Walking on the streets of Boston, you will find some special outdoor seats. These seats are equipped with a thick charging pile. When you are ready to sit down and rest, you will find that these big seats can also help us charge. Boston introduced these seats in the park in 2013. After upgrading, one seat can charge two mobile phones through USB interface at the same time.

In the future, these charging devices will be popularized throughout the United States and placed at the gate of Starbucks. These seats are called Soofas. The co-founder of Soofas said that this is the first step to enter the smart city home, and there is infinite possibility to update the city's mobile devices. Soofas' company started in MIT Media Lab, which is famous for exploring various strange inventions.
According to foreign media reports, each Soofas sells for $3000 and has a life span of about 25 years. The first wave of Soofas will hit Boston next week.
