A pleasant and surprising development in recent years has been the almost universal adoption of Micro USB chargers. I remember a time not too long ago when every electronic gadget came with its own proprietary charger and cable, and there was little to no crossover between brands or even devices. So the charger you bought for your cell phone one year would be unable to charge the next phone you bought.

Caring for introverts and extroverts

Found floating around on the internet: How to Care for Introverts: - Respect their need for privacy
- Never embarrass them in public
- Let them observe first in new situations.
- Give them time to think; don't demand instant answers
- Don't interrupt them
- Give them advance notice of expected changes in their lives
- Give them 15-minute warnings to finish whatever they are doing
- Reprimand them privately
- Teach them new skills privately
- Enable them to find one best friend who has similar interests and abilities
- Don't push them to make lots of friends
- Respect their introversion; don't try to remake them into extroverts
And of course, the supplement, How to Care for Extroverts: - Respect their independence
- Compliment them in the company of others
- Accept and encourage their enthusiasm
- Allow them to explore and talk things out
- Thoughtfully surprise them
- Understand when they are busy
- Let them dive right in
- Offer them options
- Make physical and verbal gestures of affection
- Let them shine
Here's a better design of the extrovert one.
