My article was about a group of people starting an electric company in order to bring electricity to villages in India. Many families had kerosene lamps in order to light their houses before this, and would be forced to make an hour trip to a city so they could recharge their phone. The company is charging 100 rupees($2) per kilowatt hour, for 0.2 amps for 7 hours. Its not much, but it can charge 2 lights and a phone charging point. It's a lot better than what they had before.
I can assume that future technologies will be more futuristic than we think. We are advancing a lot faster in tech than we should, and that's a good thing. I believe future technology will mostly be making things easier, such as storage comparments in video game consoles, allowing the user to select the game they want to play without getting up. I was suprised the most by the Nanapore Sequencing article, because it sounds so high tech, and it's so useful. Possiblities for the future in my articles area are that all the third world countries will become powered, and each home will soon have as much power as the rest of the world. Two technologies from 2009 seemed to corespond with technologies from 2012. Towns running on solar power at night from batteries, while 2012 had more effective ones. The other tech was bringing internet access to third world countries, while 2012 is bring more power to them. My final statement is that I believe technology will never stop growing, and we will always find a way to make the current technology better.
