Assignment 7

As i was searching i found 2 blogs that caught my interest Engadget and Slashdot.   They both had post going as far as green technology to what some companies are coming out with or stopping making.  One of the blogs I read on Engadget was a article on some the green technology being used by companies like ZenithSolar. I quote from the article exactly;

"Green power lit up the world this week as ZenithSolar smashed the record for solar efficiency with its massive parabolic mirrors and Denmark unveiled plans to construct a towering "cathedral" that will transform waste into energy."

There was also talk in the article about batteries made from used coffee capsules and a foldable paper-thin solar cell from MIT. Another foldable tech was a showcase of the first biodegradable paper watch.  I was honestly just amazed at how far green technology has come that we can actually make a disposable watch. Now on slashdot the article that really caught my eye was about how there is a lesson to be learned from Taco Bell's programing.  I mean they pull 1.9billion in a year and basically mix and match roughly 8 ingredients. What I took away from the article was that all these extra bells and whistles are sometimes not the best awnser. using small group of basic technology you can nix and match it and turn it into a multi billion dollars idea.
