Under this table I was sitting at, I spotted a socket and a USB-A port - useless for my Mac. This was also the time when my iPhone was hitting the 10% mark, as I was hotspotting the MacBook on 4G, and it was working overtime to download a TV show I had forgotten to download before we left.on the Mac. While I was happy by this, I felt annoyed that I was restricted by the ports around me - there was no last resort, the resorts had been closed off from me.
On one hand, it shows how fast technology is advancing. We all need to charge our devices, but there comes a point where these ports become out of date, and are unable to keep up with the mammoth capacities and charging speeds that your iPhone, tablet and gaming console require. On the other hand however, our trip showed how industries such as hospitality can only reap the benefits of their investments in USB-A to please the customer for so long. Eventually, someone who fleetingly uses a smartphone now and again, will notice that their wire doesn't fit a USB-A port in a hotel, and that's when it's going to cause issues.
So do trains and hotels replace these ports with USB-C until the next port arrives to replace it? Of course not, it would be a huge spend and take months to do this to hotel rooms and train carriages over and over. But something should be done to make sure that others in a similar situation to mine, don't feel left out or frustrated by the lack of available ports for their USB-C-only devices.
