Abstract
Mobile information and communication devices are instrumental in fulfilling the modern day needs of flexibility, mobility, communication and convergence. Conceding to the customer demands for more sophistication and convenience, the mobile device manufacturers are incorporating advanced features resulting in the emergence of mobile phones with camera, music player and colour screen, and laptops and notebook computers with powerful microprocessors. But the technology of rechargeable batteries, required to power these features, is not progressing equally, thus creating a power gap. The insufficient power supply is gradually emerging as the Achilles'' heel in the progress of the communications industry. The delay in development of other viable alternatives to meet this power gap is further worsening the situation, posing the threat of an energy crisis for the future that could lead to stagnation of advancements in mobile devices. The case study presents insights into the technological advancements in the mobile information and communication devices, the evolution of rechargeable batteries that power the mobile devices, and the reasons for an impending energy crisis. The case offers scope to discuss the viable measures to deal with the impending energy crisis.
