It just occurred to me that being able to call a friend or relative in a different part of the world and exchange ideas and information is AMAZING! I mean when you think about what it was like prior to telephones, it’s just mind blowing the incredible options and power we have. Being [...]

I love it that we’re getting closer and closer to the point where all televisions are super light, super thin, and super awesome. The picture quality has already improved so much with HD, and we’ve already begun to see TV’s only a few inches wide…
I’ll bet in the future an awesome graphic display will [...]

Global Warming is caused by an excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, right? Gases like Carbon Dioxide… Which we humans breathe out, and trees and plants breathe in. Then the plants produce oxygen, which we breathe in, etc., etc., etc.
And a few years ago, lots of people were up in arms [...]

I recently watched a few segments of a show about very fast electric cars, which are hyped to be predecessors to cars of the future. One of them stood out because of how it reacts to stop lights. As soon as the light turns green, the driver puts his foot on the gas [...]

Recently I mentioned how underwater turbines seem like a good idea. Yesterday I watched “Life After People,” and it presented the likely scenarios of how things will fall apart if humanity suddenly disappears. It said the gas-powered electricity-producing facilities would shut down in a matter of hours, nuclear power plants would automatically shut [...]

I saw something on TV recently that caught my eye. It said that scientists have calculated that the U.S. on average receives 10^25 units of sunlight energy per year. We only consume 10^20 units per year of energy from various sources.
This means that if we could perfect solar technology, we’d be set for [...]

I recently read that off the coast of Florida tons of water rushes by in a strong, smooth current, never pausing, never stopping. This energy can be harnessed with turbines, and would equate to 10 nuclear power stations, capable of supplying power to (I believe) 1/3 of Florida. What if we did that [...]

It would seem pretty lame if humanity refused to clean up its technological act, and became similar to the locust-like creatures in “Independence Day.” If we were to ditch our problem planet and just pick up and go to Mars, what would happen? First we’d terraform, and then after a couple of hundred [...]

I saw a link on Yahoo recently to an article or video news unit about how we might go about putting human outposts on the moon and Mars. They said one option for terraforming Mars would be to add a bunch of methane gas to its atmosphere, giving it a much-needed greenhouse effect, which [...]

When I heard that nuclear power was making a comeback, I figured there’d be a bustling new industry created virtually overnight. Left and right, guys with the experience and training would be hired into cushy nuclear power plant jobs. Suddenly, there’d be a knowledge vacuum, and training programs would pop up everywhere.
But could [...]
