Technology Review: Taxis of Tomorrow, Flying Cars
The taxi of tomorrow gets a failing grade from me for one reason: it needed to be 100% electric to pass.

The impending Age Of Abundance was prophecied in the scriptures thousands of years ago.

Instagram Sell Feedback
@JerryKetel I think they should have asked for a higher price.

@paramendra That kind of money reminds me of the MySpace and AOL deals. Crazy and ultimately overpriced. #Bubble

@urbantrekker I think they undersold themselves.

Power
Technology Review: The Computing Trend that Will Change Everything: using ultra-low-power computing, consider the wireless no-battery sensors ..... These sensors harvest energy from stray television and radio signals and transmit data from a weather station to an indoor display every five seconds. They use so little power (50 microwatts, on average) that they don't need any other power source. ..... and that means an explosion of available data ..... "nanodata," or customized fine-grained data describing in detail the characteristics of individuals, transactions, and information flows .... if a modern-day MacBook Air operated at the energy efficiency of computers from 1991, its fully charged battery would last all of 2.5 seconds ..... will help the "Internet of things" become a reality—a development with profound implications for how businesses, and society generally, will develop in the decades ahead. It will enable us to control industrial processes with more precision, to assess the results of our actions quickly and effectively, and to rapidly reinvent our institutions and business models to reflect new realities. It will also help us move toward a more experimental approach to interacting with the world: we will be able to test our assumptions with real data in real time, and modify those assumptions as reality dictates.There are implications to the internet of things, of small sensors constantly streaming data about, say, the ecosystem. This trend is great news for devices that are much smaller than the smartphone. You are looking at pea size particles that are smart.

Another Ode To Big Data
We are looking at smart particles that don't need to have screens.
