We do not know what the future actually holds for us. However, one thing that I am (almost) certain of is that all of our daily-use products will eventually become “smart”. Over the past couple of decades, we have seen numerous electronic gadgets like watches, vacuum cleaners, and refrigerators become smart. Now, a company has developed smart benches that can charge your smartphone wirelessly and even charge your e-bikes or scooters.

Now, the Steora CLassic is a regular-looking bench but packs a lot of tech inside. It comes with two Qi-supported wireless charging areas to charge your smartphones and headphones wirelessly. Image: Include

The Steora City is a more advanced version of the Classic and packs more tech aside from the aforementioned ones. So, apart from all the above features, the Steora City packs an LCD display along with an optional AI camera that can capture the environment around it and monitor citizens in the area.

The company claims that they do not store any of the videos. So, as per the company, the privacy of citizens is not being murdered by this bench.

Finally, the Steora Cyclo is the most advanced version in this line as it serves as an entire service station for electric bikes and scooters. Image: Include
