Break Through Green Technologies

This list of the top 5 break through GREEN technologies are going to save our planet. The development and implementation of these technologies is going to help fight global warming. Not only will these developments help from human destruction of the planet but also help give the slowly recovering economy a push. Top 5 green technological breakthroughs from the past few years that we think will positively impact the way we live:

DYNAMIC BUILDINGS
TUBURCLE BLADES
MICRO-ALGAE
WAVE & TIDAL POWER
SOLAR-THERMAL ENERGY




Dynamic Buildings
These builds are being built in Dubai,UAE. They are constantly turning buildings so each floor is constantly spinning at slow pace to allow for residents to get views of all sides and to always have sun. But what makes the dynamic buildings so green is that they are self-powered, with the ability to generate electricity for itself, as well as for nearby buildings. It achieves this feat with 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.


MICRO-ALGAE
Micro-algae has garnered considerable attention lately, since it can produce 30-100 times the oil yield of soybeans on the same acreage, while it’s biomass remnants can be reused as cattle feed supplement or fermented into ethanol.

One of the main obstacles to industrial production of biodiesel from algae is the organism’s reliance on photosynthesis for energy to consume CO2 and produce oils. Solazyme, a San Francisco-based startup, has been working for the past five years on deriving biofuel from algae without sunlight. They are using sugar. Algae are not entirely dependent on sunlight for growth, in fact, they are 1000 times more efficient at producing oils from sugar compared to growth by sunlight. Although the process is still in development, Solazyme’s claim may prove to have revolutionary merit.

These are the two most dramatic technological changes and improvements because they are dealing with issues that need to be addressed immediately. The cost to live in rotating, energy generating building in Dubai will defiantly be high. Technological development comes from the top the rich adapt first and then as the cost comes down the rest can afford to utilize the technology.

Iphone and Idriver!

Technology is there its simply amazing! Eventually we will be sitting at home play with an iphone and picking up a friend at same time. It crazy the iphone is truly igniting the imagination of many people and creating ideas that are just stunning if they become aspects of our daily lives.
Check this video out!!

Do it yourself sites



Handy Web Sites for Home Sellers Who Go It Alone
About 15 to 20 percent of home sellers decide not to work through an agent, though that figure can change depending on the market. Those who choose to sell their homes themselves might come out ahead by not having to pay commission, if they manage to strike a good deal. Several sites are designed specifically to help with the task.

USB EVERYTHING!!!

Back in 1996 the USB 1.0 specification was introduced. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a specification for establishing a communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computers). As is known USB was designed to replace different kinds of serial and parallel ports. USB can connect computer devices such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, printers, personal media players, flash drives, and external hard drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method. But the range of devices that can work with the USB has extended in recent times and in this article we would like to cover some of such unique and in some cases even somewhat eccentric gadgets deploying USB connection.

Rechargeable battery


This is one of the several most useful devices in a series of other numerous thingamajigs invented to support USB connection. As you can see from the picture you just need to open a cap on the battery and stick it into the nearest USB port, if any. While, of course if you have other devices that can be energized from USB connection without any need in batteries then it is also just another redundant widget.


AC Necktie

For the situations when you get hot and wish you had something to cool you down pull down on the knot of the tie, which will reveal a fan that sucks cool air in against your neck and inside your shirt. Yeah, the device is really unique and unusual, yet it certainly cannot replace the necessary fresh air you indeed start feeling that it is too stuffy and hot around you.

George Foreman USB iGrill

One website that criticized different USB devices made such a caustic remark on this gadget: “Did you know that the former boxer and twice Heavyweight Champion of the world George Foreman were into USB devices? Well, neither did we. But for $99.99 you can get your own USB powered grill standing next to your computer. For whom is this product meant to be? The boxing interested chef who also is a computer geek?"

The Potentials of Technology

Some interesting things that could change every aspect of daily life. Potentially free energy no more bills!! The potential freedom that these technological developments are talking remarkable! These are things that are probably never going to happen!

1. Future Technology - Free Energy
I want my energy bill to come only once, not every month. So be it solar or electro-magnetic, please make it personal and portable with batteries that keep going and going.
Check out - D.O.E. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

2. Future Technology - TransporterWhat kind of technology is required to scramble a person's atoms and send them for regrouping in foreign lands all in the blink of an eye? Imagine, I could work in Tokyo and sleep in Paris. Beam me up.
Check out - Quantum Teleportation or Scientists Report 'Teleported' Data

3. Future Technology - Replicator Technology (Stuff for Free)
Every time I saw Captain Picard (Star Trek Next Generation) ordering his Earl Grey Tea or Councilor Troy getting a triple alien fudge dessert from one of those replicators on the Enterprise, it made me jealous. I imagine you could send the dirty dishes back to the void where they came from. BTW, a replicator is a device that uses transporter technology to dematerialize quantities of matter and then rematerialize that matter in another form

4. Future Technology - Universal Communicator
Forget long distant bills and roaming charges (especially with me working in Tokyo and sleeping in Paris). I want a very small device that lets me talk and see anyone, anywhere and anytime. All for the price of the device and please throw in the ability for universal translation for a modest surcharge.

5. Future Technology - The Cure
For you name it.

6. Future Technology - Fountain of Youth
As a woman I consider this as a no-brainer desire for future technology. The "Fountain of Youth" was a legendary spring that renders anyone who drinks of its waters permanently young. What is the real future technology that will extend our lives and keep us looking youthful without surgery?

7. Future Technology - Protective Force Field
To shield me from the sticks and stones.

8. Future Technology - Flying Cars
I want a smooth ride all the way and I hope it's a convertible.

9. Future Technology - The Battery Operated Butler Did It
What can I say - housework sucks.

10.Future Technology - The Time Machine I have a few famous inventors I would love to meet in person and the idea of messing with the time-space continuum is exciting as well.

Obama on Internet Censorship

President Obama was in China and discussed freedom of speech. He spoke about how important it was to be able to use any means to express yourself like twitter, facebook or even this blog. Obama stated that he is a "big supporter of not restricting Internet use, Internet access, other information technologies like Twitter. The more open we are, the more we can communicate. And it also helps to draw the world together." President Obama
Obama was in China so he didnot directly talk about the restriction that Chinese government places on its citizens like censorship or even the questions that the students asked the president sound like they were approved by a government official because they avoided major questions that should have been asked.

Will Technology kill us?

How Technology will kill us!!!!
This sounds very funny and this article is amazingly funny its a Wes must read!!!!!!
Well it talks about Wifi/Radiation, this maybe very real with the amount of cell phone usage brain tumors are probably something that we will all be facing eventually. This is the only real point out of the seven that makes sense you should defiantly read this and have a great laugh. The other six points are:
6. Hackers and computer viruses
5. Global warming
4. Alien invasion
3. Nuclear radiation
2. Genetic engineering
1. Powerful artificial intelligence

THIS IS A MUST READ CHECK IT OUT!
