I'm looking forward to when electronics are not "technology" and are just another material used in products. But for that to happen, the electronics have to be absolutely foolproof. Is a furniture manufacturer equipped to offer tech support?

Do you require tech support for your power strip? It has electronics in it.

To be foolproof, the device's function must be very simple, like that of a power strip or an electric kettle. (A microwave is already too complex for that.)

I suspect a wireless charger's function is simple enough to become foolproof. Wired chargers are mostly foolproof already.

Admittedly I am not familiar with all types of wireless charging technology, but I worked on some prototypes of such a little under 10 years ago (powering blenders and 1 kW cooking devices wirelessly through a countertop), and they were hopelessly complex and full of software. Perhaps my experience is now outdated, but it left me with strong doubts about any prospects for foolproof-ness.
