I can't wait for when wireless charging is able to extend multiple/hundreds of feet.

Wired drones are already capable of so much, and powering them wirelessly is going to be a civilizational game changer.

Edit: I'm talking high concept sci fi. The likes of which is probably outside of our reach but what we can strive towards. On par with Star Trek Transporters and Communicators from the 60s.

Spoiler alert, it won't. Physics laws don't change.

You're not entirely wrong, and it's probably only a good idea in sci fi. But there's nothing wrong in aspiring to create tech near that hypothetical potential.

Even 20 years ago you'd have been called mad for charging a cell phone wirelessly.

Not really, it's something kids have been doing in science classes for many decades.
