I've been doing some research on Nikola Tesla and have done up some graphic design work that speaks to his genius (I'll post some here soon) and it seems that wireless electricity may come to fruition.
The pessimistic side of me says power/electricity won't be free as Nikola Tesla wanted it to be. The image to the left is of the unfinished Wardenclyffe tower, which was to be Tesla's design for wireless transmission to power the world. J.P. Morgan ponied up the funds to have this completed but when Tesla frowned at Morgan's question about how he can stick a meter to it and make money off the thing, arguments ensued and J.P. Morgan stopped funding altogether.
Here's how wireless power could work for a laptop:
1) Power from mains to antenna, which is made of copper
2) Antenna resonates at a frequency of 6.4MHz, emitting electromagnetic waves
3) 'Tails' of energy from antenna 'tunnel' up to 5m (16.4ft)
4) Electricity picked up by laptop's antenna, which must also be resonating at 6.4MHz. Energy used to re-charge device
5) Energy not transferred to laptop re-absorbed by source antenna. People/other objects not affected as not resonating at 6.4MHz
