minutes to read up on its its potential shortcomings.
Reminds me of... well... ALL the gadgetbahns out there, promising the same solutions that a robust transit system for that region could have been solving all this time.
New and shiny gets pushed because new and shiny is sexy, and old tech is old and rusty and dingy and boring and doesn't sell tickets very well. It doesn't matter if it's a tried and true tech, companies would rather be pretending to experiment on the edge for a buck than provide a cheap reliable service no one gives much mind to.
