Storage units both big and small are undergoing some drastic changes as they become more necessary in people's everyday lives; these examples of locker innovations are some ways in which they have been tweaked to meet the needs of contemporary individuals. Whether integrating technology in order to charge cellphones while resting inside them or simply embracing individuality by allowing people, particularly students, customize their lockers, the changes range in a variety of ways.
As the latter shows, these examples of locker innovations focus as much on style as they do on practicality. By improving their design aesthetically and not just functionally, the surrounding areas are improved as well. In the case of students, this can ensure that they take better care of the school premises.
