Researchers have discovered a way to generate electricity from a genetically engineered virus. Once this technology is perfected, you will be able to power devices through basic kinetic actions like walking up stairs or opening a door.  You could conceivably power your laptop just by walking around with it.  That's a virus I wouldn't mind having!
