I am a bit older than you (36) and I think USB C charging is a great idea. I just bought a Nintendo Switch, and it is has USB C charger. It would be great if

  I'm even older (41) and it has nothing to do with this discussion at all :-p For the record, the sooner everything is USB C the better. Someone can make data-blocking charge-only cables.

    > Someone can make data-blocking charge-only cables. I thought the one Apple ships with the MacBook is a charge-only cable. [edit]I'm 46 - I would hate to break a thread[/edit]

      The USB-C cable that comes with a MacBook's power adapter is not charge-only but only supports USB 2.0 throughput for data [0]. I think that means it also can't be used for things like DisplayPort Alternate Mode. BTW, if you order an extra USB-C power adapter from Apple [1], it does not come with any cables, not USB-C, not AC for use between the brick and the wall. It only comes with the fold-out prongs (I don't know what non U.S. models are like) but thankfully they didn't change that connector type so if you have an AC cable from a MagSafe adapter, you can use it.
