The first c ommercial jet pack  available for the small price of $68,000 , the first ever Apple iPad  was introduced ,  a  push for  space tourism by Virgin Galactica ,  the  nPower  PEG charg ed  handheld devices for $1 25...all available in 2010 1 .  How has this technology evolved since?  Apple is now selling  the 7 th  generation of the iPad   (has since added on the iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad pro)  and portable chargers can be purchased on Amazon for as little as $15. And for the jet pack? Well, like all the "cool" tech like the  hoverboard and Segway , it  couldn't retain interest from the average consumer nor did they have  $68k  waiting   to purchase a jet pack.   Jet packs also compli cate air transportation  among safety issues  like  a failed engine during flight...they're nothing but entertainment today.  

Like the 'exciting' tech above, the Electrical Industry has seen its fair share of new and evolving technology. It's interesting to see how far (or little)...
