technology is getting better and better yet battery life is getting worse and worse, amirite?

I get what you mean but I think it's a sign that we don't know how to put our technology down for a little while to maintain batteries.

That's cos tech awesomeness is in direct proportion to bat usage. eg. My Galaxy Tab 10.1 lasts for abt 24 hrs, but my friend's iphone lasts only abt 12.
