Emerging Technology Part one
So! I read the Article about the Solar Microgrids used in rural India! Did you know most people in rural India have a hard time getting there phones charged? And have to go all the way to a charging kiosk. I had no idea! And thanks to two men Nikhil Jaisinghani and Brian Shaad, they cofounded Mera Gao Power! The company's goal is to give most villages a source of power to charge there phones, and give them new clean light instead of the lamps they normally would use. In the future they are hoping to be able to create more affordable solar panels that will allow them the ability to do so much more, like cooling fans, televisions, and more. And the whole village would help pay for it and be able to have it individual. It's really a shocking thing to realize that they don't have power and television t most homes like us Americans!
The actual Article should you be interested: http://www2.technologyreview.com/article/427670/solar-microgrids/
Compared to 2009 when we were just starting to explore memory chips. We've come such a long way considering memory chips are installed in almost every piece of technology we use. It's shocking to see how far we have come from the year 2009. We've mastered the ability to use a memory chip and now have converted that into what's now known as "sky drives/ clouds".
Should anyone wish for a blast back to the past : http://www2.technologyreview.com/article/412189/tr10-racetrack-memory/
